Therefore the EU is weak.

Can you fill in the gaps there?

Just sit back in your chair for a minute and just try and forget your anti-English or hate Brits stuff......Try and forget your Brexiteers are thicko's stuff........Try and forget the EU loves Ireland and Brussels is our saviour.

Then just think who would want to deal with the UK and who would want to stop the EU and who would want to make money out of such a situation.

So your argument is Big EU and tiny UK......but other external forces big and small are going to make sure that they can either win or get a big bite of the cherry.

This can be speculators on the currency and stock exchange to countries big and small.

It could turn it an all out fight to the death.

Ireland will be on the sidelines chewing its fingers to the bone because it is powerless.

Why do you think that? Where are you from Blinding?
The Irish know that the Brits are not that educated about Ireland. Half the time a lot of them couldn't tell you if Ireland was part of the UK or a seperate country.

It's a common theme on this thread. The Brexiters seem to think that we care more about the UK than we do.

We don't want the UK to leave because we know it'll affect Ireland hugely.
We also don't get the UK media as much over here so we haven't been brainwashed against the EU for the last 40 years. We don't think the EU is perfect but no system is. We're just not stupid enough to throw out all of the good parts because we're not happy with 5% of it.

As you have clearly said yourself, The vast majority of Brits care little about Ireland and know little about Ireland . Do you really think this vast majority give two jots what Irish people think of them leaving the Eu . They don’t care because Ireland is of no importance to them.

If the Brits want to Democratically leave the Eu ( they do ) then thats their business . If the Republic of Ireland wants to stay in then thats their business. As you said Irish People are far more interested in the British re; Brexit than the other way around .

Why would a much larger Country ( UK population ; 67 Million ) be worried about a tiny country especially in population (4.75 million ) and a foreign Country at that .

Its like saying Leitrim has a big say in running the Republic of Ireland and with Leitrim being a foreign Country.

I am 100% Irish but would have much much more dealings with Brits than your average Irish Person.

The Brits are entitled to democratically leave the Eu if they choose to do so. This is the essence / reality of being a Sovereign Independent Country and a Nation State . They don’t give two jots whether you disagree with it or like it or dislike it. You are of no importance to them.

Boardstiff, crypto and a few others are English people living in Ireland, but have no plans to move back there despite brexit being brilliant for the U.K., they would apparently prefer to stay here and give out about how the Irish government handled the negotiations etc. Take from this what you will, but avoiding answering some/most questions and contradicting themselves seems to be a common trait.

Maybe they can't for many reasons. If everybody could just up sticks on a whim they would be great but not good for Ireland as the last time they did there was plenty of Polish here to do jobs.

Everybody is entitled to give out about any government . The fact that there were two clowns doing it really makes no difference as long as they cant do same again.

Of course if you are trying to start a Brits out argument then thats ok it is an Irish country.

And yet you fail to understand that this dynamic is also at play between the EU which has a population of 450 million and little Britain with its population of only 67 million.

The UK is welcome to leave, it should have been gone nearly a year ago but kept asking to be allowed stay a little longer while they sorted out their political crisis.

The EU is bored with the UK's political drama at this stage, the omnishambles used to be somewhat entertaining but the novelty has worn off. The UK will slowly be roasted in trade talks by the EU over the next few years but this will be of interest only to a few politicos and technocrats on the EU side. The people of the EU are already largely ignoring the foggy little island that used to be a member of the club but which now has little relevance to their lives.

What leverage does the UK have in dealing with the US? The US has Britain over a barrel and you are just hoping that Donald "America First" Trump goes easy.

Perhaps the US will be kind, perhaps pigs will fly, but I don't see any reason at all to expect the US to be anything other than hardnosed negotiators who will exploit their advantage to get a good deal for America at Britains expence.

You just like me have no idea of what they are talking about. It is mostly secret at present.

But you are so knowledgeable it is not a deal.........it is only a bad deal for the UK and the UK is getting screwed.

You do know you're making stuff up don't you? (A common Brexiter trait).

Where have I said anything bad about the Brits?
I don't have much tolerance for Brexiters that make rubbish up alright. That does not equal all Brits.
There are plenty of good things about the UK. This is a thread about Brexit.

As for the deal I'm only going on common sense and a capability of looking at history. Something many Brexiters are lacking a bit of.

Hopefully Trump does give the UK a good deal. I don't think so. There's a first time for everything I suppose.

As I started previously there are a good few English friends and acquaintances of mine planning to move over here or seriously considering it, those that are here have no plans to move back to the U.K.. But none of them are going on about how the Irish government treated the U.K. so badly in the negotiations etc.
That's a big difference between arguing about two governments and having a hissy fit about the government of the country you are living in trying to negate the effects of your compatriots deciding to leave the E.U. and shows the mentality of most brexit supporters.

If brexit is going to be so brilliant, there would be plenty of opportunities for someone, like yourself who feels that the Irish government treated the U.K. so badly in the negotiations to move back if you wished, however some of my English friends thinking of moving over here are on their second brexit related job loss, picking up sticks isn't a whim for them just necessity.

Also there are still loads of Polish people living here, not that they have anything to do with your very weak argument.

The one thing the UK does have with the US over others is they are their closest ally.Trump for some reason seems to think Europe relies too much on the US defending them and won`t pay their way in regards to defence which is`nt the case with the UK.

In what sence is that leverage? Can the UK credibly suggest that in the absence of a favourable trade deal from the US they will distance themselves from the US alliance or slash their defence spending? I don't think they can. As such, those are benefits the US can safely pocket and effectivly ignore in trade talks.

