- Are you over 80?

(Because you can’t even pay for it here. It’s bonkers. Government by ostriches basically.)

Folks, this is a deceptive design pattern. There is a very clear third option here (keep me updated on this campaign’s progress only) that is not implemented for marketing reasons.

I expect better from a platform that exists to effect ‘progressive change across Ireland’.

...to import duties, and does it really originate in the #UK?

I could see the #UK customers having to pay more now, as the #EU is a customs union that has signed #FTA|s with many countries. The #UK will not be able to replicate that. Still, these duties would not be levied in #Ireland, but the #UK.

So, where does it come from, and why has it...

#Ireland #Customs
#BrexitBrokeBritain

Seen from a sarcastic perspective, one could arrive at the conclusion that the #UK has finally begun to pay reparations for hundreds of years of #Brithish occupation, ending in independence in 1931.

Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Irish people could not be clearer. We are repulsed by your actions. Cease fire now and let the aid flow safely.”
