The U.K. looks after all parts of the U.K. The U.K. protects all parts of the U.K. , actually the U.K. also protects the ROI airspace from Russian planes because the ROI doesn’t have the capability to do so.....

Are ROI neutral? In which case, whose interest are the UK acting in?
Ugh...
when I suggested a while ago that this outcome could work well for NI, you literally spent pages lambasting the idea and insisting that the UK would never bow to EU demands and change NIs status. There was a whole lot of ‘UK will all be treated the same’ talk before you moved on to computerized drone borders or some such.
Then why say NI maintains the “benefits” that EU membership brings?
You really are having a ‘mare here, Peter.
Exactly, Emlyn.
Peter has spent the past few years on here running the EU down without ever giving one tangible benefit to the UK that Brexit would bring.
Every half baked argument he put forward was shot down on the In or Out thread.
Every time he has dipped his toe into this thread his ignorance of Irish history has been laid bare.
But now, at last, he admits that Ulster (6 counties of) will “benefit“ from its close alignment with the EU.
And for once he is spot on.
@peteblue if it is all right for NI to continue to “benefit” from close alignment with the EU why is not all right fir the city of Liverpool to achieve the same status?
Or Scotland.
Or England.
Or Wales.
Mr. Michael Give agrees wuth you on this matter.

Why can’t we all have the “best of both worlds”?

I‘m glad to see you agree that the best of both worlds also includes the UK’s new found independence allowing it to change taxation and laws to suit itself, to put trade deals in place to suit both parties and not be compromised by the demands of 27 other countries. And you can’t have the best of both because the EU doesn’t allow it. It is not the U.K. stopping the ROI from doing anything it wants on laws, taxation, benefits or subsidies. It is not the U.K. stopping the ROI from pursuing advantageous trade deals. It is not the U.K. that dictates your law. It’s the EU....and you cannot bring yourself to accept that fact.......

Good question, why did the ROI and U.K. agree for this to be so. If The Russians wish to fly bombers across ROI whenever they want who is really bothered.....

It is the same. It's a throwback to original and illegal partition in the early 20s.
Let's be honest, the UK are practically ruled from Moscow now, so they probably could fly bombers over us if they were in any way arsed to do so.

No I don’t, because the ROI poses no threat to anyone, and that’s a great place to be. I sometimes wish we could just jack it all in and be a comfy little country minding our own business. Unfortunately the world does have some states that would happily walk all over Europe and indeed the ROI if they could. But they cannot because NATO protects it...
