I think some people on here imagining Britain carpet bombing Ireland are having too much of their red wine a little too early this week. It is only Thursday.

Thankfully Syria wasn't in the EU and didn't decide to leave even though it wasn't a member. Or Britain along with the USA and Israel would have bombed vast areas of it back to the Stone Age.

Oh yeah. We did anyway. And Syria didn't do a thing to the UK.

Syria wasn't in the EU.
Nor was Iraq.
Nor was Libya.

None of them did a single thing to have any material impact (however "imaginary") on Britain and its jobs or economy. Nothing, that is, bar provide lots of jobs for British Engineers and Oil Workers.

But we carpet bombed them.

Playing "let's imagine" is so much easier than playing "let's actually look."

Isn't it though? Just to be clear... you're the only person here imagining that.

I suggested the British tabloids would be up in arms and screaming blue murder if Ireland made a decision that caused as much harm to the UK as brexit is causing us. I suggested the tabloids and those in their comments sections would be making extreme statements and extreme demands.

I certainly didn't suggest there'd be actual carpet-bombing. You did that all yourself.

But maybe you think The Sun and The Mail, along with their already virulent readers-comments sections, would take such a set of circumstances calmly. Perhaps you think Nigel Farage and the tory right wing would be taking a measured approach and not making any inflammatory statements at all.

And you are more than welcome to think those things. But I suspect most of the "imagining" is happening at your end.
