Surely This Has To Stop?

Enough is enough, they contribute nothing, in fact are detrimental to society.

Still hopefully when we leave the EU at least these free loading pond lives should be kept out.

Y M Bog "when we leave the EU" ??????? we aint never ever ever gonna leave Completely, just get used to it now, then it will not be a shock to you later. There will still be " FREE unrestricted movement of people and goods between UK and Ireland," even if a full Brexit was possible which aint gonna happen, enjoy!.

[EDDIE51]

Northern Ireland is insisting that permanent totally free movement of people and goods between North and Southern Ireland is a fundamental requirement of any agreement on Brexit.
Remember due to Mrs Mays B*lls up they now need the DUP to remain in power!
The DUP are also adamant that there can be no border restriction after Brexit!

[DTCwordfan]

Easy to achieve - just as all have to do at the moment is to present identity to get on a plane or boat - swimmers can go free and good luck...so a frontier between Belfast et al and the UK is more than achievable, hopefully one reading to be taken at the exit port.....

Eddie well said.....YMB again shows he doesn't really understand the NI situation at all.

[EDDIE51]

DTC the entire point is that the Northern Ireland administration , the Government of the Irish republic and the DUP are insisting that there can be NO restriction or border of any type between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland. Total freedom or they block the entire deal!

[Togo]

The "free movement" of people between NI and Eire is not the same as free movement between Ireland and mainland Britain. Just saying:))

What does a JW use for birth control?

His or Her replicated personality.

What's the difference between a JW spouting and replicating and an accountant? The accountant knows he or she is boring.

[DTCwordfan]

sorry wrong thread...

However, what I am advocating is between Northern Ireland and the mainland UK

[DTCwordfan]

this assumes that there is freedom of market and customs control - why would we or the EEC want to shoot us/them in the foot over trade?....

[EDDIE51]

Northern Ireland will NOT accept ANY restriction of it's citizens rights to travel without restriction / checks to the rest of the UK. They are as much a part of the UK as Wales , Scotland or Essex is!

[New Judge]

“Northern Ireland is insisting that permanent totally free movement of people and goods between North and Southern Ireland is a fundamental requirement of any agreement on Brexit.”

That’s what we have now, Eddie (and have had since 1923, long, long before the EU came into existence). That’s what will be maintained after Brexit. Why do you see it as a problem? Are you suggesting that the EU will prevent Ireland from continuing with such an arrangement? If so why should they?

Release the hounds!

[Togo]

Ohh Eddie I am not advocating anything as "ham fisted" as rigid controls between the two Islands. We just adopt the French modus operandum. You know let travel flow from Britain to Ireland with no concern, but, disguised as incompetence or disdain, covertly instigate rigorous checks on all traffic from Ireland to Britain and to hell with the complaints that it takes too long. It is called the European way of doing things, you will no doubt approve.

[EDDIE51]

NJ I am very well aware of that , it is not me that is suggesting that there should be a border, I am just pointing out the facts. That neither Northern Ireland or the Republic will allow a change in the present situation!

[EDDIE51]

Togo, your suggestion is unworkable, illegal and impossible, it can never happen!

[New Judge]

"...it is not me that is suggesting that there should be a border,"

So who is then?

"...neither Northern Ireland or the Republic will allow a change in the present situation!

The Republic has no say in the matter. The UK decides how its borders are policed.

Anyway back to the original OP "subject". Would anyone like to predict how long it may be before the next Hospital has an encampment of visitors if they admit a "traveller" for treatment. Hell man they will be queuing up to occupy precious beds, to allow whole communities to avail themselves of the NHS grounds and facilities, whilst also occupying the moral high ground kindly piled up for them by the PC brigades embedded within our Hospital administration.

[ToraToraTora]

I see the anti British are still longing for their foreign corrupt collaborator buddies again. Just ssip ffo to the EU if that is what you love.

[Togo]

//Togo, your suggestion is unworkable, illegal and impossible, it can never happen!//

Who says so? It works for the French in all matters that concern British goods or travellers, why are we not to use the same tactics? It would be so easy, as long as it is not "official" policy we just take the criticism and benignly smile. See how European I am prepared to be. (^_*)

[douglas9401]

More brigades? Where will it end?
