It oughtn't to have been pressed to this choice, but if Ireland & the EU force it to be, then when push comes to shove, leaving the EU - properly, truly leaving it - is (massively) more important than the Belfast Agreement. It is nowhere near a top Brexit priority.
Almost everyone's tried to avoid saying, up to now, that the Irish border is not a top priority. No-one wants to be responsible for any future unrest or lawlessness. But it is the blunt truth. What happens at the Irish border is far less important than that we truly leave the EU.
I don't believe there need to be stop-&-check controls at the Irish border, but I am not prepared to see any compromises on anything fundamental to avoid them. Avoiding them (especially insofar as they are implemented by the EU not the UK) simply isn't that important.
Zero point two percent of U.K. Exports cross the Irish border
And . . .
That we do not breach the Good Friday agreement is important. Whether or not Ireland does is far less so, and we certainly shouldn’t worry about their mistaken belief that our actions make their misbehaviour inevitable.
It's the language of the mob, pay your protection money or who knows what will happen
As a NI remainer...thanks for your honesty (genuinely)..in fairness I think we all know this & if the debate going forward can be based on honesty (around this) I think that would be good
@Think32_
Honesty like ‘we couldn’t care less about the people of Northern Ireland and their lives’, you mean? Jesus.
If only you could guarantee that it won't cause ramifications beyond that eh? To be fair Andrew, most of us who voting remain realised quite some time go that all that matters to Brexiteers is that we leave. Nothing is more important than Brexit to them.
Short, medium or long term ramifications don't matter. Its all about Brexit. Facts? Not important as brexit. Peace? Not as important as Brexit. Trade? Not as important as Brexit. Jobs? Not as important as Brexit. Very sad really and so short sighted
In other words, you have nothing but disdain for the 'will of the people' that saw the Good Friday Agreement voted in by a landslide in the Republic and Northern Ireland. Thanks for being honest.
