I thought Ireland had an economic citizenship scheme until the late 90's.

Not sure it was widely used because of the sums needed to rely upon it, but I recall it being a policy.

I'm being lazy and not evidencing it, but I'll look later if needed.

I didn't know that Ireland did that, and I'm still not clear how/if some of these people qualified for citizenship. Normally, big investors in most countries, including the UK, give immigration concessions in exchange for investment but not passports.

A special customs union for Ireland could be negotiated, but the EU are just being so awkward they know it's a great way to cling onto a cash cow - the rest of the UK ......

Yes joe illegal tobacco products imported from outside the EU .
You can buy 200 cigarettes for 50 euro in Ireland but they are illegal cigarettes with no duties paid on them.
Millions are seized by Irish customs officers every year

Illegal ciggies come into every port in the UK, every day. They are the local currency for the small number of crew for their 2 or 3 days stay ashore.

They're not remotely the same thing though, because "the vast majority of racists would have voted Leave" has basis in fact.

What you said does not. It's simply stupid.

No more stupid than Leavers on here having to put up with ignorant association with being Racist. @AndyC @Bruce Wayne . So now that I’ve picked up an inappropriate comment report for trying to highlight the stupidity of people making inappropriate associations, I hope that all such other associations with being Racist are also stamped down upon......

As I've just said, it is more stupid. Significantly so.

Whether you like it or not, your viewpoint aligns with that of racists on this matter. It doesn't mean you are being called a racist personally, but you are on the same side as Yaxley-Lennon, Batten and co. It's not an "inappropriate association" - you are standing for the exact same thing.

So I'll say it again - the vast majority of racists support the thing you do. That's an indisputable fact. Instead of getting moody over me saying that, perhaps ask yourself why that is.
