Triggering article 16 will create turmoil in the North

"There is consensus among EU member states that such an arbitrary and unjustified move by the UK will be met with a clear European response," they said.

Lol, doing **** all would be a 'clear european response' to be fair.

US is not pleased.

In the US, several senior members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee published a joint statement criticising the UK's position on the protocol standoff as "dangerous".

"The Good Friday Agreement and broader peace process took patience and time to build, with good faith contributions from the communities in Northern Ireland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and others," they said.

"In threatening to invoke Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol, the United Kingdom threatens to not only destabilize trade relations, but also that hard earned peace.

"We call on the UK to abandon this dangerous path, and to commit to implementing the Northern Ireland Protocol in full."

No, it is performing as designed and agreed

yes it is: the NIP is protecting NI from Brexit damage…..no wonder Johnson doesn’t want that

Putin shouts Boo! at the EU and they will schitt themselves.
They will come running to the English speaking nations to bail them out.

Which European country did Putin use Novichok poison

No, it is performing as designed and agreed, except that we haven't put in place many of controls we agreed to yet

How can it be performing as agreed when the many controls you refer to have been suspended.
The fact is that if these controls are implemented they will cause severe disruption.

The EU is being very patient with us.

Which European country did Putin use Novichok poison

Which European country was a safe haven for terrorists who murdered more Brits than Novichok or Putin ever did.
A clue.
Quote.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britain called the ruling “deeply offensive” and said it encouraged “terrorists to the view that they will probably find a safe haven in the Republic of Ireland.”

 

[Notch7]

Johnson doesn’t care about economic damage to this country, he only cares about political damage.

Currently Johnson benefits from media coverage of a trade war…..because the media is full of Tory corruption

That is why they are talking about war.

I did read Biden's not happy but he'll have forgotten about it by the end of the week.

Northern Ireland

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.
