accused James of being irrational when he said that the only option for the Northern Irish border post-Brexit is for Northern Ireland to remain in the Customs Union and Single Market.
He suggested that an electronic border would work - but came unstuck when James asked for just one detail of how it would work.
Listeners really enjoyed the exchange between James and Paul, which started off bad-tempered and escalated quickly from there.
