No, Turkey allows entry with EU ID cards.

There were arrests of Republicans under terrorism laws yesterday in Derry.
It looks as if evidence suggests a continual creeping increase in division and incidents in Northern Ireland, with the sea border providing a pivot for trouble in these times, a sea border created because of the people who voted leave.
The posters on here who pretend their referendum vote was actually a vote for Sinn Fein, as their main intention voting leave was to bring about a United Ireland, are to my mind disingenuous liars trying to retrofit a justification for their deliberately malicious vote.
Leave has not happened but trouble has increased.
Presumably leave voters are proud of that, as they declare they would vote leave again.

Absolutely, when we were in the EU I always thought we should have them in the UK. Social security number, health number and tax number all on one little plastic card,at a fraction of the cost of a passport.

Again Blair & Blunkett buggered it up as they wanted a load more info on the cards and the right to flog that info to the highest bidder, so there was rightly outrage and it never happened.

Yeah, they stopped the annual Easter Rising riot and replaced it with a border-in-the-Irish-Sea riot.

Whatever title you want to give it, it was trouble.
The present nascent troubles have been exacerbated by the vote to leave in my view.
I really don’t care how much you wish to sneer at my perspective, nor how fed up at how many times I repeat myself, all that does is to play the man not the ball to cover or distract from the disaster of the vote to leave.
Brandon Lewis, the Northern Ireland minister this morning said Johnson had ‘got Brexit done’ FFS, yet he is the minister for one of the most impacted areas where ‘leave’ has not happened.

Odd one . Was never a big one on freedom 9f movement side of things so don't know migration routes ....but having a processing point sub Sahara that can be accessed locally seems sensible to me.
As to the 0eople sent there from UK ..does have an out of sight out of mind danger to it wit regards to quality of life and accommodation issues. And such is the state of world, I 'know' I'm going to be shocked and appalled by the reality of it at some point in the future. But it bus some breathing room for the overstreched and deliapidated systems within the UK.You'd hope the window b4 it's all deemed unlawful is not squandered and repairs carried out

In fairness division in the north has accelerated since the signing of the GFA and it’s parity of esteem selling point has meant that people self identify as nationalist/unionist/other, with other been next to useless as their not counted.
That the loyalists haven’t been able to mobilise huge numbers, might suggest that for a majority of unionists are happy enough with the current arrangement. I suppose the elections will give a picture of where unionism stands but it won’t be cleat after the votes are counted.

You have a case to say that the GFA has polarised division in the North, but it has seemed to me to have been pushed to the extremes, and the mid ground has enjoyed a lot of physical peace since it's signing.
If the GFA has given an edge to division it has also lead to a huge softening of actual bloodshed.

I suspect any move to the unification of Ireland will be economic. Partition was so Great Britain could keep the prosperous, industrialised north. EU member ship levelled up, and diversified, the agricultural south as the north moved into post-Thatcherite de-industrialisation.
A south that is significantly more prosperous than the north may cause the unionists to consider choosing between their loyalty and their livelihoods. Whether Brexit will bring this about is a matter for conjecture.

Who’d of thought the UK/EU land border would be an issue after the victory by the vote to leave?
Coming up to six years after anti Irish racists voted leave they must be loving the ongoing turmoil.

It would’ve been shorter to declare ‘I and everybody else who voted leave say “fuck the Irish”’.

"Why should we treat this deal we signed as some kind of binding agreement? What does the word 'deal' mean, anyway? Is any of this real?" Brexit minister asks, coughing slightly as he passes the bong.
