Biden opposes Post-Brexit Irish Border

I must admit, Brexit does look to have been a dreadful mistake. I'm afraid I was taken in by some convincing liars who knew how to play people and tell us what we wanted to hear, trusting our emotions would overpower reason, especially since it fed into an unchallenged narrative spun for decades as well as a basic tribal distrust of others, which is a trait seen in Conservatives in particular. Not a bad instinct a lot of the time, but I should have exercised some better judgement in this case, given the importance of the decision, and actually looked into matters in more detail. But I was lazy, biased and the media didn't understand much either, so did a poor job holding the brexit talking heads to account. I suppose I should have paused for thought when my side was telling us ignoring experts was a good idea. I mean, when has that EVER been a good idea?!

All I can do now is actually put some extra effort in to lessen the impact on all those I helped inflict this on and campaign to at least get us back in the Single Market, which was in fact what was promised and what most people wanted, so a proper exercise of democracy.
Brexit does look to have been a dreadful mistake- It is no mistake Coops- it was deliberate manipulation of half a flipping nation. If you have a little think about it. We have been in the EU for 40 years with very little bother. Why, all of a sudden 4 years ago did the EU suddenly matter so much? And who to? Well, at the time the EU were considering closing tax havens and forcing the likes of Amazon to pay their fair share. Now then, guess who has money stashed in tax havens. It isn't the bloke at Nissan or on the council estate is it?
 
To sum up job losses before Brexit is UK problem after Brexit, seems reasonable.
As for not wanting peace in Ireland Jam you are better than that.
I didnt say you don't want it, but you seem to see it as a price worth paying for brexit
 
Biden will take the side of Ireland (and by default EU) over anything that looks like customs checks between North and South.
Johnson and Raab's pathetic whines that it is EU inflexibility causing the problem is laughable other than its the same type of lie (i.e. blame the foreigners) that got us into this mess and so will be supported by their target english demographic

If Johnson thinks he can ignore Biden he might as well stay at home and try for an 8 dart finish as he has more chance of being successful

The same as the lie about the Internal Market Bill protecting the GFA, it won't wash with the USA or anyone else outside the UK.
 
You are saying I put a price on an innocents life? Utterly barbaric comment.

Do you disagree that both parts of Ireland being part of the Single Market allowed both sides the illusion that they were effectively getting what they wanted out of the Good Friday Agreement after years and years of murder?

There was already a Common Travel Area for Irish people so once security was no longer required the only physical sign of a border would have been customs checks for goods and sanitary and phytosanitary checks for livestock and food. EU membership rendered this also unnecessary too. Thus the Republicans were able to accept there was no longer a divided Ireland, merely regions of a larger Union, while Unionists could also accept the absense of a border was just what occurred between European Union members that had a common travel area?
