New Irish trade routes

Post Reply New Topic

UK for too long has affected the rest of the isles with their Brexit nonsense. It's unfair their trade is subject to UK entry, and we could make very special concessions to ensure Scotland and Ireland have right to trade independently.
Actually the idea of the UK being the boss, is absured, so much so that Iraq and BRICS are going to deliver to them especially.

NATO is evil, NATO must stop monopolizing.
So from now on we don't bother with the UK, goodbye and good riddance.

Another Anti-Nato conspiracy theory, eh?

The real Ireland -- the Republic -- seems free to trade independently.

Ulster, however, has the sad misfortune of being part of the dwindling British Empire, and is therefore subject to its whims.  Only secession will relieve the shared plight of both Scotland and Ulster.

There are a couple of issues here.

The first is that, while Ireland does have access to the EU Customs Union, there are now extra customs expenses for goods shipped across Great Britain between Ireland and the continent. See here.

This is, however, a geographical reality. As long as the UK is outside the Customs Union, this is going to be an issue. It isn't the UK controlling Ireland. In theory Ireland could ship all its goods around Britain, but this is usually more expensive.

The second criticism I have of your post is that Northern Ireland (which is distinct from Ulster, a historic province of Ireland including Counties Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan in the Republic) is in almost the exact same situation as Ireland, because the Withdrawal Agreement effectively treats Northern Ireland as part of Ireland and draws the customs border down the Irish Sea, in order to prevent border checks between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

I would add that Britain no longer has an empire. Northern Ireland, and Scotland for that matter, remain part of the United Kingdom voluntarily, with both having their own Parliaments. It particularly makes little sense to talk of Scotland's "plight" in this context, because Scotland was an equal and active participant in both the empire and the UK.

You are right, however, that blaming NATO is silly, and that OP seems to be confusing the UK and England.

Fair enough. I am but an expatriated Yank, and you are in the midst of it all.

Thank to.

Those transport levies do add up. And I'd overheard the Brexit complaints before debating whether UK has cost the isles losses.
Does Britain have right to just walk back into the EU and with missiles dictate what others have fought much longer against, even before Ukraine war.
AI is very dangerous, Ursula von Lyden is dictating security for AI without Europe actually agreeing. Microsoft AI investments in Phillipines is direct insult, if Japan believed AI is future, great but don't expect the others to comply, or that German Microsoft flavour is going under the radar on security.
Uk has also not being able to keep Germany in place, on their own. It's disrespectful to spit on the others who contributed to UN to start with, it also was backlog and heavy investigation and German penalties for behaviour in South Africa and surrounds was late, and sadly the British were not keeping Germany in check.

The Irish also handled ICJ case filed for rights of civilians in Palestine, and brings happiness to the EU which we feel UK is not even offering ammends to renter or considering existing dispute.
Mercusor deal is a violation, similar to Madagascar the British in South Africa do nothing to preserve Congo or any national treasures. These regions are not subject to political favour but to laws that protect human locust species from other greedy human locusts. British do not have Biden presence that band round up or respects organic farming in RSA, often outbreaks and need to secure organic farms from factory farms which should actually not be in this country. Lagoons and earth healing took 40 years from banana sprays and most of damage was and is British settlers
Mercusor is not beneficial to EU farmers, and I believe South America should rather invest in India, think they still present in ivory Coast. This serves poverty alleviation agenda which discouraged refugees enter Europe, it is responsible trade act to protect Brazilian rain forest. It's also community upliftment which means improves lives of South Americans too.

Trump and EU have crossed the line with green peace, the mercusor deal is aggrivating EU even more. Deporting refugees may also strain Brazil so deportation plan may in future come under fire meaning worse unemployment and more strain on natural resources. Lula health is of concern, it's as if by chance too much coincidence,
Often in EU it is difficult to be direct about what issues are, many times Victor Orban is right to be silent, but it's also not helping resolve issues.
We will look at fact that Japan was a ganster run colony, and investigate safety. Sometimes it's legal issues with porn, but also draws character of countries ethics, and has valid review of Artificial intelligence, safety, possibilities for corruption, etc.
Phillipines reputation isn't viable, nor is Germany, operating in legal prostitution is offensive to some, alarm bells. Similar to job interview but as a country, what was previous employment. Oh, so ganster kidnap underage girls from safe houses to sell in sex industry, I'm sorry. No.

In short, UK doesn't fit in, or align with policies, and there is more but this just says a bit.

Wut?
