Current Affairs Irish Border and Brexit

[NilSatisOptimum]

And why would Brandon Lewis think Northern Ireland would want to trade with the EU? I thought they were a protectionist block only in it for themselves?

"sovereign identity" Another non defined term for the eternally stupid.

You said it Peter.

It is there for all to see.

Including your good self.

Ok, you win the Internet If it makes you happy....

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.

Nothing has changed for the ROI in respect of NI, NI still has access to both U.K. and EU and the U.K. is now free of the EU, has a trade agreement in place and is beginning to do its own thing. The CTA is still in place, the GFA is still in place, why is anyone on edge.....

Exactly what is it you are complaining about now.....

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.......

This might help you answer the qyestion, Peter.

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

Id say be careful what you wish for. I wouldn't expect the loyalist gangs to be overjoyed at a united Ireland.

To clarify, be careful what you vote for as the state may not be able to protect you?

My family are in Louth, a border county in the RoI. I'll let you know if they report any upheaval to life. From what I hear, relief seems to be the mood.

I'm unemployed and living in Kildare. If ever there was an example of a man living in almost complete stasis, this is it
