Where was that other town in the UK where it was going on?
All Asians too I think.
Rochdale I believe
Rotherham too.
You can’t say that. Snowflakes won’t like it.

I think the Brits are trying a bit of cute whorism on this border issue.
They know full well the EU won’t allow a border with no checks, so they are going to let the big bad EU be the ones who are forcing the issue.
I dunno. I think the EU would be quite happy to let that go and impose checks at Irish ports. I think they’ll let the English tie themselves in knots and watch them squirm at every fuck up.

We won’t bother with a border and Ireland & N. Ireland will become a serious trade hub for exploiting pricing differences, gaps in tariffs etc.
@anon67715551 you should seriously consider setting up an evening class in border smuggling. The current generation have a knowledge gap.

Sure it’s the Brits that want to keep Europeans out, not the other way around.

I don’t know. They won’t give a fuck about Ireland becoming a staging post for millions of East Europeans traveling to NI.
The lads of my generation are H1 standard in “nefarious activities”. And as the saying “black cats have black kittens” goes, I doubt if the next generation hereabouts will have much difficulty with any forthcoming Brexit arrangements, whatever they may entail.
Cassidy’s in Derrylin* will remain the economic hub of this area for specialised products ie: kerosene, liquor and tobacco essentials.
- This information is straight from the horse’s mouth I might add.

All the skilled Irish workers fleeing the UK and coming home now. Only the navvies left.
Recruiters in London warned this week that the city is “haemorrhaging talent” as a result of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, with the number of people seeking jobs there down 33 per cent in the last year.
Brian Kavanagh (44), criminology lecturer: ‘If Brexit hadn’t happened, it is unlikely I would be packing my bags’
Next weekend, I will leave my life in London for the final time after teaching in higher education here for the last 12 years. At no point did I ever claim benefits and, apart from a few blood tests, I have not burdened the NHS.
But this is how I (and 3 million others) were presented in the predominately right-wing press during the Brexit campaign, as a burden. I thought people would see through the misrepresentation of the EU. But the vote to leave shows British people saw EU citizens as an inconvenience, and not as individuals who had contributed to this country.
Jane Fahey (31), PA to an MD at a management consultancy firm: ‘Ireland will become much more enticing for expats’
I voted to remain, and Brexit came as a big shock not only to me and my friends, but also my co-workers. Even now, more than a year later, there is an air of uncertainty. I came to London four years ago having lived in San Francisco, attracted by career opportunities Ireland did not have at the time.
This seems no longer to be the case; every day I read of new companies opening European headquarters in Ireland. Friends working in Dublin assure me there are plenty of jobs. Ireland is once again seen as an enticing investment for companies, with a highly skilled workforce, and it is still in the EU.
The cost of living in London was only ever counterbalanced by the salary, but if such well-paid jobs move to Ireland post-Brexit, Ireland will become much more enticing for expats to come home.
Jenny Phelan (29), programme manager for the Victoria and Albert Museum: ‘How we felt about the UK changed’
Being Irish and living in London since 2012, my husband and I were able to vote Remain in the referendum, unlike many of our European friends. We were in Gatwick Airport on the way to the wedding of our Greek friends, who we met in London, when the results broke. It was both shocking and upsetting to consider that the free movement of people, and the way we live and work, could change so drastically.

I’m stuck over here living in a squalid bedsit and reduced to posting pictures of the latest take away junk I can afford on my measly wages on an obscure forum. It pads out the hours in my desperately lonely existence. There’s no hope for me returning home as foreigners can do my job better than I can and at half the price.

We moved home in June after four years in London. We were nervous at the Brexit vote but thought it wouldn’t pass, even by a slim margin. We were abroad the morning of the result and the distance felt reflective of our feeling on the whole thing.
Brexit brought up a “them vs us” attitude quite starkly, and emigration, border control and movement of people were some of the biggest sticking points of both sides of the campaign. We’ve both had experiences of colleagues or neighbours complaining about “immigrants taking our jobs” – but when offered the slice of reality that we, too, were immigrants in London it was brushed off as “oh, but you’re Irish, it’s not the same”.

Sad to see begrudgery is still the predominant trait of the Irish.
