Be no harm at all if Irish retailers would stop being so lazy and give us some choice like more goods from the continent- always amazed when I go to a German, French Dutch or Spanish supermarket on holidays the array of great stuff you can get but virtually unsold here. Because we are so drowned in Uk centric stuff

It is almost as if we are off their coast.

And goes back to colonial times- they imported food ingredients from all over the empire, processed them into high value goods and sold back to the colonies for a profit.

The t brits are lucky that they will be doing a trade deal with the US while trump is president, it's always America second in any negotiations.

It hasn't been though.

Hate Trump, I could care less if you shot him but he has unwound the global free market in trade in a way Bernie Sanders never could hope for.

His leaving the ultra Thatcherism EU/U.S. deal and the Tpp trade deal are the first blows neoliberalism have had in 40 years.

Why truck stuff from Germany when it can be trucked from Manchester in half the time.

It all costs money.

Maybe but the idea the U.S. want the EU to fail is foolish.

They look at its economic performance and wonder if it will take the global economy down.

No they won't but they'll still avoid the cluster **** economy of the Eurozone, which is all down to the way the Euro is organized.

That problem remains regardless of Brexit.

Jesus lad put down the yfg badge for a sec and be objective.

Substitute 'Trump' for 'the U.S.' Is it so foolish now?

I don't know where you get your figures from. The EU economy 55% of the USA?
That's nonsense. The latest figures say that US GDP is $20.5 trillion, and the EU $18.8 trillion.

Lord bless your innocence, what do you imagine they are still producing in Manchester that a supermarket might want to sell?

Would the CDs themselves not be manufactured in Austria, though? Sony shut down their UK CD manufacturing plant last year, I believe...

What's the problem regarding brexit

Refreshing to see Chris O'Dowd is having a Brenda Fricker moment and isn't varnishing the truth despite the commercial success of his series depending upon a British audience.

Chris O’Dowd: ‘The idea that the British government won’t f*** us over is laughable’

“It seems oddly fitting to the people of Ireland,” he says finally, “that Brexit is coming down to the backstop. The suggestion that the British government is making – that they won’t f*** us over – is laughable. That’s what they have done for 800 years. People growing up in Britain won’t have much sense of that. Their history books don’t really dwell on the depraved way Britain has treated its closest neighbour. What do I think will happen? Irish prosperity and peace are going to be completely usurped by Westminster. Again.”

If that happened I'm sure he would speak up and stop taking all the money he makes there in protest

He obviously would speak up, since he is speaking up right now, and it hasn't even happened yet.

As for not taking all the money he makes over there, I'm not sure why you think that would be an appropriate or effective protest.I can think of lots of more productive things that he could do. (Like speaking up, for one.)

He is the blue shirt b****** that will put up a hard border in Ireland, as the EU masters tell him to.

You misread my post.

I said the Eurozone.

The figures still stand and they remain a shocking black mark on the project.

Indeed, I can think of 'taking their money' as being one of the more delightful (and profitable) ways of showing protest.

It is the British who are putting up a hard border in Ireland, and don't let your Brexiter masters tell you otherwise.

Playing a blinder on Brexit. An absolute disaster on almost everything else.
