    Ireland by comparison.

    Organised Gang Warfare with guns
    Massive homeless problem
    Health service on its knees
    Working class wage collapse
    Retirement age the highest in Europe
    Hellish retirement homes
    Massive welfare bill for non working immigrants
    Areas becoming no go due to immigrants
    Road deaths due to speeding still way too high
    Policing is a joke
    Elderly people dying in dirty hospitals
    Massive cruelty to animals allowed carry on by a section of our society
    Rural home invasions by the same section of our society
    Young people still forced to leave this country

    Political correctness rammed down our necks 24/7
    Anybody who disagrees branded a Nazi

    Yes the Prime Minister of another country being a bit of a plonker really is causing me sleepless nights.:D

    Cannot disagree with a lot of that and you have even left out some big ones:eek:

    I hate to be that guy but it’s borders. Not boarders.

    Always strange to me anyone railing against open borders always seems to make that spelling mistake.

    Anyways. Even within the Eu open borders are a myth.
    Your passport will be checked in Berlin or Dublin or Paris no matter what.
    It’s kind of a red herring that people are freaking out over it when it’s actually baseless

    ?

    Passports aren’t in fact checked throughout the schengen zone.

    In any case it’s not passport checks that are pertinent, it’s the rights to work or live in any EU countries coming from any other EU country.

    Sorry for the late reply but couldn't let this go unanswered.

    The EU was never a peace arrangement, the EU was simple way of Germany to control Europe after 2 failed wars, they managed to succeed by economic means instead of a 3rd war. Countries like France you have very short memories and sold their countries for a pot of gold just like Ireland. The EU is nothing more than an extension of Germany and should be viewed for what is truly is which are member states of the German Empire.

    Now the good news, once the UK leave the EU and establish trade deals with the US and together with the US start to undermine and already weakening EU the other member states will start to realise there is life after German rule and start there own referendums and start the process of leaving also. The EU is already an economic crash just waiting to happen. That is why top economists from around the world and outside the EU are recommending to stay away from the EU markets, they are tipping a recession within the next 3 to 5 years and the complete crash of the EU within 10 to 20 years. Italy is just about there and after brexit the EU will start the slide into oblivion.

    Now luckily for some of the posters here and Leo fan club members the great German empire will once again be happy to accept Ireland's soul for another pot of gold right after we agree to take ship loads of immigrants that the German public no longer want in their country.

    Honestly can't believe what this country has become of late with all the PC crap and the EU fan club. How is living under German rule any different than living under British rule, i mean really what did our previous generations fight for exactly?

    Impeachment investigation of trump has just today been announced.
    Pelosi said there’ll be no US UK trade deal if it’s a no deal brexit that threatens th GFA.
    All trade deals have to be approved by the house before they can even start.
    So the us uk ain’t happening if it’s no deal brexit.
    But you keep living in your bubble. The real world and the facts maybe don’t suit your head canon you should probably have a look outside.
    Even once and again

    How is living under “German rule” different from living under British rule? We’re richer, not starving, not subject to penal laws, not getting shot at in peaceful demonstrations. I could go on.

    As for PC ideologies, look west for the reason they have permeated Irish society not to Europe.

    You’ve been checked where? Walking around? Taking a train from Brussels? Crossing the Italian border from France?

    Ireland is not in the schengen zone if that’s what confusing you.

    And do you really think other people from Ireland weren’t checked.

    Ireland isn't in Schengen so will be checked if you're entering from Ireland.

    You don't get checked when travelling between 2 Schengen countries, even if you're Irish, are you saying you were checked doing this?

    Always Dublin to ______

    Well then you'd be checked as you're entering a Schengen country from a non-Schengen one.

    Schengen countries are the following with no passport controls when you pass from one to the other: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland

    You realise a trade deal has to go through the US House of Congress? Pelosi stated that any action that damages peace in Ireland will result in no trade deal.

