New Alternative News Channel "GB News" chaired by Andrew Neil launching - read OP before posting

I'm a teacher in a secondary school and I have no idea what mission creep you are referring to.

I do know education and school life is magnitudes better than I experienced in the 80s. Society has got significantly better and fairer throughout my lifetime.

As for treating society as a "set of individuals" were you not claiming that Muslims were a bad fit for Ireland. How is that treating them as individuals. You were lumping them together as an undesirable homogeneous group. Certainly not individuals.

NI is still bound to EU rules for excise duties, as they are for VAT rules on goods (not services). Anything arriving from GB into NI is subject to these checks and processes.

With currency differences you have to exchange it as some point where it will be subject to usual money laundering checks and ROI is a little different from the rest of the EU when it comes to immigration by virtue the fact it's not a member of Schengen but we still maintain full freedom of movement within the Schengen area which a UK passport holder does not.

You cannot effectively control infectious diseases amongst livestock at a soft border, you cannot check for substandard or unsafe products at a soft border, you cannot check for mixed-origin or multi-drop shipments at a soft border, it becomes very difficult to track tariffs on product categories subject to weight or volume quotas at a soft border.

It is correct that the EU does not wish to erect a hard border because it remains committed to the GFA.

The UK (seemingly) also did not wish to erect a hard border on the island of Ireland because it too claims it is committed to the GFA.

However it is quite apparent that they are not happy for the border to be in the Irish Sea but they know that the border has to go somewhere (and make no mistake, they want a border with the EU - that was one of the underpinning reasons behind Brexit) and their endgame is to see it put on the island of Ireland, or more preferably (and certainly the preferred method in the case of Mr Farage) to be put around both the islands of Ireland and Great Britain by means of an Irexit.

Your thought experiment is a load of BS in fairness.

It's an utterly stupid question based on completely ludicrous figures and trying to give it a scientific name doesn't hide the fact that it is a load of crap.

Were you not a few pages back crying about people derailing the thread and vowing to stay on topic ?

That's not sourcing a poll tho. That's taking a sound bite extrapolated from a poll that I've not actually seen you link to.

The actual poll, with the polling data, model and statistical breakdown.

Nope, they aren't you know.

There are of course headline numbers included from the poll and even the name of the pollsters and the programme the poll was carried out for.

But no link to the poll or the actual polling data. If you are going to seek to rely on polling data to make a point? It is a point of good order and honest debate that you provide the data. Not 2nd hand reporting or cherry picking as you are wont to do.

Further reliance on a poll that's over 5yrs old isn't exactly lending any credence to your point.

But then why are you forever on about the amazing GBnews and Farage both of whom would be considered foreign influences to the "social attitudes our society has gained" here in Ireland.

You are very biased about which foreigners are allowed influence societies

That's great he happens to support the minority that you are. Fk all the rest of the minorities though.

But you dodged my point again. He is a foreigner and therefore you should not promote him here as his beliefs run contrary to the beliefs Ireland has as a society.

You are against foreign influence in Irish society so you should therefore be against people promoting Farage and his views in Ireland

I never compared him to a Somalian. I'm not the one does the wild comparisons around here Rashford hater.

Would these be prime examples of this adaptation you're talking about? How long is it going to take before we get this cultural utopia you aspire to.
