Free trade agreement would mean less checking of goods moving across the Irish border. If our tariffs were kept the same from outside the EU that could be taxed on arrival.What problems would disappear? It wouldn't solve the birder issue.
Congratulations. You finally understand or finally admit what is going on.
So now you finally admit something how about explaining that we need to know about what sort of trade deal there will be before finalising what will happen with the Irish border.
Or would you like to explain how we can finalise what is happening with the Irish border without knowing anything about a trade deal. You have admitted that it could make it worse. Yes we just don't know.
But of course you will twist it away from what you have just admitted. You always do.

In fact we could go on all day. But not knowing any trade agreements leaves us guessing. Just like you are now.
And the same old question that you have been ignoring for ages.The Irish border is more than trade though. Many people in the North work in the South and vice versa so it’s also about freedom of movement. The island of Ireland also shares an electricity grid so it’s about services, the people that work in the south get paid in another currency to their accounts in Northern banks so again it’s about service, the Garda and PSNI have a very close cross border policing arrangement so it’s about security and criminality, and we haven’t even factored in the GFPA.
What about regulatory controls? What if ROI and the EU won’t accept chlorinated chicken but the UK does? Who will control whether the chicken in a Northern Ireland truck is chlorinated or not?

How can we finalise anything with the border when we don't know any details? All we can do is guess.
So let's say we come to an agreement on the Irish border. Suddenly a trade deal means the agreement is worthless as it doesn't coincide with the trade deal. We would then have to start again.
Wouldn't put it past those running the EU to have it as a plan to keep us in for years longer.
I've already tried to get this point across.
So you admit that any trade deal could make the situation with the Irish border worse yet you know that all the problems with the Irish border can be solved without knowing a single thing about a trade deal would look like.You’re still spectacularly missing it. In fact you’re further away now than you were at the beginning.
Try putting the horse before the cart. If the Union means anything to you, if the Northern Irish economy means anything to you, if the people of Northern Ireland mean anything to you, if the GFPA means anything to you you will sort out the border issues first and let that dictate what the trade deal will look like. If you want to dismiss the union, the Northern Irish economy, the people of Northern Ireland and the GFPA then by all means put trade first.
And why is that?The DUP is a bigger threat to sorting the Irish border than any other party involved in brexit.

Then you make out that I am missing the point. Yes OK.
But you have no point to prove. You have already proved yourself wrong. And all you can say is that I have missed the point.You’ve just proved again that you’ve missed the point. I don’t need to make anything out, I just have to let you keep talking.
And why is that?
You like to make out that you know what is going on. But all you want to do is have a dig at those who have anything to do with us leaving other than those who run the EU. And you like to have a go at those who voted leave.
Not bad for someone who voted UKIP.
Lost what argument?The old UKIP line again. You’ve lost the argument.
Just to remind you brexit stands for Britain leaving the EU not the EU excluding Britain. By the very definition that puts the onus on us to sort it out. We voted for this, we chose this problem yet you won’t us to shirk the responsibility of what we’ve done and put the onus on others. So much for taking back control.
And why is that?

Lost what argument?
So what has any of that got to do with the Irish border?
You are trying to say that knowing details of any sort of trade deal wouldn't make it easier to sort out what is the best thing to do with the Irish border. You say it might make it harder. You are nothing but deluded.
Just to remind you UKIP were about one thing. Leaving the EU. You voted UKIP. Now you are crying your eyes out as what you voted for has happened. Yet you have the balls to have a go at me. The one of us two that has never voted UKIP or to leave the EU.
Hope this helps. But you will make out that it doesn't.
Q&A: The Irish border Brexit backstop
It is a complete non-issue.I've already tried to get this point across.

As I have pointed out before - people happily go visiting the US & eat copious amounts of said foul (see what I did there?) produce.

Whose going to enforce the hard border? We have said we won’t.
Not sure where you’re getting that from. The PSNI already has a plan for recruiting hundreds of officers, opening police stations etc. along the border in the event of a hard border. We’ll certainly be enforcing it. The black market was big business back in the 70’s and the police will have to deal with that again if there’s no free trade and movement over the border.
A long but very well presented explanation of Brexit and the English problem with Ireland. It explains in a way that even Astute and Bazza could understand. They of course cannot see this link as I am blocked. It takes over an hour, but if you are interested in an explanation...
I can’t be bothered to read anything he says
The Irish problem will go one of two ways. There will inevitably be a delay in the decision on Ireland - the so called backstop. The country can then call a poll to decide if it wants unification. It will be clear that if it does not it accepts the possibility one day that the border can become one where goods and services are inspected - as they are in many countries around the world.
McDonnell has made his position clear so the DuP if they go against May will effectively be signing a unification treaty
Good luck with that
It's a video. It explains the English problem. His opinion of a solution at the end is a 3 question, refined to 2 question, final vote. If, after making an informed decision, the British still vote for self harm, then that is the end of it. Most of the video though was a balanced explanation to an American audience. He is Irish and reporting on Brexit from a relatively neutral point of view. Altough he thinks Brexit is a crazy idea which died at birth as the promises made cannot be kept.
The Irish are supposedly recruiting over a thousand customs officers.
Why change the truth?For fucks sake. The UK, the EU and Ireland have agreed that the border question needs sorting before trade talks start.
It’s the governments stance. It’s a nonsense argument to suggest Colditz style borders would exist - as they didn’t across Europe prior 1992
How about explaining your rubbish about a trade deal before the Irish border making more problems and not less?When have they stated that? They seem to be ignoring the issue as the PSNI boss has pointed out publicly. Colditz style borders? I think you’re trying to dramatise it a tad there. The PSNI are planning on policing it though. Like I said in the 70’s the black market was big business. I can’t see the authorities turning a blind eye to criminal activity. We’ll have to enforce it as we will have no choice.
Why change the truth?
The EU said we had to find a solution to the Ireland border problem before we can talk trade. I said at the time that they are just trying to make it as hard as they can for us to leave.
Here is a paragraph from the BBC link I gave that shows you that the few of you are talking rubbish about trade deal negotiations before the border problems would cause more problems.
The reason why an agreement on the backstop is so important is that the EU won't agree to a transitional period and substantive trade talks until it is in place.
And how about explaining how it is easier sorting out the border problem without knowing any details at all of a trade deal.
How about explaining your rubbish about a trade deal before the Irish border making more problems and not less?
I saw you left no comment about the BBC link. Is that because you can't accuse the pro EU BBC of being pro Brexit?

Why was black market big business in the 70’s
