Triggering article 16 will create turmoil in the North

[diy_fun_uk]

We could all just try to get along and live in peace.

Nah, let's not bother. Not enough £££ to be made with peace and no unrest.

Thousands of terrorists were jailed in N. Ireland by the security forces.
N. Ireland was the target of terrorism and not the perpetrator.
Your mates in the Irish Republic refused to extradite terrorists on the grounds that their crimes were political and not criminal.
In other words, killing British citizens in the UK was not considered a criminal offence by the Irish government.

There was peace in Ireland until you voted for Brexit.

comments reportedly made
The source made the statement anonymously to The Daily Telegraph
from your link.​

So it's a fantasy made up by the Belfast Telegraph.

Like the twit Poots, who phoned the police and told them he had received information about violence towards customers officers, then reported in the media that there had been threats of violent confrontation received by the police.

N. Ireland was the target of terrorism and not the perpetrator.

Ulster Defence Association (UDA), loyalist organization founded in Northern Ireland in 1971 to coordinate the efforts of local Protestant vigilante groups in the sectarian conflict in the province.
UDA was responsible for political murders of Roman Catholics and prominent republicans, though it claimed responsibility for most killings under a pseudonym, the Ulster Freedom Fighters.
The UDA was banned by the British government in 1992.

You have your Telegraghs mixed up.

That makes it even more farcical. The Belfast telegraph quotes an anonymous source of the Daily Telegraph.

One reporter to another:
Belfast Reporter "Pssst, got any good stories?"
Telegraph Reporter, "Yeah, An anonymous source told me the EU are preparing for war, but don't tell anyone, 'cos it's not news yet, and I 'm hoping to break it first."
Belfast reporter exits left, scurrying to be the first to press.
Telegraph Reporter, turns to his colleague, "Dopey twit, he believed me, and everyone knows the EU hasn't got an army. "

That makes Poots look quite intelligent.

What's your third point?

"Boris Johnson won the general election of 2019 on the promise that he would get Brexit done. But it has not been done. Instead of stabilising, post-divorce relations are worsening. Not surprisingly, they are most fraught where the responsibilities remain shared. Fisheries are one such point of contention.

But the most dangerous by far is Northern Ireland. Back in October 2019, Johnson declared he had reached a “great new deal”. Now he would like to tear it up. That is characteristic, alas. But it is dangerous not just for the UK, but also for the EU and wider west."

Johnson declared he had reached a “great new deal”. Now he would like to tear it up

that’s because he promised the ERG nutters if they voted for the deal with the NIP….after a year he would renege on it.

What makes you believe that Boris Johnson is going to renege on the NIP.
Invoking article 16 isn't reneging.
Article 16 is part of the deal agreed with the EU.
As to all this waffle about trouble if article 16 is triggered, could you enlighten me as to who will cause this trouble.

Why should anyone allow the threat of violence dictate how they vote.

 

[Vinty]

I think the UK should have made a clean break with the EU.
Boris made a mistake allowing threats from the EU and the Irish Republic to sway his judgment in favour of an EU border in UK territory.
I am in favour of N. I. having access to the EU single market but not at the expense of trade between N. I. and GB, which is by far N.Irelands biggest market.
The is also the issue of the ECJ having juristiction over a country which is no longer a member of the EU.

You're the dopey twit.
When he said" War"he was referring to a trade war, obviously.
