Brilliant strategy. Tell the EU that if they don’t give us what we want we’ll do our best to shit on one of their members. Bound to work.
Back in the real world, if we actually did do that, the EU as a whole would provide the necessary support to Ireland until they rebalance their economy so they are not so dependent on us. Ireland’s economy is 2% of the size of the EU as a whole so they’d not find it too difficult to do that. There’s no-one out there that’ll do the same for us so we’ll be flogging off the NHS to the Americans in no time.
