Current Affairs Irish Border and Brexit

The USA are talking about one as soon as we leave the EU.....maybe they didn’t get the memo......

And as soon as they do they will have to drop food standards to import US foodstuff and thus bar any sale of foods to the EU as they will be below required standards.

The EU and their pesky food hygiene rules , sticking their noses in . I think one thing we can all agree is once we can downgrade our food standards and hygiene rules we can all sleep a little better , can’t we ?

Yea, stake the economic future of the UK on Trump and Wilbur Ross, wise!
And even if there were a trade deal with the US, even under the Trump administration, I'd imagine it would be contingent on the border issue being settled.

A good question raised at PMQ’s today.....

“Mr Lewis - chair of the defence select committee - said: 'The next time shroud-waving EU negotiators claim a hard border is necessary on the island of Ireland, will she kindly ask them who would actually construct it?
'The Irish certainly won't, the British certainly won't, so unless the EU army plans to march in and build it, it surely can never happen.' .......

There would be no building involved. Its a border, not the Great Wall of China or Trump's proposed wall on the Mexican border ffs.

Oh yeah, that would be the killer....

May well be a trade agreement in fact it’s likely necessary it won’t be favourable for the UK though, not many will be.

Yeah, we’re screwed......life won’t be worth living.....we’ll all have to move to Dublin.....

It would.
You would be trading under WTO rules and according to your chancellor of the exchequer, you would have to implement a border in order to trade.

But sure, keep listening to the extremists who are desperately trying to change that narrative.

Yep, the whole of world trade will come to a halt because of the border issue.........no one will be able to trade with the U.K.......

great, and sure you don't have to bring back Trevelyon's corn. It might be needed in England

 

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

Don’t be silly.....

The quote mentioned building and construction so it not silly to point out that there is none involved.

If anyone is being silly it is the person who said that.
