...and considering the building up of the anti Irish sentiment (trying to blame Ireland for no deal) who knows what'll come next for the many many irish citizens who live here....I wouldn't put anything past these lunatics
Bit dramatic Fernando. By all accounts he is at least trying to put forward an alternative solution that might get through parliament (however much the EU might not like it their/Mays deal has been reject three times so it needs to change !). I don’t believe the primary intention is just to shift the blame, although I do believe this is on both the EU and the governments minds.
I know it’s our decision to leave but this is a negotiation, why don’t the EU put forward an alternative that might work for them and get through parliament ?
The fact is that a No Deal is going to lead to far worse than the issues raised by the current proposal (Johnson’s new plan) for NI/Ireland so why keep searching for the perfect solution when the alternative is a shitstorm ?! This oh but this might happen, that might happen...FFS...all I know is in a No Deal it WILL happen so surely it’s about to start trying to find a solution rather than just saying ‘No, try again’ to pretty much everything.
The more I read and hear about the current mess in NI (non Brexit related) the more I think even without Brexit there’s trouble ahead. How the fuck can a parliament/assembly not sit for 2.5 years ????? Poor old Boris got a slatting for 2.5 weeks ; )
Ps and when I talk about a imperfect solution, Im saying we already live in an imperfect world. ‘What about smugglers ?’ So that doesn’t happen already...it’s what the police/customs teams are for ? ‘What about illegal migration’ - has anyone not heard and read about people trafficking and what’s happening across the channel ? The hard border is a major issue and threatens the peace process, the other issues could/should be manageable with some will and investment.
