before the Brexit vote, no one thought about Northern Ireland, no one gave a shit about them
It was only afterwards they seem to realise that it could lead to a hard border and starting trouble over there again.

As a Scot I know we would struggle without the EU but really leaving the EU is gonna fuck NI up badly and I feel bad its basically being forced on them.

it will cripple ireland's economy since they depend on trade with the UK
he's told me of the food and medical shortages that could results

there's already been fringe rebels inciting violence (see street bomb in dublin, murdered reporter in belfast, etc)

from what he's told me, along with our friend who is dating a guy from belfast (catholic), many of the ni protestants are the ones still against reunification

i legit had no idea that there's a border fence. isn't that hard enough a border?

There's technically no border between the Irelands anymore, you can go freely between the two. I'm sure many people work in one country and live in the other thats how easy it is. But before the Good Friday agreement there was a Hard Border which was militarised and that would be the worst thing to happen to NI, if the British Army had to be deployed again because thats were the trouble will stem from.

I still don't think we will get a reunified Ireland anytime soon but the fact there are discussion about it is a big deal. The Loyalists are the problem as they will always want to be part of the UK. The other proposition to the Brexit deal was to have goods go freely between the Irelands and for there to be a border up the Irish Sea between NI and mainland UK, but the DUP and the loyalist wouldn't want this as this creates a divide between NI and mainland UK

And then go to jail. He's a piece of shit, probably enjoying his EU rights by vacationing in France

the only chaos we would have got with Ed Miliband is the fact the man cant eat a bacon roll correctly

It's bonkers that they expelled Churchill's grandson for going against Boris Johnson and then his own brother quit

I know Brexit is going to suck but I don't fully understand the nuances of the situation
