The cause of the toxic political situation in Ireland goes right back to the day Southern Ireland broke away and declared it's self a Republic. Yet they were still allowed border free access to the rest of Britain. If boarders had been put in place, as with any other foreign country, there would not have been the uncontrolled boarder between us and the EU.

Famously there was no political toxicity in Ireland before 1921. It all started then.

I really can't work out if you both are blaming the Irish for the failure of Brexit. Does the potato famine mean anything to you both? As I said previous Reform is old Empire dreaming.

I think you have mistaken my comment as sincere, and not as a sarcastic response!

It is not right to say that Brexit has failed. Granted we have not yet made the most of the opportunities available to us outside of the EU control. But this is due to being immediately having to cope with a pandemic, then stupidly pushing out a pro Brexit cabinet and replacing them with a right pair of twits, who could not organize a piss up in a brewery.

Name 1 thing that has improved with Brexit.

If you can't, then name one thing you were expecting to see as an improvement.

UK exports are growing – reaching £870 billion in the 12 months to November 2023, and services exports are at an all-time high03. Since the referendum, the UK economy has grown faster than Germany, Italy, and Japan and at a similar rate to France (end-Q2 2016 – Q3 2023)04.
