Brexit deadline

Why do you think NI is in the shitter, causality-wise.

Honestly, as good as the GFA has been, I feel like the shadow of "The Troubles" still hasn't been escaped. Years of bad management from both the people in charge in NI (the DUP are ***** btw) and in Westminster on top of that has put the country in very bad shape. Brexit is just the final nail in the coffin, imo.

And now they're in this weird limbo where, despite what Boris and May said, there is essentially a sea border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.

Then they should be -or have been- forming negotiations with Ireland and end this silly mess.

I agree. They should have, but they were never interested in doing it, and now look what it's got them. NI is already suffering because they just weren't ready for Brexit, and the deal coming so late in the game has meant all kinds of shenanigans.

I'm sure it will smooth it in time, but it won't be overnight, sadly.

U.S.A remove tariffs on Scotch whisky.

1. Scotland gets more sales and money!
2. Americans can enjoy Scotch easier!

Go Brexit; go Biden.

Did the US get something in return?

[edit]
I see, this is about punitive tariffs. The UK dropped its tariffs against Boeing and in turn the US dropped its tariffs against Scotch Whisky.

Not sure.

I believe it was a good choice ☺️

More Scotch whisky for you 😛

Still waiting on the deadline

It would be easy to just blame Johnson, but the EU isn't helping matters either.

Yes I get what you're saying. I sympathize.
