Please don’t think my posts are against the GFA.I think you miss the genius of the GFA and how difficult it was to put together a bit of legislation as you refer to it, that satisfied the aspirations of both communities in the North, all in the South and the foresight of carrying those aspirations into a future electorate.
Naw sheriff naw.Seriously - do you think that there was anything in what either of you have said that I was suggesting appeared badly off-topic or objectionable?
Well said - needed sayingI’m not a racist **** Vic so I wouldn’t mind.
They have to pass the English test so they’ll be able to speak it to the required level.
Would being treated by a Somalian nurse make you uncomfortable?
Seriously though - do you think that I was referring to posts from either of you?Naw sheriff naw.
Well where SWP works the use the standard international language of English for foreign speakers, I don’t think it’s comparable than say, going to work in France.Learn the language, get a 'sponsor', (maybe have to pay them a 'fee'), pay a grand for visa, pass a Britishness' test, have £1500 spare savings.......
How many people do you know, that work abroad, speak the language of said country?
I doubt @SWP's back has test standard Arabic? I have family working in Dubai, Norway, Poland and liverpool and not one of them can speak the local lingo.
Seriously can two Irish lads not have a bit a laugh? No offence intended.Seriously though - do you think that I was referring to posts from either of you?
It was not the history that I found inappropriateWithout wishing to further divert the thread with history, but as it was when a border commission was first set up a hundred years ago, currently 4 of the 6 counties have a Catholic majority.
The border was never a logical solution and still isn’t.
This is an overly simplistic view of the situation and equating free trade with freedom of movement is a little disingenuous.It is determined by Govt officials, by definition this is neither flexible nor adaptable.
We are a Services economy, services are people, this is an attempt by the State to manage the economy. Just as Brexit is an attempt to manage new friction in trade, this is an attempt to manage friction in people.
You cannot manage friction anywhere near to the same efficiency as you can by eliminating friction. You eliminate friction by removing Govt from the equation. This is even more true with countries and economies in close proximity to ourselves.
That is just the reality.
Think that you have badly missed the point TBHSeriously can two Irish lads not have a bit a laugh? No offence intended.
Well you should really depending on where you wish to go.I mean, the idea the English need to learn the language before they can work in a different country is hilarious, none of us would leave this island and I include myself in that.
