I am certain. It. Will. Not. Happen.
How does immigration control work? It doesn’t. The Tories don’t give a fuck, never have and never will. And what does Albania have to do with anything? They’re not in the EU so they’d get stopped at the Irish border and sent back. That’s why they’re crossing the Channel; because it’s easier.
Why would a Polish person illegally come to the UK When they can just work legally anywhere in the EU?
Your arguments are full of holes because of what you said: you have no idea what you’re talking about. The best you can come up with is a bunch of stuff the Tories didn’t do.
This legislation wouldn’t even leave the Commons if they tried. Charles Walker and David Davis are only the most obvious names that would stop it.
And no, Labour have no interest in this issue whatsoever once they get into power. They have more important things to do.
There is absolutely no need to get aggressive/annoyed.
If you don't want to engage, then leave the thread. It's not like there'll be a red bubble reminding you about it.
We're having a conversation about something that neither of us are certain about, thus there is no correct answer here.
> Let me be very clear: the government has balked at every single initiative that would violate the Good Friday Agreement, for good reason. They’re not about to suddenly change tack here.
Are we talking about the Irish government here? Cos I definitely remember the UK gov attempting to pass a whole bunch of stuff that would violate the GF/Belfast agreement since 2016. In fact, I believe that the Lords is the only reason they haven't.
> If the Government starting checking ferries from Belfast to Stranraer, unionists would start burning ports just like they did in 2021. You can’t provide evidence for any of your guesses because it doesn’t exist. I don’t know why you waste your time trying to continue the “debate.”
Perhaps, I personally wouldn't like to see it.
However, how does immigration control work if they don't? If an Albanian/Polish person can go to Dublin, cross the border and then head to the UK on a ferry and work illegally, then ultimately the UK government will have to do something. I have no special insight into what they'll do, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it involved passport/ID checking.
Lets remember that the UK government basically don't give a toss about NI, as evidenced by the last seven years post the Brexit vote.
