No it doesn’t - what I find funny is that open borders of different currencies and fiscal taxation stops illegal smuggling by just legitimising it. It’s funny.
In Benelux one country (I can’t remember which) had a huge luxury car tax - I think Netherlands - and they saved 50% by opening the border. Before the opening they’d have tried to do it but failed mostly and were fined. Unless you have a unified currency and fiscal policy all an open border does is turn a blind eye to the “smuggler”
Imaging if we are still in Europe and the Euro collapses versus the pound. The goods in the south are then so much cheaper than the north so all that happens is the north goes south to fill its petrol and saves a load of money, or buys at the nearest supermarket and drives back. From a commercial viewpoint the open border has Been a massive headache. Just think say if Wales was independent and it’s new currency was a 10th of the pound but there is no border what would you actually do? People would just drive and shop there
Open borders don’t work if you have a different currency and fiscal policy.
How does VAT work? It is 22% in Ireland isn’t it? What is fuel duty? It’s a nightmare.
stops illegal smuggling by just legitimising it
We are in a different fiscal arrangement in VAT terms - can you show me how the smuggling trade will work and which contraband will be the most likely?
Absolute ignoramus
Are you now making a case for joining the euro?
Does any of this negate the points I have raised about smuggling increasing if we are in a different tariff arrangement to the EU?

Yawn self righteous indignation alert
No I can’t show you which contraband will be most likely as I don’t know what tariff arrangement we will be in or where the price differentials will be.
You keep asking questions but answering none.

WowWell no Mowlam and Blair did that
With respect it’s you that’s made a smuggling argument but can’t articulate coherently the argument not me

Your view of the GFA as ‘surrender’ puts you pretty much on the same page as some pretty extreme people.Oh please
I can tell you quite a lot of the historical contraband is.
Petrol from the south to the north, you’ve already mentioned.
Alcohol IIRC was south to north
Cigarettes was south to north.
Disposable nappies I remember moving from north to south. All sorts of food stuff in both directions, especially canned.
Brown lemonade from north to south (try it if you’re ever in Ireland)
Agricultural products, don’t remember in which direction but use to go at night by the lough.
Can’t remember anymore of the top of my head but my uncle Bob is over at the moment and doing my best not to incriminate him but let’s just say that he might know.
It’s like talking to idiots - like Blair I surrender to the Irish extremists

I’m sure you’ve also used being against it as something to attack Corbyn with hahaha
You’re starting to come across as pretty extreme yourself, you should go over to the north and go around saying that to the locals.
In Northern Ireland there was a 81% turnout for the referendum and 71% voted for the GFA, to suggest that a large percentage of the Protestant community surrendered to the IRA, including RUC officers and UDR members is laughable.
There you go Grendull. Toddle of onto wiki your usual fact checking source when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

How many voted to leave the EU?
There we are
Then you should be aware of how ridiculous you sound.My paternal family come from the north

Yet you’re still clueless. Clearly ignorance is an issue you’ve experienced your whole life.
Oh dear
Oh please
No Tony I’m really not - Ireland cannot be used by a remain uk as a prop to justify their stance

A prop? Fucking hell.

At least he has been honest about not being bothered about Northern Ireland and letting it go being worth it for Brexit. It is probably a majority amongst Brexiteers (in England) and the UK in general. Most people couldn't care less about NI.A prop? Fucking hell.

As it’s part of the U.K. it qualifies and for many reasons, for the same reasons it can’t be ignored by your Brexit at any cost cult you’re in.
No I happen to have a view which s lot of other people in the north also share.
