No - it's a fact.
When the Irish contractor on my team joked with me about wanting his fee raised by a potato a day - that was racist.

Honest Boris will burrow a tunnel, and thus avoid any border checks.
General Elections will remain suspended until that happens.

I think it's increasingly looking like that could happen although a heck of a lot of people will be very annoyed. I bet someone's run the numbers somewhere. I do hope we don't end up with The Troubles II.Originally posted by cojak View PostA unified Ireland would go a long way to sorting this.
Then it would be the EU’s problem. Surely the Little Englanders would be happy with that, they set the ball rolling after all.

The rabid brexiters like Vetran don't care about NI, or wales, or Scotland ... they only care about little England. In their heads the UK is only England and everyone else can go fook themselves. They're a simple lotOriginally posted by DealorNoDeal View Post
That's what NI have ended up with.

So why do Brexit in the most Moronic form (no customs union)?
Why stay in a customs union controlled by the EU when it was clear in the voters mind an the question the vote was to leave the EU.
The question was LEAVE or Remain not half in and half out controlled by Europe i.e. a customs union.
The lies about no Army and no federal destination have been exposed now.
Goodness you remainers are a bit simple.

What a shocker Irish politics is very volatile and all sides of Ireland will pick a fight wherever possible, this is self rule where the parties can't even sit in one room for years.Originally posted by Whorty View Post
The Tories were warned this would happen. It was lumped in with Project Fear. But again, it plays into the hands of the Tories as this is another 'enemy' that their rabid xenophobic supporters can hate.
What a shocker. The only reason they came to the table in the first place was the US cut off the money.
