Brexit deadline
2/1/21 is the deadline, 45 days from now. Johnson has pressure from everyone, and it's looking very ugly!
Thoughts?

Originally posted by RobtardIf a deal isn't reached by the 2nd of January, it'll be a no deal Brexit. That could be bad for US economy, EU economy and UK economy...or not? I mean, that's literally the beginning of the January sales where everyone starts selling their Amazon Luna and iPhone 12 max pro 5Gs...etc.
Bit confused, I thought you people had already lite the Brexit fuse not long after Bojo was elected and it was happening no matte what?Please explain what happens on 2/1/21.
So the pressure is Johnson needs to form a deal before then that'll suit the UK, the EU and the US. Biden (catholic, loves Ireland) phoned Johnson regarding the whole thing.
If Johnson can't come up with a deal, it might mean US and EU do business directly and the UK misses out. (side note, this could also mean COVID vaccines...) Then there's the issue of the Irish border and what that means for international imports, migration and foreign policy.
I've said for a long time that I think NI should be a part of Ireland and the UK should still trade with the EU and the US...with a few exceptions I'm not even going to get into now. It's also been known that most immigrants from not only Europe and the US, but really the whole world get British citizenship by first getting Irish citizen due the the loopholes in the good Friday agreement. Then there's the fisheries where Ted Heath signed off British waters as common good for the EU when he joined the EEC and claims he doesn't want to be another Ted Heath.
There's so much to cover Rob, but all eyes on what Johnson's exit deal is if he does give one, and what the fvck will happen or the consequences.

You mean Northern Ireland citizenship, right?
Irish people from the republic don't have an easy time getting British Citizenship. Unless you know a way I haven't heard of, which honestly, I hope you do? A commonwealth passport would make it 10x easier for me to go back to Canada.

Last part was a joke, incase the thick people didn't get it.

Oh okay. But that would involve living and working in NI for a few years. I mean, eww.

haermm You have to elaborate on that.
Because Ireland used to be part of the UK, there used to be a way to literally be grandfathered in and get a UK passport if you were born before a certain year. Now, yeah, it would involve moving to NI for a while... a place with a shit economy and **** all job prospects.

So, what's your opinion on the situation, Pr? United Ireland or another more complex good Friday agreement that satisfies everyone/no one?

lol np.
Honestly, the easiest thing to do would be to adjust the GFA so nobody gets ****ed over. NI is too economically volatile to be absorbed by the Republic, especially with covid. And there's the question of how many people in Northern Ireland want to actually be part of Ireland too. There are just as many, if not more, unionists who want to stay in the UK, than there are Catholics that want to leave and join Ireland.
