Yes

Why dont we just take ireland and add it to the UK. Wouldnt be much they could do about it

Tony Smith the days of Britain taking over other countries is long gone pal😉

@@tonysmith5812 ha you fuckwit , thats like taking France totally independent country what are you going to do invade

@@tonysmith5812 It is very sad to see the particularily low level of common sense and knowledge from residents of UK.

It isn't preventing it though. It is going to happen. Ireland is responding in an understandable way but the EU is using Ireland and the troubles as a weapon. If the EU really cared about Ireland then it would not be ruling out a really good trade deal with the UK that solves all these problems..

Lol.

Jericho You are missing the point. If it’s gonna hurt anyone it will be in Ireland. If the U.K. crashes out Ireland gets a hard border. I’m impressed you have an 800 year memory. Shame about your comprehension skills.

The people who will be hurt most by your stupid Brexit are the British. That's obvious to everyone.

If you you think ireland the uk or the eu wont be affected by brexit then you are all misguided though i do think the uk will be hit the worst. The US china and russia are the ones who will benefit from brexit. The old divide and conquer comes to mind here.

Dublin gnp grew by 35% 2020. But ye will pay the £13 billion N.I. fund for years. Scotland will become a Norway. Richer they have more oil. Wales we love you and want to see you prosper. England nice decent people. It's time for you to fully acknowledge your brutal genocide in Ireland.

The hood Friday agreement wasn’t worth the hood it was printed on.

You're a Mogg slurping moron.

I imagine the shipping company might have goods to deliver to the UK, then find goods in the UK bound to the EU, to fill up the empty space and then keep going to the EU. And pretty much doing the same thing the other way around.

Do you sound like people from down and Belfast? or is your accent more similar to the Dublin accents? -just wondering

Yugoslav Nationalist well the Monaghan accent is more of a Mid Ulster accent. It's not like either Dublin or Belfast accent. But I will often get confused with people from from Derry or Donegal. Are you living in Ireland. Where are you from?

I have an Irish passport and I have never been to Ireland LOL

Iazzaboyce No it did not it was an stupied ballot created by morrons

"Everyone" in the UK doesnt seem to have a very good understanding of what these institutions are or what the EU ACTUALLY does

everyone knew it? must have been why the most searched thing on google the day after brexit was "what is the eu"

That’s why the people of the 6 counties voted REMAIN.

They don't need to be done at the border and there are trusted trader schemes we have with the rest of the world under WTO. Its a solvable problem with good will on both sides

@@ElectricInevitability Nonsense. Their are border checks between Sweden and Norway. If they cant do it without UK certainly cannot do that. Its fantasy.

All traffic was subject to inspection with customs posts across the area. This is not the same system which exists right now that ended the troubles in NI. It is most likely that Britain will build it out of necessity.

Britan no fucking shit

I could tell you voted remain. You managed to write a lot of words without a single grammatical or spelling mistake!

I seriously hope the british establishment come to their senses , but somehow i think they are too far down the rabbit hole to reverse now it would cause civil unrest. Brexit has been a mess from the day the votes were counted. Lets be honest very few people give a fuck about northern ireland in england and would soon get rid if they could , the sad thing is their stuck with the uk until the northern irish say otherwise. The chance of the uk breaking up will depend on how successful brexit is which is anyones guess , but if you look at who is to take charge of making brexit a success im not very confident to be honest. Which of these politicians would you like to take charge because we know may and corbyn are inept to say the least. So we have the following candidates boris jrm gove fox abbott mcdonnell thornberry and i thought we had it bad in ireland. One thing i do know is no one else knows for sure what will happen after brexit and if they tell you they do they are lieing. To the normal working class and lower class of these two islands brace yourselves and get ready as things might get rough for us , hopefully not we wait and see.

So what becomes of the nonsense of voting for Brexit in order 'to get control of the UK border'? The fact is that after this madness there will be even less control over the UK border than there was before.

Snobbishness that someone can write English correctly?

Geroff Milan well fuckoff then good riddance to bad rubbish

Yes, but Norway is part of a few deals like Schengen (?), England wants to leave completely.

Neither the Swiss nor the Norwegians take issue with border checkpoints, or had a civil war over them.

Matthew McNerlin it sure has speed up the border poll but like brexit and trump you can't really know who is gonna win till the votes have been counted but as far as the time saves by brexit for a border poll honestly 5-30 years saved

You clearly havnt looked at the last MPs elected the DUP now have more MPs than ever before in history and out number the rest. With the treatment dished out regarding Northern Ireland by the EU we now have even less wishes to leave the UK. So dream on regarding your out dated United Ireland. Republicans divided this island when they toke the Irish Republic out of the Uk now learn to live with your flawed move.

ernest rogen ''With the treatment dished out regarding Northern Ireland by the EU we now have even less wishes to leave the UK.'' You mean looking out for you and trying to make sure youre not just a neglected region of the UK in a post brexit wasteland. Cop on, NI is one of the poorest parts of Northern Europe, your loyalty is misguided.

tubemark1 The UK doesn't do nationalism, unless it British-English nationalism.

