New Diktat from Brussels

Something like 80% or The Republic of Ireland’s exports are transported through the UK&NI.

TBH I really DNGAF. You wanna listen to it; google it.

The bloke was part of the GFA, was an interesting listen.

You're a Brexiteer, of course you DNGAF about reality!

80% via UK refers to Ireland's road freight exports to mainland Europe, not to Ireland's exports.

I highly recommend Chilean, Argentinian, South African and Australian wine.

So if the EU demands a unified Ireland we get to charge them tariffs on freight that is transferred through England?

Fair enough, was driving through snow at the time.

I guess a hard border is gonna be a real pisser for all that road freight.

Correct.

OK, so if this is material in transit, and therefore in customs-sealed truck containers that aren't going to stop in the UK, what exactly is the problem?

The main problem I have with the Remain argument is the childish assumption that big steel fences are going to go up between the UK and everywhere in Europe. Business with Europe won't stop, but it will change in some as yet undetermined manner.

Sits back and waits for the next rebuttal of common sense...

That's no way to talk about Darmy's posts!

don't confuse them with facts!

Before we move on, can you see how you got yourself in a muddle about reality?

Linky for the big steel fences?

Yes, I would like to give you a dose of common sense. We are less than 13 months away from Brexit, and everything from the Brexit camp is "in some as yet undetermined manner"
Common sense would be that the manner needs to be determined, should have been determined already, but hasn't.

Common sense is severely lacking in the Brexit camp, when even asked a simple question of "what do you want?", the response is "ignore that, let's find something we can complain about remain supporters"
