It’s time Leo Varadkar, the Irish PM, received a nomination. Up to now, I’ve ignored this insignificant little gobshite. But after his latest attempt at showing the world what a big man is, I can’t ignore him anymore, he’s a cunt of monumental proportions. Since we voted to leave the EU, Varadkar has made many threats about what Ireland would if we pressed ahead with Brexit. None of them have any substance, because he’s not the big shot political leader he thinks he is.
I’m nominating him now, because his latest threat is so ridiculously stupid I can’t help but wonder if he has ANY higher brain functions. He really is the Abbottopotamus’s Irish cousin. Following on from his other threats, this political pygmy is threatening to ban all UK flights heading across the Atlantic from Irish airspace in the event of a no deal Brexit. You can just tell that this knob has not thought things through before shooting his mouth off, because there are several problems that he would face if he did ban UK flights.
First of all, overflight rights are not guaranteed by the EU. They are guaranteed by a multilateral treaty which predates the EU, and was signed by both the UK and Irish Republic. The ONLY way Varadkar could make good on that promise, would be to withdraw the Irish republic from the treaty. The problem with doing that, is that there are 131 other countries besides the UK and Ireland who have signed that treaty, and he would have to ban them too.
Worse still for Ireland, is the threat of retaliation from the UK. As it stands, most flights between Ireland and the EU come through UK airspace, and practically ALL vehicles travelling between Ireland and the EU have to go through England. If Irish planes and ground traffic were banned from travelling through UK airspace or using English ports, Irelands economy would be well and truly fucked.
I can understand Varadkar being concerned with the consequences of a no deal Brexit, the IMF recently announced that a hard Brexit would cost the EU £200 billion per year, and Ireland would be the worst hit. Rather than try to find a workable solution though, Varadkar has decided to hurl insults at us and make numerous threats, all of which are retarded. None of them have taken into the UK’s ability to hurt Ireland far more than Ireland can hurt us. For the most part, the EU has been silent whenever Varadkar has run his mouth off. This time though, numerous politicians from the EU and from member states have been united in the scorn. Someone needs to tell him to either start thinking before he throws out his threats, or shut the fuck up.
