Whose problem would you say it is?
Come on FNE tell me whose problem it is to rectify......errrr been listening to some guy on the news who has a sister who once travelled to Germany via France and met a guy with a Swedish accent who says that it's bad.

I was only being silly bob. :emoticon-0148-yes:
It's not actually a problem. We are leaving an organisation and it's up to both parties to work together to come to a good resolution. Agree, we left but as an integral part of the EU they needed to assist. People are getting too personal about leaving or staying.
Sadly they have not shown themselves in a good light and we have not exactly sorted anything concrete.

By saying this you once again show your lack of knowledge regarding the complexity of the Irish border situation.

Is it because I am not Irish that I don't have a say?
Maybe if I join the other 150'000 and get an Irish passport I may understand?
Checks are going on in Ireland as we speak. Goods are arriving in ports and checked by officials.
The whole thing has been brought up to stop the process. Funnily plenty of Irish politicians have said the same this week.
Are there borders into Switzaland? Apparently you can cross the border without any hassle? I also heard tonight of non EU states inside a larger EU country that doesn't have borders. Apparently there are also many cameras in Ireland that have plate recognition...As I said I don't see the problem

It's not the Eu's problem, it was our problem to solve, we haven't and nobody anywhere has come up with a solution. This really was the easiest negotiation ever hey Mr Fox. Doh


I’ve sat back for the last four months and read a lot of dribble by several posters on here regarding Brexit. Others have posted some excellent posts. I agree with you Bob. In my opinion it was Britain’s responsibility to solve this problem.

My last post 4 months ago was that I thought the UK was making a mess of this. I stand by my comment. Your PM was never going to be able to deliver the Brexit that was voted on. Never. You can’t have the best of both worlds.
9 DUP votes are dictating how Britain has had to negotiate. How ridiculous is that!!!
The two positions of no border in Northern Ireland and Britain being able to negotiate free trade agreements are incompatible. Why can’t people understand that.

Your input is very welcome Nuts, it might be instructive for some on here to get an Irish view.

Because they don’t want to, Nutso. It’s complicated and doesn’t fit in with their simplistic, ideological view of the world and the UKs place in it. The people who bang on loudest about the ‘precious union’ care least about the real people who actually live in various bits of it. Johnson and Rees Mogg have made it pretty clear that they couldn’t care less about having a hard border in Ireland, which is the inevitable consequence of the no deal/hard Brexit they want. They think droning on about sunlit uplands and endless opportunities, ‘freedom’ ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’ with no specifics is enough, because everyone else is ‘undemocratic’.

The involvement and influence of the DUP in all of this is a disgrace. And, dare I say it, undemocratic.
 
No, it’s because you’re talking pure ****e Ellers

Should we all bow to you because your Irish? My builder was Irish and knew nothing about politics.
All you have done is sat on some sort of high importance telling me I talk crap yet you can't give a decent response?
This was taken from the BBC
The Republic of Ireland is the fifth biggest customer for UK exports. The UK is the second biggest customer for Irish exports. You would have thought the Irish PM would have done a bit more to solve the problem.
Maybe the border thing will not be an issue in a no deal.

That last sentence sums up your lack of knowledge. Please stop talking and actually think about what you’ve just said there. Unreal.

And by the way, this comment is condescending and should be beneath you.
