Rajoy is forced out in Spain after losing the vote of no confidence. kustomkarkommando posted:I honestly don't know what that leaked proposal actually means - the fact it's a bleeding Sun exclusive isn't really helping on the detail Yeah, I'm also quite confused! Am I understanding this correctly? - People within the ten mile buffer zone will remain subject to only EU laws, to allow farmers etc. to cross the border into Southern Ireland with no issues - The rest of Northern Ireland will apply dual UK/EU regulations - Customs checks still needed between Northern Ireland and rUK? Won't that just create a new collection of local people and farmers ten miles further in who suddenly find themselves with a border loving them up?

Akala’s book ‘Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire’ is really good, and will probably win the Daily Mail’s ‘why does this man hate Britain and now all the Gammons are upset at the real racist award.

They were told they could not have a hard border between Ireland and NI, and have replied "Ok, we'll put the hard border between bits of NI instead, how will you object to that eh?"

^^^ [e]: Literally, yeah. According to the Guardian (second hand reporting from the Murdoch's poo poo rag) quote:Instead, he was reportedly drawing up a plan based on the “double-hatted” model in place in Liechtenstein, which would allow Northern Ireland to operate under both UK and EU regulations at the same time.

This again? So does this mean people in NI are going to have more rights than the rUK after Brexit? Like while the rest of us are drinking polluted water and poisoned chicken from America, NI will still have standards? And if someone moves to NI do they suddenly gain the right of free movement back?

Like, we knew this was going to be a massive gently caress up, and you get to a point where you think nothing is going to surprise you...and then something like this happens - and is apparently a serious suggestion, after the previous serious suggestion of magitek.

Normally I could dismiss that being what they want because it would mean making ROI responsible for five miles of hassle on their side that they never agreed to or wanted, but this is the Tories making Brexit plans so that could actually be what's being proposed here.

Either that or it'll suddenly become the most invested-in strip of land anywhere in the world as multinationals compete to get their headquarters somewhere that can trade with both the EU and UK. Derry ends up the financial centre of Europe.

until it's reported somewhere other than the scum I'm going to choose to believe even the Brexit bulldog isn't quite that mind numbingly stupid or maybe it's some sort of deep satire, the worst and stupidest possible combination of the other proposals with all the disadvantages of the others and no obvious advantages at all although it would be part of an escalating pattern of them going "ah ha I've solved the border issue!" and then someone pointing out it's been proposed repeatedly and then shot down because it violates multiple stated red lines including their own XMNN fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Jun 1, 2018 |

Pesky Splinter posted:Not just in the EU, but also in the UK, with the system based on some microstate that has dual Swiss/EU regulations. One that apparently is a logistical nightmare as they have to have dual whatevers to comply with both Swiss and EU regulations. The only one I can think of is Campione d'Italia and holy poo poo he's modelling it after something that only exists so Swiss people can go take advantage of the more liberal Italian gambling regulations and better beer prices. In one village. It's loving tiny, man.   That's at the same scale. It's the tiny outline just below Lugano. EDIT: Ah apparently he's working it off of Liechtenstein, which is... Weird? Liechtenstein does gently caress all with Switzerland except exist under a military protection scheme or something. They were even invaded by accident once. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/mar/02/markoliver quote:Markus Amman, an interior ministry spokesman, said nobody in Liechtenstein had even noticed the soldiers. "It's not like they stormed over here with attack helicopters or something," he said. Coohoolin fucked around with this message at 11:53 on Jun 1, 2018 |
