Political relations between UK-EU

[Tb1981]

It doesn’t matter if they are right. What matters is what you can do about it. In the case of Article 16, London can lodge a protest. Dublin can directly pressure the Commission to back down.

That’s the difference between membership and non membership.

It doesn’t matter if they are right????
If you are telling me Dublin can do more than London your talking shit
Dublin May bend over for the Eu and play lapdog over brexit but don’t act like they are any kind of major player.

Can’t we also sink the french fishing boat fleet because we think they might be smuggling back a vial of the AZ vaccine?

It would certainly get our quota of fishing boat posts back up in this thread

This is actually showboating by the EU as really it is purely symbolic as vaccines for NI are distributed from within the UK. The rationale is supposedly to prevent the UK from smuggling vaccines in from the EU by the back door.

It's risible nonsense but it has the potential to massively backfire.

Nope they didn’t. Uk gov and Oxford assisted AZ getting uk factory up to speed

I replied why earlier, that’s just pr. The U.K. site was always going to fulfil other orders too.

Dublin has more influence with the EU than London. Members states will always have more influence than non member states. That’s why they are members.
