Re: Brexit benefits
If the paperwork to move goods across borders isn't really onerous, what's all the fuss about sending stuff to NI all about ?
WOULD CUSTOMERS PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SITTING ON THE COUNTER BY THE BACON SLICER - AS WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BEHIND IN OUR ORDERS.
Re: Brexit benefits
It's an internal border within the UK, affecting businesses that never had to think about exporting before. The symbolic message to Northern Irish unionists that they are 'not fully part of the UK' is very unwelcome. It does need sorting out.
Re: Brexit benefits
NI women who couldn't get abortions have known that for years and so have meat importers who were doing checks at the ports for years. If it is symbolic now, why wasn't it during the foot and mouth years? Why isn't it for women getting abortions?
Re: Brexit benefits
You make good points, I only know what unionists themselves have said about it in public. I don't have any personal ties to NI unionists.
Re: Brexit benefits
We watch, impressed, as sheldrake discovers that politics in NI is full of lunatics.
"Hmm" he thinks to himself. "This might complicate the simple border checks we have in mind. Best get someone to look into this a little more".
Re: Brexit benefits
I do think there are solutions, and am more optimistic than you, but I've never thought of the situation in NI as a 'benefit' so I would love to debate this with you more in the consequences thread. Is that fair?

Re: Brexit benefits
Inadequately informed about what unionists are cross about, or inadequately informed about what you think they should be cross about?

Maybe they helped sweet-talk some commissioners. People are usually willing to be pragmatic where money is involved.

Is that the one where you sell us your carbons at a discounted rate?
Re: Brexit benefits
It is. We'll be doing emissions trading with Canada too, I think.
