[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8170738, member: 54866"] The reality is that I can't see there is any way in hell someone is going to produce something on the mainland and then ship it to Northern Ireland (by road and on a ferry no less) with the sole intent of taking it across the border with the intention of then reshipping it within the EU for nefarious purposes. I mean [I]seriously[/I]? It is the EU agitating the situation for no reason other than because they can. They don't like the fact the UK voted leave, they just want an excuse to agitate and itch and they are doing so in a way that directly threatens to inflame tensions in an area that needs to be left well alone. People travel from Northern Ireland to Ireland and vice versa freely to live, work and do business on both sides of the border today in a way which brings economic and societal benefit to both sides and anyone here would surely agree that that is a very good thing. I would be willing to bet that economic activity between the UK mainland and Ireland has also boomed in recent decades as I know many people from the UK now travel to Ireland on holiday or may even own a holiday or second home there. All I can say is long may this continue. It would be helpful if both governments told the EU to pull their claws in and mind their own business. [/QUOTE]
