a big beautiful wall

The only way to stop that is through a hard border

Weez, the point is making is that the UK can accept freedom of movement with Ireland and northern Ireland but nowhere else as we wont need to abide by EU regulations anymore. It'd then be down to the EU to grant the same freedom of movement to NI citizens to Ireland.

Which breaks the Good Friday agreement

If they refuse, it also puts the EU in a bad light <:smugon:512048583806025739>

What stops people from doing that RIGHT NOW?

Nothing

We’re in the EU.

EU is literally using the "we're gonna be dicks for the sake of leverage" argument

you know, the people who are not EU citizens and therefore can't just go across the channel..

@Mikey The EU has already said they’re not going to start ‘chopping’ things up

the ones that are sneaking into trucks in france

Or breaking their fundamental agreements

why don't THEY just go through Ireland and NI

?

if it's so easy

Because there’s no need at the moment

There’s an easier route..

People take the easiest route possible

Then there's no issue with the Irish border.

If we leave. That becomes if.

That's sorted.

It *

You mean the route that has hard border?

and border checks?

Yes, they allow all EU citizens through that border,

but not others

The ROI and NI border?

Or the ROI border with the EU?

No, the border between France and GB

that's the one with border checks

Correct.

yet that's the route many illegals take

instead of going through ROI and NI

Because it’s the easiest.

Correct.

So, how will that change when UK exits?

Why should then suddenly be the route through ROI and NI the easier one

?

Because the EU will place more checks at that GB FR border
