Irish Border post Brexit

[Hindsight]

Wouldn't fancy taking a loaded triaxle tanker over that bridge!

 

[Two Tone]

Speaking of border controls between UK and EU in a no deal scenario.
What’s the Brexiteer plan for traffic coming across the channel to the various ports?
Will there be checks? Been reading about checks in Dover for example. Twenty mile convoys crawling up the M20 for example. Lorry parks for example. Cheese munching frogs, not able to get their wine and cheese in without checks and tariffs for example. Greasy Italians having 60 million bottles of Presecco checked and taxed for example. And Jerry .... trucks of car parts .... oh, gotta check those ... thoroughly ..... back of the car park there Fritz ..... get to you in a few days .... be patient ..

Meanwhile back in Ireland, Paddy South is swarming over the border on main roads, bye roads, approved roads, unapproved roads, fields, etc, loaded down with beef, lamb, cheddar, whiskey, Guinness, more beef, more Guinness, milk, more Guinness, more Jameson, more beef ...........
and Paddy North looks on approvingly ...

Have you just woken up Ashy?
Obviously, you had a good night down the boozer on Friday night and by the sound of it, last night too. No doubt your hang-overs are writing your posts for you.

Wake up and smell the coffee!

Quite. I do apologise to all you Irish posters on this thread - I sort of butted in with a semi sensible question but as is the case an infantile reference to a gun. Am intrigued by this border question as listening to the Austrian minister on Andrew Marr this morning it seems the EU is hanging a largish hat on the Good Friday Agreement and this border issue. Hey ho. As say apologies is I offend - not intended.

I doubt the Irish are offended. And neither am I for that matter!

I read an interesting article about swiss controls. They have 92 international crossing points. Nearly all checks take place away from the border. No H&Ks required.

If there's going to be a hard border, it's only because the EU wants it, isn't it?
Why should the UK be vilified for wanting to decide it's own future?

I had not looked at this thread recently and have not waded through all tbh. What is clear, however, the farming collective has not a solution any more than the MPs in Westminster. There is not an answer that will ever suit all. A total muddle and Tusk's outburst was not so wide of the mark.

I'll have to use that excuse when Labour gets elected.

Tusk can go screw himself .. who the hell does he represent ? Even the Polish got rid of him.

Tusk is behaving like a spoilt brat, because we have had the audacity to say we want out. If he was depending on re-election or was accountable to the electorate in any way he would be more cautious with his public outbursts. He is already behaving the way a dictator would, when disobeyed, only he still does not have absolute power, although this is what he and his cohorts are aiming for.

I quite agree about Tusk but his actual remark, whilst not diplomatic or professional, was not so far from wrong with Cameron et al not really viewing the consequences because they smuggly thought 'remain' would win.

Absolutely. The feigned outrage from the Brexiteer wallflowers is hilarious.

I voted remain but I accept the vote, why the leadership of the leave campaign all sliddered off I can not understand. What gets me it has no clear leadership even at present, negotiated a deal it couldn't sell,blamed the United eu for all its problems when actually it was a civil war among a minority tory government. Just get on with it. Oh yes and raabs a czzt

Why do you feel the need to go down the route of insulting and frankly racist language? Do you know, through all this the only people I’ve seen using this language have been remain voters. I’ve not yet seen a leave voter refer to “greasy Italians” or “cheese munching frogs” or anything close so to that. It paints you in a particularly poor light.

Ah ha, you haven’t been paying attention, have you.
Guess who I was quoting? Which Brexiteer leader uttered those words in public?

So you feel it acceptable to repeat? I try and keep up with peoples views and opinions from the farming community on this subject and I stand by my comment that the abuse thrown, the improper language unfortunately largely comes from the remain voting side on this forum.

At least it's a change from his usual 'fudge business, BRINO, mujahadeen, moggites, 18th century' comments that he likes to use.

perhaps he can take on granddads job

So many wallflowers .... and it’s still only February.
Can you just imaging how many will be around after TM delivers BRINO to the Mujahadeen, the Moggites and the 18th century corpses.

If finding the use of racist language, either directly or through flippancy, makes someone a wallflower then so be it. It speaks volumes about those who use it.
