It'll upset a lot of idiots, but in the long term, peace in Ireland is a much bigger thing that satisfying some dumbasses saying "no deal is the best deal".
You forget the European perspective in all of this. The damage is already done and it will grow exponentially, once Farage and his minions win the largest UK mandate in the European elections. As long as Britain doesn't leave, the likes of Farage strengthen the already rising European right and their potential for obstruction. I think, I speak for quite a lot of EU citizens who want to see the back of the UK sooner rather than later because of the implications of this.
As a British person, and somebody who has grown up feeling "European", I'm genuinely saddened to know that this thought process is out there. I'm not faulting you personally, but to know that [what a lot of people consider] out European cousins think of us at this time, is just heart breaking. I mean, yep we did it to ourselves, but those monsters don't represent us all.
I personally am voting in the European elections, and I HOPE that others will as well. I have seen that a lot of British people [Mainly younger members of the country] registered to vote for the elections, so here's hoping that we can expunge that toad looking creature from European parliament.