Its also Anti-UK, unless you are English so whats your point?

It is mental to put up cameras on a border in "nowhere". I am 100% sure that camera smashing will become the new sport after "glassing". If you dont know what glassing is, feel free to look it up. By the current "mood" it would not hold up for a week.

Joe Francis Take you back? They're going nowhere so I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about it.

Why does northern ireland have to stay in the customs union

Do you think most people really want northern ireland

I do hope that succeeds.

Rule Britannia!

Probably not

No it wont.

You’d think if it wasn’t an issue then it wouldn’t be an issue for politicians either 🤔

Put a wall up.... not really a problem is it

@@tonysmith5812 that would create more problems

Ha Catholic or Protestant

You're a moron

Who are you talking about? You clearly know little or nothing about NI and its history

There were guarantees that it would keep control over military neutrality , corporation taxes, social issues such as abortion but not specifically that (the abortion guarantee was not that abortion would be kept but merely that only Ireland could decide on the issue), workers rights and it also got to keep it's full time seat in the EU commission (big win). Ireland has a rapid reaction military unit but is only involved with UN missions. It is not available for anything other than that. Ireland has a long history of involvement in UN deployments predating Lisbon. As for armed police on the streets, we had that before the treaty but that's nothing got to do with Lisbon treaty anyway as that is a police force not an army. There are very few armed police and they are part of the ERU (emergency response unit). You will almost never see an armed police officer on the street. Abortion has now been allowed for by a recent referendum (it's not in law yet so it will be next year before any abortions will actually happen) but in any case the fact is that it was decided by the people of Ireland basically proves the point i.e. the guarantees that were sought have just been played out in one instance.

Well said ahlads. I'm sure Mr Holmes may not agree, but he's not the biggest fan of the facts I'd imagine.

Maybe we should just build a wall along the irish border. I would happily pay extra tax for that

Tony Smith you’re so helpful with this peace process

Tony Smith let's have a full on war Mate. I want to remind you arseholes that sing "No surrender to the IRA" that you did already twice. More British arrogance. I'm "all in" as your troops say due to a North London Jew who joined Now 102.2 radio in Edmonton 2011 who ran a unique promotion. A potato to a sick kids hospital for a chance to win U2 tickets. U2 boycotted Alberta. I will personally go to a full on war with ye due to your Canadian Jew racist friends like Ezra Levant who influenced Brexit by 8%. And Disreali his actions cut the deepest. Famine not Genocide so fancy taking on 25 European countries? The world hates you Britain it's time to let that sink in.

Conversely if it turns out to be a complete shit show will Leavers admit the same ?

Carrickboy of course they would

J B they won't sadly they will just pretend they were pro brexit because humans in politics have a massive problem admitting they are wrong

J B Lol brexit hasn t even appened yet and leavers are already calling the eu a bully because things aren t going as they have planned... Leavers will just blame the eu when brexit will be a complete shit show

So Scotland has a second referendum and gains it's independence from the UK. Then agrees a new union with the Republic of Ireland, to form the Republic of Scotland and Ireland. Now Unionist can feel at home as Ulster Scots, and Republicans can feel at home too. And the problem of Northern Ireland is solved forever. Nobel Peace Prizes for everyone, with a celebratory dinner of haggis and potatoes.

lol - if only

Bio Meta Scotland may go independent but it will never be a republic.

Anthony Mullen Maybe in time. Our main aim is independence..

Why?

You need to stop reading tabloids

Ireland exports more to Belgium these days than to the UK. US is main export market. www.worldstopexports.com/irelands-top-import-partners/

Who exactly is going to make them, where were you during The Troubles? if you're so committed how about you take some responsibility yourself instead of shouting words.

Lug Lamfhada Northern Ireland will still be a separate entity, and the UK will still have a role in NI so not much would change.

@Lug Lamhfhada irish out of britain seriously from the days of the oneals you fuckers are everywhere here, irish out of britain except the good looking woman.

Steve Wiles; At the moment it's cheaper to use the land bridge. Along with that there's less risk of delays due to storms by using the land bridge. That's why so many use Larne in the north rather than the longer sea routes further south. The 20 hour sailing from Rosslare to Chergbourg or the even longer Cork to Roscoff/Cherbourg routes are very risky in winter. New services are openimg up but it's not ideal.

What does too Irish mean?

@@TheKingkeano It's a phrase used by lowly state educated anti Irish bigots in Engerland to attempt to highlight their "supposed" superior intellect. it only confirms that state education in britain is drastically underfunded & people like the example above, should really have to pass an exam before being permitted to vote. Seriously, his dog probably is required to get a licence for him.
