We should all just bow down to Russia so they can stop radicals from interfering in our referendums. Then there would be no issues.

Also allow more Russians into our countries so they can invade to protect the minorities.

Russian immigrants (anecdotally) seem to be of decent quality. Tbh the same is true of the entire Iron Curtain

Eh, I'd say Romania is the exception to the rule.

So what do you guys think that will happen with the Ireland to Northern Ireland border?

The EU is really making it a requirement for any agreement that that border stays open...

[Toffee]

They’ll have to compromise eventually. It’s all just about who blinks first.

I think they will kinda do some kind like "super visa" agreement, where companys can trade theire goods without border checks, but soft checks for people

[Vincenzo]

But as I understood it was all about the people on that border in the first place.. free open travel without any checkpoints..

It's funny that the EU cares so much about this thing which the UK should care much more about *Cough* Troubles of Northern Ireland

[StevenChilton]

CTA will remain (free movement between UK and RoI) so long as Dublin keeps out of Schengen. There will be a physical border, as to how hard it will be is dependent on how much regulatory divergence there is between the UK and EU. At the very least, by becoming a third country, there will have to be customs control facilities on the border (SPS checks and the like).

In short, there's going to be a border and the EU needs to accept that so we everyone move on. The idea the EU actually cares the Troubles is a joke, it's just a convenient excuse to get an advantage. They want to use NI as leverage to keep the UK within the EU regulatory sphere.
