Current Affairs Irish Border and Brexit

[Emlynsqueakyvoice]

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...

Take all that guff to a Colonel Blimp thread. This is about the Irish border and the fact that the six counties are now separated from the UK...

If only the EU had an army, eh Pete?

They have always been separated by water, they still are, and they are still part of the U.K. and they are not part of the EU.....

Just watch the other idiot on the clip I just posted, Johnson. Then tell me that the six counties havent been sold down the river, or Irish Sea...

Actually I’m coming around to the idea. NI will eventually take the ROI under its wing and join the EU, Scotland will leave and join the EU and maybe even Wales. Then England can just sit like Switzerland, surrounded and protected by the EU, but outside of its laws and bureaucracy. Sounds good to me.....

I don't understand how that would assuage all your fears of an EU army controlled by Brussels which you have repeated many times throughout this thread, like in this deranged screed?

The problem as I see it is that we have no mark politicians in the EU who like flexing their muscles. Russia is not really a threat to the EU or the west militarily because they know that NATO could flatten it. So then you get to the question of why the EU needs an army, what is it for and who will control it. NATO does this at the moment and has been very successful because it has the USA joined at the hip and providing most of the money and hardware. But the EU has ambitions to be one of the big boys and throw its weight around. Once it has its own army it will do so and the recipient of this arrogance will be Russia and it’s borders and satellite countries, as the EU seeks to grow (look at Ukraine). The Russians have experience of German expansion. When the inevitable happens and the EU pushes too hard without USA blessing, NATO will not be involved and it will be down to the EU, and I do not want the U.K. to be part of it......

I tried watching it but tbh I don’t watch made up videos with an agenda....but I’m willing to accept if you say so that Boris has sold them down the river... by giving them the best of both worlds. I’d bet that the ROI wouldn’t mind being sold down the river like that by the EU....

Because now we are out of the EU, they can do what they like, to anyone. It’s not our problem anymore....

Anyway, back to the border.....

Thought not. I knew that you could not bear to see the lying liar lying again. It's another masterclass in saying absolutely anything to a crowd (think big red buses with lies on them) to get them onside and then abandoning them.
You voted for him...

Lol you're all over the shop.

Hopefully won't be one soon. As you rightfully say, the UK don't need NI and they wanted to stay in the EU. It's a win-win when we're finally united again imo

If NI are happy, I’m happy...mind you there are still a few on here who are grumpy......

Well tbf, you flipped your lid at Khal for asking a simple question, so everyone is a little on edge on things pertaining to Brexit.

So just because there are controlled items that can't enter Ireland from the Mainland, plus a requirement to complete customs forms, plus a restriction of taking more than £10k in cash, doesn't mean there's a border.
