BREXIT

[VNA]

Watching the house of Parliament in action is nearly better than watching 'Yes Minister'. [img alt=:lol width=20 height=20]http://foc-u.co.uk/file:///C:/Users/garet/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/02/clip_image001.gif[/img]

Aye political satirists in the UK are now all unemployed.  The BREXITEERS have put them out of business.


Personally, whilst there is the possibility of civil unrest, at least to some small degree, I cannot see any risk of civil war.  I mean the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum passed largely without incidence.



I absolutely take your point on why the European project was started in the first place.  It locks all member states together and forces them to sit down, discuss, and find working solutions to any problem or disagreement.  On that it has absolutely delivered.  What was previously a war torn bitterly divided continent is very much largely at peace.


But are people in Ireland concerned?  A hard BREXIT, should it happen, will have a massive economic impact on ordinary people in the UK.  We do a shit load of trade with Ireland, and I would guess we are your biggest agricultural customer.  A hard BREXIT won’t hit you as hard as us, but Ireland could be dragged into recession to some degree.


Then of course the most important part for me is that we cannot undermine The Good Friday agreement.  A hard BREXIT effectively tears up that agreement and forces a border between NI and Eire.  I don’t think a hard BREXIT will happen, but it could happen.


Our parliament is frozen, stuck solid, a referendum does seem the only way forward.  That in itself is a major worry.  Today the truth is fake, and we have alternative facts if you don’t like reality.
