A thread imagining how an Irish EU exit would affect the UK tells you all you need to know

14.

14/ Imagine the GFA unraveled and it led to a return of violence? Would the UK say it is the UK at fault or would it say it flows from choices made by the ROI Government?

15/ Imagine if ROI representatives said the only solution would be for the UK to leave the EU. How would the UK react?

16/ Imagine if the ROI Government published a list of no deal notices to cover its arse while the UK Government offered financial and other support to those affected by no deal?

17/ Imagine if the ROI used EU citizens as “bargaining chips” and called them “citizens of nowhere”. What message would that send to the EU and the world?

18/ Imagine if the ROI kept saying that it will become “Global Ireland”?

19/ Imagine if ROI’s original decision to leave was riddled with breaches of electoral law and Russian interference? Imagine if Russian “tourists” started using Novichok in Cork on a “day out”

20/ Imagine if the ROI turned motorways into lorry parks and started stockpiling food and medicine

21/ Imagine if the ROI developed Project Gool to ship supplies in?

22/ Imagine if all flights between the ROI and the EU were at risk of being grounded

23/ Imagine if the ROI and the EU agreed a joint report about how to prevent a hard border and the ROI passed an act of Parliament withdrawing from the EU which included a legal commitment like this pic.twitter.com/bBaeY1IMhL

24/ Imagine if the ROI turned round and said we did not understand the report and were duped?

25/ What do you think the UK position would be?

— Alexander (@37paday) October 27, 2018

It’s some thought-provoking stuff, and people added some extra points.

Exactly. Imagine Irish politicians airily informing the British that the way to solve the border issue was for the UK to leave too. The outrage would trigger earthquakes.

A few more for you.

Imagine if a significant proportion of UK’s imports/exports to the EU mainland were at risk because they were routed across a land bridge in Ireland?

And finally…

Imagine if Ireland’s decision to leave the EU threatened to take 6-8% off UK GDP, was made with no consultation of UK interests whatsoever, and UK was expected not just to go along with it, but to provide actual support for it?

— Gerry from Mayo 🇮🇪🇪🇺 (@unlaoised) October 27, 2018

It has received strong support.

Worth reading this thread – and thinking about it… https://t.co/YprNo9Udxt

Tris Charnley urged us to consider another vote to appreciate the UK’s position in the world.

If you want to see how the rest of the world sees us look no further than the Eurovision Song Contest.
