UK, EU risk trade war as Brexit row rises over N Ireland protocol

Показать описание
United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned about the risk of a trade war with the European Union.
The danger lies in a political impasse in Northern Ireland - and a threat to scrap a Brexit deal.
Recent election winners Sinn Fein say they are willing to get to work, but the Democratic Unionist Party is boycotting the legislature over post-Brexit trade arrangements known as the Northern Ireland protocol that impose border checks on goods leaving Great Britain for Northern Ireland.
The protocol was introduced to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland and some Unionists say it undermines Northern Ireland's place in the United Kingdom.
Johnson's government has threatened unilateral changes to the protocol if negotiations with the EU fail.

Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports from Hillsborough in Northern Ireland.

Looks like Boris may wind up doing what Sinn Fein has been unable to do for decades.

Reunite Northern Ireland with the Republic.

The island of Ireland doesnt want a border between the north and south.
Unionists dont want a border between NI and GB.
This was not an issue while within the EU.
Brexit created that problem.

UK: Signs agreement with EU that puts a trade border between NI and Britain in order to maintain open trade between NI and ROI

Also UK: Breaks the agreement they signed and blames it’s problems on the EU

🤷‍♂️

Interesting how when anyone from the UK government goes to Northern Ireland they talk to other politicians and when the EU goes to N.I. they talk to business people to ask them what their problems are and then present solutions!

If a foreign country occupied 6 of Englands counties and did what the English have done to the Irish over the years, what would the Engish do about it?

U.K. has a wrong approach.U.K. will have all the time U.K. will needs to satisfy her ego.There are plenty of real issues to address first.northern Ireland is not going anywhere, neither the cheap and sold out regime there.

Irish people need to grow up and start living as one country, just because you think, believe and want different stuff, you are all Irish, live in Ireland, and speak Irish, grow up ffs

BoJo will reunite Ireland and also inevitably force Scot-exit in a new referendum. Who would have thought it?

What's that protocol about. That Irish front companies get 10% royalty from English patented products?

Inevitable United 🇮🇪!
British need "Special Operation " for freedom & Independence of N.I?
It's my argument in Power Politics.
History repeated again if a Problem is not solved fully.
It's not BREXIT issue but Independence of N.I issue.
