It's actually makes sense economically
And since that's all the remainers care about... They should tell them to do it
Oh, I couldn't give a shit about Ireland, but it's just as reasonable as them expecting to steal Northern Ireland
It's politics again
It has no reality behind it
@Joshu If I may add, just throw your kids in Pakistan and they'd be realist soon enough. Or let em spend a day in an Iranian prison like those dumb Aussies
There are two ways to keep no border between NI and I
And one has been ruled out by the British public
Yes, and with good reason, Joshu
So
Boris's compromise was entirely reasonable given the circumstances
They have one option, leave the EU. Or they could refuse to apply border checks of course
UK had already said they'd refuse to apply border checks in the event of a no deal
Yup
EU's response was "REEEEEE!"
In that case the RI would be the ones in breach of the GFA
Because their objection to Boris's compromise is political, not practical
They don't want NI having an advantageous trading position, and they don't want NI themselves being able to decide whether to end the arrangement
These being both antithetical to EU principles of authoritarian centralised control
Did you see the recent tariff changes for after no deal?
Yes
Personally I disagree with that
But I understand why they did it
It's swings the UKs dick in the right direction at this juncture
Things like foods
Means the EU likely arnt the cheapest anymore
I don't think you'll find a non-authoritarian solution to the climate issues without selectively leveraging import tariffs
And I don't think they'll have enough tax money to maintain the state as it stands
Cars, the USA just got a 10-16% import tax cut for sending cars here
USA won't be sending cars here any time soon
Which may disrupt the German car industry
USA cars are not UK spec
Wheel on wrong side
Not just cars
Parts too
Parts come from China in both cases
I work with the automotive ind
A surprising amount doesn't
China is getting expensive
Everything electrical is
