    That's the media for you, pandering to the biases of remainers who as we can see fall for the deceptions hook, line and sinker.
    Isn't it strange how the EU is allowed to warn the UK that it will suffer because of Brexit but the UK shouldn't warn anyone that they will suffer?
    Typical EU hypocrisy IMHO.


    Firstly maybe some remainers are so stupid that they can't (or more likely would rather not) read what was actually said.
    So here it is:

    She makes a very valid point.
    Still, at least the Irish cannot now say they were not warned if the poop hits the air-moving machine.
    See then if the Irish still love the EU.


    Secondly maybe some remainers are stupid enough to ignore this government analysis, though they generally seem to grasp that which is pro-EU with a desperate fervour.
    How unlike remainers that is (not).

    Yes, well that convinced me. I was worried that the intractable problem of how to deal with Britain's brutal legacy of attempted genocide in Ireland may become a problem now they're part of a block of 350 million others but I can see by screaming and shouting you've sorted it all out.

    Great job.

    The Irish are fully aware of the impact of Brexit in all it's forms. Has been discussed at length in Eire for some time now. Also concerned about the EU forcing a reform of their Corporate Tax system. Which gives them a competitive edge.

    Well telling the truth certainly beats both sarcasm and deception though I must admit that some remainer posts do almost make genocide seem appealing.

    Just to be clear then Priti Patel and Leavers on here believes the economic forecast about the impacts on Ireland, and indeed that it may even cause disruption to food supplies in a country which exports a lot of food.

    But the similart economic forecasts about the UK are clearly project fear and experts don't know anything anyway.

    Interesting....

    Likewise relies on the UK and Europe for a lot. Not least electricity from the UK.

    Tut tut tut, I suggested that about remainers first.
    You can't have it both ways.
    :naughty:

    You'll have to show me where any I or indeed any remainer said they believe the forecasts too.
    I didn't.
    I just said that Piri Patel had a point - and posted exactly what she said.
    How about instead of squirming you answer my question?
    To remind you:

    Somehow I don't think many in Ireland are seeing the UK's attitude as benevolent concern for their welfare.

    At least we seem to have moved on from the nonsense that Ireland should know their place and follow the UK out of the EU.

    It is actually genuinely pretty sad how the handling of Brexit has managed to degrade Anglo-Irish relations when they were probably at the best they had ever been in the period before this process began.

    Anyway its good to see that prominent Leavers are ok with experts as long as they are telling them something they agree with as opposed to any inconvenient truths., I suppose that is progress of a sort.

    I've never denied Ireland will take a significant economic hit from Brexit, and the harder the Brexit the harder the hit, its a shame so many on the other side of the argument find it so hard to admit the same about the UK, instead we get the tired old "Project Fear" story.

    Still its something that is largely outside Ireland's control, the UK is driving tyhe process which is why I find it odd so many think that Ireland is going to blame the EU for the forthcoming economic disruption.

    I note that no remainer has the cojones to answer my question, instead preferring acerbic yet pointless comments.
    :rotfl:

    Today I see that the EU are failing in their attempts to bully the Swiss too.
    Not having a great time really, the EU, are they?
