How about we do a merger with the Republic of Ireland?

[WTFH]

So a lot of people in Ireland read English newspapers? Must like what they are reading, else why would they go to the trouble?

All the more reason then for Ireland to leave the EU, and join a union with us.

That displays an attitude to dissent that the EU would be proud of.

The EU hasn't been around for 200 years. But for the time it has been around it has been sufficiently awful to result in the brexiteers retaining the same consistent oppositional view of it.

Come on then Einstein, how is the EU "sufficiently awful"? Give us some hard facts, not wishy washy soundbites from the side of a bus. Oh, and these 'awfulness' facts need to be rules and policies that the UK didn't have a hand in as I'm assuming you're saying rules that we have to follow under diktat (here's a clue for you, we ARE the EU rule setting body, as much as Germany or France, and with our veto every rule currently in the EU has been approved by our government).

The idiocy gene is strong with this one

Was the Easter uprising 200 years ago? Did you learn maths in an English school?

Germany is doing everything, still after 70 years, to break with their NAZI past, non stop apologizing for it. I don't hear the UK apologizing for 100s of years colonialism and be the root cause of many wars, until today because of artificial borders drawn in Asia and Africa by the colonial office.

All EU countries entered the EU voluntarily, not by force and they can leave when they want (without having their cake and eating it)

Before you start getting all sanctimonious, would you care to explain away the colonial aspirations of the Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans and the Welsh!

The whataboutery is strong in this one.

What have the Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans and the Welsh got to do with the Irish Border Problem?

You missed out the colonial ambitions of the ROMANS (Italians). What did the Romans ever do for us?
