    [QUOTE=WTFH;2599558]It’s funny how people have talked about it on here for ages, but those who voted to Leave said it isn’t an issue, it’s not a problem, ignore it and it will go away, etc.

    QUOTE]

    The UK is extremely limited in what it can do about the Irish Border due to the Good Friday agreement which states that it must be an open boarder, i.e. as it is . If the EU want something else then it will have to impose it on the Southern Irish side.

      Are you saying that the four freedoms must remain?
      All those thousands of immigrants a week can just go via Ireland, taking all the jobs in the UK, taking all the benefits in the UK, etc etc.
      Nigel Farage must be turning in his grave. I notice he’s been very quiet on the Irish border situation - unlike him to be hiding.

        Which of course the EU will not agree to. An open border works in two directions you know. EU might be concerned about a flood of chlorinated chicken.

          No, no not a problem this can easily be solved by illegal immigrants registering per computer before they cross the border to enter the details of the job they want to steal.

              And now we’re back to the Leaver’s default argument:
              “We voted for something and we won. It’s now someone else’s fault and they have to come up with a solution to the problem we voted to create, because we are not prepared to suggest anything workable.”

                We all know that the only good reason to stay in the EU was the divorce difficulty. We are sore losers and are not all in this together. We will behave like petulant children.

                If only there were mods around to put them on the naughty step.

                  False. Plenty of very good reasons to stay in the EU.

                  I think you’ll find that’s the core of the Brexit argument for leaving the EU.

                      Or maybe ''safe space for remainers to have a meltdown''

                      Accepting democracy is so outdated
