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.Lew Dolby wrote: Fri Oct 08, 2021 9:03 am If the paperwork to move goods across borders isn't really onerous, what's all the fuss about sending stuff to NI all about ?

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?sheldrake wrote: Fri Oct 08, 2021 9:05 amIt's an internal border within the UK, affecting businesses that never had to think about exporting before.

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.temptar wrote: Fri Oct 08, 2021 9:52 am

"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".

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?plodder wrote: Fri Oct 08, 2021 10:47 am
