Irish border: The 'oxymoron' that could derail Brexit


As BREXIT are still in the talks, and processing we now see why Ireland is being part if it’s problem. It looks like the border is currently invisible, with no boarder control and traffic can run smoothly and no military check point. What’s the problem here, that BREXIT would leave Northern Ireland outside of the EU, which mean any goods going in would need to be inspected and it’ll require a tariff. But the EU thinks Northern Ireland should remain inside the internal market.

    I found this article to be refreshing to read, compared to the drama around the US and Mexico border conversation (which thankfully, has mostly died down). I understand their concern about having a hard border vs a soft border. An obvious solution would be to go back to a more strict boarder control agreement, but it seems like they have been ok with how it has been. My go to answer would be if it's not broke, don't fix it. They stated in the article that the soft border has allowed easier commerce, and if they impose harsher border restrictions it would slow down trade and transportation which could have a bold impact on their already rocky economy when Brexit rolls in.

    I found this very interesting. Its crazy to think in some countries there still is border issues. I just assumed everywhere already had that established decades ago.

    Border squirmishes and disagreements continue all over the globe. Between Estonia and Russia, for example. The South China Sea, Arctic area, Russia/Ukraine/Crimea, and more. When it comes to Ireland and Northern Ireland (Britain), BREXIT completely changes the way that goods can flow according to taxes, tariffs and transport!

The Royal Paradise Papers of Inequality

On the 5th of November 2017 the second largest data leak in history occurred. Confidential documents containing details of offshore investments were made public and included some prominent names such as Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth amongst others.   The premise of the Paradise Papers is an exposé “on how wealthy individuals and companies use offshore accounts to make their fortunes untraceable and unreachable.” The leak was always going to have political implications across the globe but the involvement of British corporations, individuals as well as monarchy will likely bear particular significance on the future of British politics. Why? Because inequality has been one of the major political talking points in the UK for the past few years. The issue of inequality appears to be on the heart and minds of britons and is generally seen as one of the major driving forces behind the majority leave vote during the EU referendum. In June 2017, the issue of inequalit...

Brexit: More than 120 MPs accuse Government of keeping everyone 'in the dark'

120 MP's signed a letter accusing the government of keeping the public and parliament in the dark. The Brexit minister David Jones already confirmed that officials have carried out more than 50 unpublished studies on how EU divorce will impact on different sectors. This is not looking good for the British government and more pressure will be on them in the coming days for them to release and publish their findings. One member of parliament, MP David Lammy, who helped co-ordinate the letter, says “So we are calling on the Government to come clean and publish these studies so we can have a full and frank debate about the impact of Brexit with all the facts and analysis out in the open”.
