It's a fight for independence. People have really fricked up the whole principle of the deal.

The people didn't understand what they were voting for so they must be made to understand the correct way to think about Brexit.

By any means necessary.

Unpossible.

I was told by Nacy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer that countries that have gun bans dont have guns or gun violence. Especially islands where it would be like, literally impossible to sneak in guns.

It would seem that you are the type of person that would have removed Trump and inserted HRC because some sky screamer yelled "not my president."
Your argument is weak. You probably were a shite talker concerning how the Mueller Report would bring an indictment against MAGA. Your lack of awareness is amazing to me. Let me guess, you are a liberal progressive that claims to be libertarian. Weak.

How does the average Irishman from Boston or New York feel about the IRA?


They feel patriotic and nostalgic for a place most of them have never been, and contribute money and moral support to the IRA, resulting in death, destruction and misery for people who actually live there.

The term in Ireland for these people three and four generations removed from the island is "plastic paddy." The IRA cynically uses them as a source of funds and political support.

You don’t know anything about this process do you? The reason why this process is been such a shitshow it’s because the UK government wants all of the advantages of the free trade area without being a member of the EU. And they know they can’t just pull the plug altogether or it’ll collapse their economy.

No, not really.

Not at all actually.

Yet we have free trade agreements with multiple countries without belonging to some supra-national organization.

It's almost like the EU cares more about power and control than they do free trade.

But please, lecture me more about this process you profess to be so knowledgeable about.

they threw a shite fit after Brexit


Has the UK figured out a solution to the border issue between the Republic, Northern Ireland and Brexit? Because I am like others and fear that anything less than a soft border will only increase instances like this in the OP.

Not the same.


Think Alabama leaves the US, but wants to keep all the advantages of being a state with none of the rules they don't like.


That's Brexit in elementary terms

No, it's not.

Articles of Confederation maybe, but not the current United States. Not even close.

I'll give it to you in elementary terms.

It's like a company in Alabama trying to buy steel from Germany then Pennsylvania steps in and blocks the deal because they want the AL company to buy from them even though it's far more expensive.

Leaving the EU would allow them to make trade deals with EU countries as well as other countries around the world without having some beauracrat torpedo the deal out of self preservation