    Are you insane? Why would you be making stuff up just to prove a point? The UK is the US 7th largest trading partner with $127 billion going between the 2.

    Yes. Within the framework of being an Eu member currently.
    If they do actually leave that all changes.
    Pelosi said there’ll be no deal allowed by the house and even if they manage to the US is going to carve up the uk especially the NHS
    https://www.cato.org/publications/white-paper/ideal-us-uk-free-trade-agreement-free-traders-perspective



    ‘As for other services areas, health services are an area where both sides would benefit from openness to foreign competition, although we recognize any changes to existing regulations will be extremely controversial. Perhaps, then, for other areas the initial focus should be on other fields such as education or legal services, where negotiators can test the waters and see what is possible. That said, we would envisage a swift, time-tabled implementation of recognition across all areas within 5 years."

    So ireland is under a different set of rules for travel than Europe?

    But I thought the EU were dictators and put all kinds of crazy rules on us?

    Seems the rule about travel should be top of that list no?

    Being 7th of course often means that it’s a tiny fraction of the first two or three. These things tend to be a power distribution.


    Trade with the U.K. 1/6 of China alone.

    It’s far better to measure percentages of total trade. The U.K. is about 3% of the US total trade of ~$3.8T

    The European Union is about $770B, although that includes the U.K. at the moment.

    And this is facilitated under the US EU trade deal, which won't exist in 3 months for Britain and may well take years to renegotiate.

    You can also guarantee the EU will have a hand in some protectionist clauses in whatever deal the US and UK come up with.

    The UK has a service and high tech manufacturing based economy. Their only markets are industrialised countries.

    No point talking about 168 non EU countries.
    What the f"ck is Mauritius or the Seychelles going to do with UK exports? (These are 2 of the only 7 countries the UK has managed to sign trade deals with BTW)

    That huge statue in New York is a statue of liberty, not freedom.

    Very much like communism, there's no such thing as freedom especially in the liberal sense.

And lastly we will be starving and unemployed after the EU crashes because we burned the UK with our holy than now attitude.

    All of those issues are local failures precisely because the Germans aren’t ruling us. They run their own country well enough. Better healthcare. Fewer gangs. Better judiciary. Maybe they should run the place.

    As for starving you may want to investigate which country is in food deficit and it’s not ireland. We import british food only because of the british super market supply chain which is (unlike the German super market chains here) bring in their processed food from the UK. M&S for instance entirely sources it’s packaged food from the U.K.

    They will have to adapt as the Germans have by sourcing here. Meanwhile Ireland still has a huge market for its food in the EU.

    If Britain has a trade war on food it will starve.

    Funny enough I tend to dislike parts of the EU, including the half hearted attempt at the Euro but this kind of nonsense needs debunking.

    It will be Boris falling from a great height for contradicting everything he said that got him here.


    Old Irish proverb.

    Busllh!t will get you to the top. But it won’t keep you there.
    The reality of Irish politics from the 60’s does not back that up ;)

    I'm sure on D Day a lot of people in the UK and USA were thinking, wtf have we done. We've loss thousands upon thousands of lives, what a complete F C K U P!
    But history looks back on it as a necessary catastrophe that led to the tide turning in World War 2, and in the end it brought freedom.
    A No Deal will be tough, but give it a few years and they'll look back on it with pride, and they'll praise all those who had to suffer so that they could find their freedom from the EU. What ever hardship a No Deal brings, it will be worth it in years to come.
    Boris will look like an idiot on OCT 31st if he takes them out, but history will look back on him kindly, and label him a hero for being brave enough to do it.

    You’re clearly some bored bastard somewhere who doesn’t hand a clue but needs to be heard to make up for whatever you’re missing in life.

    But if not you could at least get the facts right. Not like you have anything else to do.

    No Boris and Sammy Wilson, we have a legally binding backstop.

    We don't need to posture only advise what would happen if the great British empire engaged in perfidious albion.

    You don’t have a legally binding backstop if the British do not sign up to it which they won't;):P
