Ireland to enforce a hard border

[WTFH]

I questioned the use of "efficient". "Seamless" would have been more appropriate, I'll dig out my thesaurus if you'd prefer something else. I don't associate the EU or any off its offspring as being "efficient". Anything but, in fact.

OK, so you want to answer a different question, cause you didn't like the other one.

From the point of view of trade within a group of countries, the EU system is very efficient.

How is it not efficient in barrier-free trade between the different member states?

Dig out whatever you need to provide a coherent argument as to why having no barriers is inefficient for markets.

I answered (or questioned, if you want to be pedantic) the original question. You didn't like my answer, so you attributed it to a different question.

And I draw parallels with that and Brexit - we are continually being told it will not work, it is a bad idea and generally we need to stay in the EU because it is what we have always done it and it has 'worked'

There is no parallel between agile and Brexit. Agile has been proved for donkeys years (I was using it in the early 80s). Brexit has never had any single shred of evidence to suggest it is nothing but total nonsense which is going to throw a planet-sized spanner into the works.

The single market is the most efficient barrier-free market we will ever be a part of.

Name a more efficient barrier-free market currently in existence across multiple countries, since you say you were questioning the original point.

You don't have to like the EU, but in what way do you consider the single market in goods and services to not be efficient?

Or, to question your own statement, in what way do you distinguish between "efficient" (a word you don't agree with) and "seamless" (the word you prefer)?

Change the question, why don't you...

Bigger picture.

The point is not about agile that was the example.

The point was about people being resistant to change especially when the change scares them

As it did all the old traditional it guys at our place.

If you have done something 1 way for twenty years and someone comes in and says we can do it quicker and better you will fight against that tooth and nail.

Efficient? Not the word I'd have chosen.

Not changed at all.
You said you wouldn't use the word efficient, so I asked you to name one that was more efficient and now you Wail that I'm changing the question

So would you support a North Korean takeover of the UK, or would you be resistant to that change?
