Brexit supporters divided on the best way to fuck Northern Ireland
LONDON — After months of contentious debates and cabinet shake-ups, Brexit supporters have still not come to a consensus on the best way to really screw Northern Ireland.
“I don’t know what we could have done differently,” said Prime Minister Theresa May. “It’s almost as if the Conservative Party shouldn’t be in coalition with a militantly sectarian party that opposed the Good Friday agreements.”
The problems with Brexit in Northern Ireland centre around how to keep a soft border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, after voters in England and Wales decided to remove Northern Ireland from the European Union. Multiple plans have been proposed, including “the backstop”, “the backstop backstop”, and “backstop infinity”.
“Now that we know how badly we’ve screwed ourselves over, our only recourse is to screw over Northern Ireland even worse,” declared Boris Johnson, MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip and prominent supporter of leaving the EU. “I wonder if there’s a way to force them to have an East and West Ireland too?”
“I really don’t see the big deal,” stated London UKIP supporter Jennifer Darla. “It’s not like anything bad happened in Northern Ireland when there was a hard border.”
While the process has been arduous, Brexit supporters remain positive that once the United Kingdom does leave the European Union, all of the nation’s problems will immediately go away.

Amazing what a minority of voters can do with a simple majority win for something so monumental. There were many good reasons to brexit because the issues were out of control of the sovereignty of the UK. But this referendum crap has not contributed anything good for anybody, but the hedge fund managers.
What a fuck up the whole Brexit has turned into. It was Ill conceived from the beginning, unnecessary and divisive, and it is going to do what almost 40 years of terrorism couldn’t, the reunification of Ireland. This of course, is the opposite of what the DUP want, but are so thick, bigoted and myopic that even now they can’t see it. The border had ceased to be a burning issue since the Good Friday Agreement and the Republic had dropped the articles in their constitution which laid claim to the six counties in N. Ireland. Because both parts of Ireland were in the EU there was really no border at all, I myself travel back and forward over it regularly, it’s only half an hour or so from where I live. You can only tell you have crossed the border when the road signs give the distances in kilometres instead of miles. My only hope is that when Parliament votes down May’s deal, another referendum is called or a general election....which would require the halting of the withdrawal process. Crashing out without a deal is insanity, but then most Brexiteers are crazed with nostalgia for a Britain that only ever existed in their heads.
