Secondly, what is this 'we' - you didn't vote did you?

Wait! Hold the (big red £350m) bus! This must have passed me by. Gloria didn't even vote? No, it can't be so! Really?

Tuna may be getting Gloria confused with Purple Moonlight.
Both are Remainers, but only Glo voted. I stand to be corrected though.
Not sure I believe PM re voting tbh.

So as the EU is committed to preserving peace in Ireland, and the spirit of the GFA - will it make visitors who cross the border into the Republic exempt from its £6 EU entry fee?

Ah... my mistake. I understood he is not residing in the UK, and assumed that meant he hadn't voted.

He does currently reside in the UK.

The fact that you can state such with such authority doesn't surprise me in the slightest

That"s an interesting point.
Anyone know the answer?

Remainers will be offered the chance to stay EU citizens and will be exempt.

They will stamp the UK passports of brexiteers and charge them £12.

There will be no border controls as such - the home office will implement an iphone & andriod app that will charge or otherwise automatically as people cross the border.

PS Tuna - wrong, fancy that.

A simple " don't know" would have sufficed.

It was a question. I tried finding out by reading Guardian articles, but they don't talk about you very much so I had nothing to go on

There is no such thing as EU citizenship. The EU is not a state, yet.

In slashers head,, and only in slashers head, both the above exist.

Pure marketing. What does it say on the only page that anyone looks at?

"United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

It doesn't say European Union anywhere on the important page.

It also says:

Nationality "British Citizen".

Are we all going to get brand new blue ones (made in France) the day after we leave?

Why are you worried about colour and country of origin.?

I don't give a stuff.

They've been counted up and there are 208 border crossings along the 310 mile frontier between NI and ROI.

In comparison, there are apparently only 137 crossings along the entire border between the whole of the EU and all of the countries to the east of the bloc.

No physical border has suited so many so well for so long.
