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

So tell me what was so awful for you that you have to leave it?

You mean aside from it being full of brainless twunts like you?

[darmstadt]

Ok, in answer to your question.

In 2 parts if I may.

1) The Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans are all members of the oppressive EU that have rejected all proposals made to resolve the Irish border problems.

No they haven't. Who voted to leave the EU and cause themselves to be a third country? In theory the EU can state that due to the ignorance of the British voter in regards to the question of the Irish border, there should be a hard border as there is with other third countries. What the EU are doing is protecting the central tenets of the EU but at the same time trying to appease the people who are leaving yet still want to stay in some parts of the EU. The EU have put forward a number of proposals, which are in this thread, yet because the UK don't seem to be able to understand that the EU has to adhere by it's own rules, it's called being oppressed by the EU by people who are unable to understand that they voted out, and out means out meaning that there should be a hard border.

[WTFH]

I am not party to the negotiations, neither are you.

If any of the proposals had been accepted we would know about it.

So do you know for certain any other proposals have been put forward by the UK as part of the negotiations?

[Zigenare]

Which proposals were these?

There's been a proposal for a technical solution that doesn't exist, isn't in development, hasn't even had a spec written for it.

What are all the others?

you won get over it

Over what?

1) The Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans are all members of the oppressive EU that have rejected all proposals made to resolve the Irish border problems.
2) The Welsh are likely to be the ones who will suffer the most due to two of the major gateways to Ireland being situated in Wales.

Which was a direct response to OPM's claims about Germany (i.e. OPM didn't have a straight answer to a question about Ireland, so he changed the topic to Germany, in the same way that you don't like answering difficult questions so you like to change the topic by giving partial quotes out of context, etc.)

OPM brought up Germany. Eirikur pointed out his error.

So, please answer my question: What have the Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Germans and the Welsh got to do with the Irish Border Problem?
Since you decided to bring other nations into it.

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

Romans weren't Italians, they were ROMANS!

Not to be confused with SPARTANS!

[Zigenare]

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?

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.

Please read the above.

[Zigenare]

They did think about it. They were even offered help to invade Ireland by a minor Irish King.

I think we've had this discussion. The point being that not even the Romans could be bothered with a piss-ant little country that didn't even have Moles - or snakes!

[Yorkie62]

They didn't invade Ireland

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!

WHere are the Russian, Danish and Belgians in your list?
