Granted, thats another thorn.

My guess is that they’ll keep that one to barter away our fishing rights.......

Baffled me for ages why they have one. A border that is. But happy to concede I know jack about the history.

Again, the U.K. (Gibraltar) were happy without one, Spain put it in to teach us a lesson. Meanwhile thousands of Spanish workers endured disgraceful border holdups on their way to jobs provided in Gib without the EU once getting properly involved.......

Yes it has been explained a million times and you still don’t get it. The only people who want a hard border are the EU, not the U.K., not Northern Ireland, not Ireland.

The DUP want a hard border and they are your overlords at the moment!

 

[Ruairi77]

oh and Joey, there was a hard customs border between the north and south before the EU. The early 2000's was the first time there was no visible border since partition, because of the GFA, which in some part was made possible by both nations being members of the EU.

They are overlords of the entire EU at the moment.......

 

[Ruairi77]

We do not wish to belong to the EU. You say you are from Ireland, why did Ireland wish to leave the U.K. ? .....

Haha, oooh
Well...
You could start by googling Penal Laws, then move on to googling 'Cromwell and the Irish' then head on over to 'the great famine, was it avoidable?' then swing by 'plantations and absentee landlords' while being sure to catch a look at 'indentured servitude' and 'cannon fodder'.
Pretty similar reasons all in all

So you concede that the DUP, who control the balance of power in the UK, want a hard border....

I’ve no idea what they want, do you......

 

[Ruairi77]

Yea, they want a single UK out of the EU with a hard border.
They are the reason your 'free movement between the RoI and NI but not NI and GB' plan won't work.
What next Pete?

Wait until the issue of the ECHR comes up.

yea, if there was no plan for how to handle the very basic stuff, god knows how their going to cope with the minutiae.

I guess we’ll just have to stay in the EU then, although I’m not sure that the DUP want a hard border anywhere tbh......

Oh good, will they throw us out of that as well........

They definitely shot down your idea about how the border might work.
So what next Pete?
