Imagine being some EU bureaucrat having to negotiate any kind of deal with Britain in the coming year

I would just quit my job and start a new career, I think

Its going to be hilarious for the EU negotiators.
The UK is going to go in and say 'we want the same trade, but cheaper on our side. You lot pay us more though for our stuff'.
The only risk the EU people have is bursting a blood vessel from laughing.

I can see the UK getting really pissy about fishing areas, that's going to be funny to watch.

Correct.
Am from NI, and it will be a loving economic nightmare for the Republic to take back Northern Ireland.
Its not just changing the flag and road signs like a lot think.
You have to change the money, laws, healthcare, education system, and a poo poo load of other things.
Take healthcare. 1.8 million in Northern Ireland. Removed from the UK NHS and placed onto the Republics health insurance.
Lot of NI patients suddenly have to pay tens of thousands for medicine that was free to them on the NHS.

Better off if NI became its own little weird multi-country. More and more are not seeing ourselves are either Irish or British.

I got an email from Amazon telling me that one of my favourite whiskeys (Bushmills' Black Bush) was on offer.

But due to Brexit Amazon is no longer able to ship Northern Irish spirits to Northern Ireland,. They have to go through export declarations to ship to Amazon's distribution centre in GB, them go through further export declarations to ship it back from GB to Northern Ireland's EU customs zone.

The government is still sticking to their hardline propaganda that there is no internal Tory sea border between Britain and NI.

Black Bush is a good drink.
But its available everywhere in NI, why do you have to get it from Amazon?

Or how Ireland and rest of the EU are just bypassing the UK via ship routes overnight. Boris and co just sitting there saying 'they did what?' to each other.

Close third, UK 'ex-pat' shops within europe not importing UK goods any more to sell to UK 'expats' and getting them instead from Ireland.

Did the same thing when a guy got shot down my street.
It's mainly to contain the area for forensics, also to stop fuckers from getting photos to flog to the press.

Side story: Was on a long distance bus years ago, and there was a car crash ahead. Police were already there, cordons were up, and were waving through traffic.
Problem was the cordon was not high enough to block our view. So we got a good eyeball of the blood and bits covered car, the bodies/survivors already taken away.

Why are people surprised Starmer is a cop lover.
Starmer was the one who upheld the decision not to prosecute the officers who had killed Jean-Charles de Menezes.
Cops killed an innocent man in broad day light, during rush hour, and oopsie no one at fault here!
So in a riot situation, cops would have to be loving and cannibalizing the rioters before Starmer thinks its a bit rum.

they made ludicrous amounts of money and strongarmed a tory government for two years with ten loving mps, and it's pure bad luck that the next tory leader would personally sell them back to ireland for a small kickback

The DUP are really good at getting what they want, they just want terrible things because they're terrible people

The DUP lucked their way through the last 5 or so years. They did not get there by skill or planning.
It was the Lib Dems wilting that got them into coalition with the Tories, and they bungled that too for near demanding everything all the time when a vote was up.
The DUP never got what they want, they get what is given to them by the uncaring Tories.
Boris had to do a last minute trip to assure them that there will be no border in the Irish Sea, and lo and behold there is a border in the Irish Sea.
If the DUP were good at getting what they wanted, they would have finished the Irish Border Wall in 2018 and now be machine gunning Tayto vans that get too close.
