You seem to suggest that the EU asked for a "divorce" rather than the UK... Are you suggesting that, for example, when a wife demands a divorce, the husband cannot create problems over the divorce agreement? If so, you have clearly never been involved in a divorce. The EU did not want the UK to leave, so it is in their interests to create as many problems as possible, either to get the UK to change its mind, or as a negotiating tactic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU isn’t creating a problem. Brexit causes the Irish situation to become a problem, and that was clear before Brexit (unless you were a Brexiter living in lala land). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailwagsdog Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Simple solution trucks need to stop and be checked by tax & customs when crossing the border, people cross freely, however if you catch a plane or ferry to the rest of UK you must pass through border check with govt issued photo id ( drivers licence, passport etc). I can't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 21 hours ago, flossie35 said: The EU have made it clear from the start that there can be no customs border between Ireland and the UK. There are lots of very good reasons for this. The backstop is a bit of dodgy camouflage invented by the UK side, pretending that some technology will be discovered to make a border unnecessary. This is highly improbable. The backstop cannot have a terminal date because otherwise on reaching that date, in the absence of the fictitious technology, you'd need to set up a border. It has been clear from the outset that the only solution to this problem is for us to remain in the single market. (Or have a customs border down the Irish Sea; but that won't work either.) So if the UK says there will be a border what will the EU do? Throw the UK out of the EU? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resign now, you have done enough damage already before you give in again.

Winston Churchill stood up in Zurich on the September 19, 1946, and called for a 'United States of Europe' and he was called 'The Father of Europe' because of that speech. What a bleeding mess our politicians have made of it all now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ex members have committed to peaceful reunification... And one very important component, possibly the most important one, of the Good Friday agreement was a completely open border. I do not think that the Irish, no matter which side of the border they live on, will accept it any other way. I predicted, long ago that this border issue would be the main stumbling block on the road to Brexit and it certainly seems to be coming true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish government have been trying to resolve the issues caused by brexit from day 1. The tories, true to form, did nothing until it was too late. And even then, their actions were ineffective and failed to adequately address the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat ji Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) You mean there should be a referendum to see whether they want Northern Ireland to continue as a British colonial possession or not? That's what the name "United Kingdom" [instead of "Britain & Northern Ireland"] is - a contrivance to obfuscate.

Not according to the latest opinion polling, they don't. A poll conducted in Northern Ireland in September 2018, showed "52% of those surveyed backed a united Ireland with 39% showing support for Northern Ireland staying in the UK." The results are thought to be heavily influenced by the desire of the majority of people in Northern Ireland to remain in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 And an earlier poll back last year (when a no-deal Brexit with a hard customs border no doubt seemed a less likely prospect) showed a lower percentage but still a majority in favour of reunification. See below. Quote Polling of Northern Ireland residents by LucidTalk in December 2017 found that - in the event of a so-called hard Brexit with no deal on the border, the Good Friday agreement or citizens’ rights - support for remaining in the EU through reunification with the Republic was marginally greater (48%) than support for staying in the UK (45%).
