  • I can’t tell if you lack the ability to infer things or you’re just being deliberately disingenuous. Obviously in this fictional scenario, with mainland GB taken over by a hostile regime, the CTA will be suspended. And given the population disparity between the island of Ireland and mainland GB, it won’t be long before the number of refugees exceeds what Ireland/NI can accept. So no, you’re not going to get a legitimate way in anytime soon.

    So the question again is, would you rat out your mate Barry because he’s, according to your logic, a bad person?

    Would you happily live in a refugee camp in France indefinitely, when you have the chance to sneak into Ireland to live in a house with family, and you can speak the language?


  • Lack of corruption! Have you been living under a rock?

    Okay, how about this. You and your mates are on holiday in Australia. You see on the news that zomg! Britain has been taken over by the Shakiras! It’s now under Shakira law!!!

    You try to get a flight home, but the flight terminates in France. The shakiras threaten to kill or imprison anyone who tries to get into Britain.

    Your mate Barry pulls you aside and tells you a bunch of them are going to get on a dinghy tonight to Ireland. Ireland has already said no more refugees, but he knows a way to smuggle you in. You’ve got some cousins there, you can stay with them and maybe find a job.

    You’ve got the choice. Stay in France where you don’t know anyone and can’t speak the language.

    Or take a risk and get the dinghy to Ireland where you can speak the language and have family and have a greater chance at getting a job.

    Would you stay in France because it’s “safe” and condemn any Brits trying to make it to their family in Ireland? Would you rat out your mate Barry because he must be a bad person for wanting to live somewhere he can adjust to more easily? For wanting to have family or friends to support him?
