Current Affairs Irish Border and Brexit

[Bluerover]

I don’t know how our friends on here from the Republic of Ireland view Leo’s politics in general but I think he is having a splendid Brexit,

Coveney as Foreign Affairs Minister is excellent.

There already has been a DUP split.

An even more extreme faction lead by a total fruitloop named Jim Allister and called the True Unionist Voice (TUV) broke away a few years ago,

I suppose a split whereby more equal factions will leave (IE the Dup splitting on say at least a 70/30 basis) would be very damaging. They are in a very tricky situation with this deal.

Caught a bit of LBC radio this morning. Nick Ferrari suggesting Ireland to blame for No Deal and repercussions being a boycott of Irish produce in the UK! Cue then lots of little Englanders calling up to happily go along with it.

The world has gone mad!

And you ignore the rest of my post for what reason? Oh. It doesn't suit your agenda against me right?

I've no idea who you are, let alone have an agenda against you. You made some comments, and I responded to one specific thing you said. I excised the rest of your post because it made it clearer what I was responding to.

The rest of your post was just guff anyway. Saying meaningless things like "most people I know don't want the Irish to suffer" whilst supporting policies and politicians that will lead to exactly that result isn't exactly portraying you in a great light (reminds me of those domestic abusers that question their victim "why do you make me do this?").

It also means that some people you know do want the Irish to suffer, which throws up questions about the circles you move in.

I voted to Remain, and I didnt give the issue a single thought.

Me neither, but then my vote was for the status quo, explicitly not ripping up and endangering existing treaties.

How the hell did he justify that? What a total plonker!! This is Cummings' strategy again...blame everyone else but those idiots (ie Johnson and his ilk) who landed us here in the first place.

The south trade 66% with the UK .... if I think back Labour wanted Ireland to have a single market customs deal now they rebuke that ...... it's worse than Mays deal really?
QT last night one brexiteer in the audience unify Ireland and let the irish brexiteers repatriate in the UK with compensation -
it's really getting stupid - The EU raised this issue they should sort it out......

@davek et al.

Thus is how English interviewers should be holding Brexiter toes to the fire instead of just letting Johnson and Farage spout their lies without much scrutiny.

Sensational stuff from Mark Carruthers at BBC NI.

I thought the DUP man’s head was going to explode.

Absolutely brilliant that from Bonnie Greer. Hopefully it made a few people think hard and think again about the damage they want to cause.

No Joey ... it’s not the EU problem.... it’s the leave campaigners problem and it can’t be solved

What is 66% Joey?

The UK caused this by starting up Brexit.

It's Northern Ireland that's really going to suffer.
You know, that part of the UK that keeps bring forgotten about
