(As usual) BJ won’t last long. He’ll be gone by the autumn as his extreme ineptitude will shine through when the real crisis starts in Europe.
Britain will be back on a more correct path for itself then I reckon.
This is what happens when your country is stuck in the past.
Britain’s culture is most similar to our’s. I worked around Europe for a few years & always looked forward to meeting the teams from the UK, pints, sports, humour, music it is all so closely aligned.
No travelling now since 2016 (thank fuck!) & noticed Irish who are returning back to work here love to talk UK politics; but very few care here anymore. The UK is a basket case who we can’t really help, we’ve our own problems to sort.
Sometimes I think the UK electoral system is more to blame for this than anything else.
Look at the last general election there, which was considered a Tory landslide. The Tories got 43% of the vote, but if you add Labour, the Lib Dems and the SNP together they got something like 47%.
I know in a parliamentary system the national vote isn’t always he best measure, but even so, you’d think if they had multi-member constituencies and PR the political landscape there might look very different. Just like in the US, the system seems to be set up to keep a radical minority in power.
Maww, but they used to be the bestest of friends! *tear*
Nooooooooooooo!

Good. I’d much rather we align ourselves closer with the EU27 than those clowns.
I agree with some points in the article, but to add a few of my own: politically Irish and UK politics have apart for years. Some parties tried to copy approaches from the British parties and they certainty did not succeed. Irish and British politicians have less reason to even meet, let alone communicate and work together. So the drift is going to get bigger. Same with business and civil servants. For the business community it will easier to sell to the rest of EU rather than the UK. Still London attracts a lot of people from the arts, accounting, finance and banking sectors there are strong links there.
Good. Living next to them is like being handcuffed to a maniac.
The relationship got off to a rocky start to be fair. At the wedding many a hushed voice remarked “I give it 800 years”
Britain = England and Wales
Ireland has rarely if ever got along with Tory led Britain, the biggest repair in our relationship happened under Labour and now has been torn up again
Tbh I’m glad
They should check out how many young Irish people are living in London and how many English people(non-Irish descent) are living here, first.
