@Clainy6 So minus your WFA £200, your increased fuel bills, primarily caused by Miliband the Mad's nett zero polices, you suffer a nett loss! That's before all the price increases caused by Reeves economicly naive budget! Thank you Labour!

@Angelcalling5 Strange then farmer's mass protests have only been mobilised since Labour & Reeves' budget when they renaged on their assurance there would be no changes to IHT!

@rtenews Norway's sovereign wealth fund is valued at $1.8 trillion, so why is Norwegian Refugee Council relying on handouts from US?

@gerrymac6511 @3000Versts For people going about their legal business the border effectively doesn't affect them, but that doesn't mean the border doesn't exist & isn't monitored, particularly N to S. Garda check public transport Belfast/Dublin & return unauthorised travellers!

@gerrymac6511 @3000Versts Strange then, border infrastructure divides NI from IRL, which is policed by Irish Customs & Garda to stop unauthorised travellers entering IRL. There's no majority in NI for a closer alignment with IRL/EU, otherwise there would be a majority for UI.

@Nivagenal @implausibleblog Something wrong with both your understanding of how British democracy works & your maths! 45% opposed to rejoining & 24% voting for Party who refuse to join CU/SM, does not amou to 55% for rejoining! Labour cannot bind the government that success them!

@Nivagenal @implausibleblog You're a supporter of democracy then? Polls on voting intentions show some 45% would vote for Parties opposed to rejoining & 24% for a party that says it will not rejoin CU/SM. Parties committed to rejoining are polling at under 20%.

@NicholasTyrone As a research director, maybe some research into food inflation in EU, US & the effects of World events might stop you making foolish claims!

@Default69202648 @MikeStrank @BeattieDoug No, there have been many attempted incursions in Irish airspace by Russian bombers, thwarted by RAF. These incursions by aircraft which aren't registered on ATC sites pose a potiential danger to civilian traffic in Irish airspace. Irish/UK agreement for RAF patrols date to '50s

@Default69202648 @BeattieDoug Ireland's inability to patrol/protect the 800k kms of waters in its Exclusive Economic Zone & undersea cables routed from its coasts provides a major security risk to Europe/US/UK! These commercial assets will be far more vulnerable to attacks than a land invasion.

@soundabuse @squinteratn @mikenesbittni As yes, British Empire, backed by the British Army, with up to 50% of its strenght made up of Irish volunteers together with the Irish administrators! Historically, probably more Irishmen have served in the British Army than the Irish Defence Force!

@soundabuse @squinteratn @mikenesbittni Yes, but you miss the essential point, Swiss have invested in their armed forces so they can defend their neutrality, Ireland haven't!

@snb19692 Your Grandparents, my Parents served in WW11 to stop UK being absorbed into a federal Europe, just as Brexiteers voted to be free from an ever increasing federalized EU! Nazis murdered 6mil Jews & others, to bandy accusations of Nazism is insult to all who perished in WW11.

@soundabuse @squinteratn @mikenesbittni If Irish armed forces were as numerous & well equipped as their Swiss counterpart there would be no cause for complaints! The reality is there's no comparison, Swiss have volunteers & compulsory conscription. They have some 250 fixed/rotary aircraft. Ground forces have tanks etc!

@monicabeharding Without knowing what terms EU would impose on UK to join a CU you are in no position to make such a claim. You're just grasping at straws!
