We should have followed EU standard practice i.e. beat dissenters senseless as seen in Catalan & Paris. Imagine talking to our opponents when we can have punishment beatings!

So that’s your best justification for breaking the Treaty that was just signed?
One of the reasons we involved the EU in any way is that they are unwilling to either have a hard border between Ireland and the EU (hint there is a sea between so just treating southern Ireland slightly different would be easy) or between Ireland (N&S).

They can buy food from EU.
What’s preventing getting it as easy from GB is Boris and Co who insisted on their version of deal that introduced frictions in trade.Comment

The reason the UK (and Ireland and Northern Ireland) doesn't want a hard border N&S is because the Northern Ireland Protocol, which came out of the Good Friday agreement, included that there must be a practically invisible border between NI and Ireland. Changing the Good Friday agreement in anyway without the agreement of the signatories would be a very bad idea.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