I`m not saying that gives the UK leverage,what I`m saying is the UK is probably America`s closest friend and ally which I imagine would count for something(plus Trump does`nt seem to like the EU)-I personally think Trump is a loose cannon and would prefer to remain close to Europe in all matters.

Irishmale0399 · 26-01-2020 9:43pm

Some amount of tripe coming out in here about anti English agenda...

Anyway as a person who employs approx. 85 educated British workers here in Germany I can report the following;

Over 60 have applied for and received German passports, 4 are in the process of getting Dutch/Belgium passports based on heritage having failed to secure German ones, 4 have received Irish passports and the rest are praying that they will get a visa to stay when the time comes based on income and education. One of the remaining lads comes from Northern Ireland, hates everything Irish, claimed the EU never did anything for Northern Ireland or its people, however suprised me last May by handing me a copy of his new residence permit. He applied for and got an Irish passport over his Easter holidays, told me he wanted to have the benifits of the German medical system and so on once Brexit happens.

Well upon talking to many of these lads about the future one thing keeps popping up...they all claim it is either the extemely wealthy or lower class who want and pushed for Brexit. The wealthy as they are against EU banking regulations and the lower class because they believe the spin in the papers, better houses, improved NHS, more jobs...... Time will tell if Boris can make Britain great however I do not believe he will. I personally see him or a future Prime Minister coming back to Brussels within 10-15 years to ask to re-enter the EU....the grass is not always greener and all that.

There was a recent article posted on the thread of the tariffs that the U.S. are currently stating that they will apply against the U.K. if they won't do what trump wants and it shows the special relationship for what it's worth.

It's an odd situation. A normal US administration would be I think at this stage be furious with the UK (ally it relied on to put its position inside the EU has left & UK relations with other member states have been damaged).

It would have been pressing them not to go for a really "hard" Brexit over the last few years. This US administration goes against 80 odd years of US foreign policy & is inimical to the EU and works to undermine it. It regularly praises the UK for Brexit; harder the better.

So possibility is there for a major agreement, esp. if Trump is reelected. However this US administration is very incompetent & also seems unable to do anything except bully others to get its way. They may make the price of the agreement too high politically for the UK to bear. Can see this already with the very public threats being made over allowing Huawei to upgrade telecoms infrastructure and the UKs plans for taxing US MNCs. Is that going to be the pattern every time the UK does something Trump disapproves of? It'll put Boris Johnson (+ the UK) in a very difficult position I think.

No it isn't. The UK has left; bye bye and don't forget your hat.

The cusp of the matter now is how the UK performs (as a sovereign independent country) without free or preferential terms of trade with anyone and having excluded itself from the hundreds of international collaborations it enjoyed as an EU member.

Ireland has an extra interest because for geographic and historical reasons we are more exposed to collateral damage than others. That entitles us to a view and also entitles us to work with EU partners for our mutual benefit, which we are doing

The UK can go fish (in its sovereign independent territorial waters )

It's not like it's a scientific experiment. Sure you could go looking for "studies" done by partisan hacks with dubious results (see SNP's plans for their independent economy in 2014 dependent on oil revenues, which were off by 99% in real life). You'll get to see the results in the coming decade, we all will. The argument is well and truly over, it's happening.

Gove: I think the people in this country have had enough of experts, with organizations from acronyms, saying—
Interviewer: They've had enough of experts? The people have had enough of experts? What do you mean by that?
Gove: People from organizations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong.

It really isn't! Your average Irish Joe doesn't give a hoot what the UK is doing.

Sure, there are concerns around trade, competition and our shared landmass via Northern Ireland - but a lot of that concern is that the UK hasn't a clue what it actually proposes to do when it's "left" this week: what the UK proposes to do in the first 30 days, the first quarter, the first year, the next decade.

You are at pains to make out Ireland and the EU and it's entire populace are spending every waking minute worrying about an EU sans UK. They really aren't as bothered as you'd like to think. About as bothered, probably, as you state the UK are about Ireland and the EU.

We're tired of hearing about it's the democractic vote of the people.

But still no plan.

Divergence, equivalence, stick to current regulations, increase above current regulations.

No more low level immigration, only immigration above certain wage level, exemptions for particular industries.

Increase democracy, place losing candidates in cabinet and HoL.

Trade deal with EU, no US, no Japan, no all three, no we don't want a trade deal and will happily leave on WTO.

So a trade deal with US is great, but no deal with EU is also great.

There is no plan, other than be seen to do something, anything. TM for all her faults actually tried to do what was best for the UK. Johnson and his government only care about what is best for them.

Without Democracy we are nothing. I for one am delighted / relieved that Democracy in this European Country has been saved . Long live Democracy.

Moving on from their hilarious obsession with passport colour, Remainers (actually that term will be defunct in a few days...) are creating much hilarity with their over the top RAGE about a coin

Best reply by far

If you give them all to me I'll give you 20p back and tell you what to spend it on. That way you'll feel like we never left Andy!

Going to be a long couple of years saying yes to the yanks

Britain’s sovereignty will be in jeopardy if the UK allows Huawei to develop its 5G infrastructure, the US secretary of state has warned.

In a last-minute plea to senior ministers, who are expected to decide on Tuesday whether to use the Chinese company, Mike Pompeo described the decision facing Britain’s national security council as “momentous”.

I've been right. Johnson was so desperate for a deal that he agreed to the EU's original proposal which means effectively carving up the UK.

Actually old Boris can do nothing but impliment what you lot call hard Brexit proposals because anything less would mean a swift collapse in faith and the sure end of the Torys within 6 months from the UK people.

So what ever has been said before will change as from Feb 1st otherwise he is gone.

It'll be some craic if the UK back down and don't use Huawei.

Will Britain piss off and get on with Brexit II (mod warning in OP)
