This has happened in Northern Ireland because Northern Ireland is still in the EU Single Market and Customs Union.

To fix the problem, it needs to leave the Single Market and Customs Union like the rest of the country. Brexit is causing many great things in the rest of the UK.

The Irish are a dopey, gullible lot.

The Republic of Ireland - the EU's little lapdog - has offered to pay for Northern Irish students to take part still in the EU's Erasmus Scheme. This allows 10,000 EU students a year to attend any EU university they want to. Many British students were scared that Brexit would mean they'd not be able to take part in Erasmus.

Yet the newly-independent UK has replaced the Erasmus Scheme with its own Turing Scheme - which is vastly superior. It allows 35,000 British students each year to study anywhere in the WORLD, such as at a US Ivy League university.

So the mugs in the Irish Republic are offering to pay for Northern Irish students to attend Erasmus even though the UK has set up a far superior scheme.

You have to laugh

What's the shortage of food in Northern Ireland got to do with Brexit?

It's not Brexit that has caused the shortages on Northern Ireland. It's the opposite: it's Northern Ireland still remaining in the EU's Customs Union and Single Market.

Walmart in Courtenay looked just like that two weeks ago. Pretty sure the banana republic of Comox Valley never joined the EU.
