[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 7437097, member: 3656"] I have never distinguished between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and being separate in anything other than name. I am a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or at least that's what my passport says. It would be a long list if I bothered to ask her, but the missus has had loads of potential orders stopped either at the point of purchase, before, or cancelled afterwards, due to the problems arising from the protocol. Clothes, shoes, plants, seeds, furniture, educational resources and so on... Couriers do not want to know either, which is half the problem I think. The funny thing is, nationalists, the majority of whom supposedly wouldn't have voted for Brexit, should be the ones most up in arms about the problems with trade, as the entirely innocent victims. But it seems they are willing to tolerate in silence their rights being curtailed in this case - and yet were shouting all over the place when the danger being warned about was curtailment of rights due to a hard Irish border. Can shout loud enough about rights when it suits their politics. That smacks of hypocrisy and spite. More than happy to let their Unionist neighbours, many of whom didn't vote for Brexit either, swing on the end of this trade and constitutional rope, despite yes even the DUP standing against a hard Irish border during the negotiations. No reciprocation. No community spirit. Bitter nationalist sectarianism is alive and well, and ensures no hope of real healing of conflict in this generation either. This is the elephant in the room that no one is talking about. [/QUOTE]
