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
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
More resources there
Meaning a more attractive way, would be to travel to the ROI
Where there are no checks currently
That is pure speculation on your part
Though, it will be more expensive
Go look at boat trips across the channel and from France to ROI
fact is, there already is hard border between FR and GB and illegals still choose it over ROI and NI
I’ll tell you this now. The ROI one is more expensive.
