UK Politics Thread VII: Wake me DUP inside [can't wake UUP]

[The Huskar Social Union]

Yeah

The Korean solution could always work. Just declare the enclaves a "Joint Peace Area" and then sow a million landmines on either side of the road. Then you only need two border crossings into and out of the zone

*Eating bag of Tayto by the road, strong gust of wind knocks it into the mindfield*
"Fuck sake"

Walks in after it because that would be the NI thing to do

[Bienenhalde]

Oh apparently its going to be a smart techy border with things and the cloud that does cloud things.

The only sensical approach is to adjust our citizenship laws. We're not allowed to render people stateless, but those born in NI get both British and Irish citizenship anyway.

We adjust the rules so there's border checks between NI and the rest of the UK and tell the DUP to get the fuck over it.
We adjust citizenship rules so people born in NI get Irish citizenship, or British if they are born to British parents inside NI, and then that's that and we don't have to deal with EU migrants abusing the border to get british citizenship and so on.
Fuck a border, it's too much hassle.

Its certainly an unusual idea, but I for one would support it.

[The New California Republic]

Or you just say screw it NI you’re now Irish

Or that, yeah, but that would be handing Ireland a lemon in the form of several thousand angry orangists.

An attempt at unification would cause a shitstorm that would take decades to get over, as it'd likely bring the worst days of The Troubles back again.

Well who knows that might actually end up happening sooner than a lot of people think. Since brexit ive known of quite a few unionists who have gotten irish passports and have said they would rather stick in the EU and if that meant joining the republic they would be for it. And this goes for plenty of lukewarm nationalists who were unsure if it would be better to unify with ireland or not at the moment.

Before brexit the idea of unification was as far as i was concerned incredibly idealistic and would not happen for decades at the minimum. Now.. i could honestly see it being a reality relatively soon. Its going to cause shit no doubt, plenty of protests, riots and maybe some of the loyalist paramilitaries will stop murdering one another over drugs to detonate the odd bomb or carry a mass shooting here or there, though i would never expect anything on the scale of the troubles, and even during the troubles those fellas could never match republican paramilitaries in scale of operation or effectiveness anyway.

I wonder that when NI reunifies will Scotland try and become independent again. I’d hate to be the PM during that mess.

Pretty sure if I was PM I could head off Scottish independence with my reforms.

Possibly not, it would be bad, but loyalist paramilitaries were never as well organised or as efficient as the IRA was during the troubles, they often had help from the British military (which they wont this time unless the UK is suicidal and decides to help them for what ever retarded reason) and often murdered their own people a lot because they mistook them for Catholics. Loyalist groups were no more than armed gangs a lot of the time than a full fledged armed movement, and even though the IRA split during the troubles, they orchestrated and carried out stuff on a far far larger scale than the likes of the UVF and UDA did.

It would still cause a ton of shit, but it would not be as bad as the worst of the troubles would be. And younger people today in NI would really not want to be involved with this kind of shit, and so support for these fuckers would be a lot lower than it would have been in the troubles.

Nicola Sturgeon uses any excuse as a case for Independence. No. Do not want it. Scotland stays.

Ya if the UK got involved militarily it would be really bad for them. As the US would be throwing their weight behind the ROI. There’s a shit ton of Irish in he US and they wouldn’t think twice about raise hell if the UK pulled a stunt like that

Ah america and ireland, always reminds me of this:

"Like who"
"Americans"
"Who else?"

Would also piss off Europe massively if the UK started helping paramilitaries again in an EU member state.

[Ifreann]

The British Government could just be really facetious and use The Berlin Wall as a model for the border crossings...

Oh apparently its going to be a smart techy border with things and the cloud that does cloud things.

Like hell that would happen. Would rather reduce London to ashes than see the flags of a foreign power being flown over all the government buildings. I'm sure if Operation Sealion had actually materialised then London would have been left in ruins. It wouldn't be like Paris, where the Germans just wandered in and took it.

Now, that's not quite what happened.

Indeed, they could have razed the city, but chose not to lose a thousand years of history, having seen what a stoic defence had done for the Czechs, the Poles and the Dutch by that point.
