EU's Tusk accuses UK PM Johnson of pushing towards post-Brexit Irish border controls

BRUSSELS - European Council President Donald Tusk said on Tuesday British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s demands to drop the Brexit backstop came with no “realistic alternatives” and amounted to seeking a return to controls along the sensitive Irish border.

“The backstop is an insurance to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland unless and until an alternative is found,” Tusk said on Twitter. “Those against the backstop and not proposing realistic alternatives in fact support re-establishing a border. Even if they do not admit it.” The EU wants to ensure that its only land border with the United Kingdom after Brexit does not become a back door for goods to enter the EU’s single market - which guarantees free movement of goods, capital, services and labor.

The backstop was a key reason for the British parliament refusing on three occasions to ratify the withdrawal deal reached by May’s government with the EU in late 2018. May resigned in July and Johnson took office with a pledge to carry out Brexit by Oct.31 with or without a transition deal.

The protectionism is the EU

EU imposing there rules on the Republic of Ireland

The EU won’t offer the U.K. a good deal until they have both feet out the door. Right now they are trying to punish them for leaving.

On UK PMs continent, as he views Europe, there are already sent invitations to celebrate on the beaches farewell parties on October 31, 2019. There will be French wine, German beer and Dutch chips served. Brits are welcome to celebrate their leave with us. Music: We'll meet again

And if so, that’s absolutely rightful. There is no reason not to have a full, controlled border between EU members and non-members. The fearmongering about “bloody Sunday returning” is complete nonsense.

No deal it is which suits me down to the ground 😀🤗 October 31st 🇬🇧🎉🍾🇬🇧 LeaveOct31 brexit eu uk

This is the reality

don't trust this man! he ruined Polish economy

Conscience is the fundamental pillar of a harmonious society. Conscience promotes mutual understanding, trust and cooperation among people and nations to build a world of peace, harmony and brotherhood.

Just when you come to the conclusion that Johnson is a complete moron, he manages to push the boundary further out again....

Fightings in Northern Ireland will start again 😢

It will be the EU that will be imposing its external borders in the Island that is an Island. UK Parliament USA Ireland brexitparty_uk WTO Brexit

and again Tusk is right. Johnson is deliberately looking to again bring violence to Ireland. Because in his english only view of the world the lives of Scots, Welsh and Irish people are worth nothing grub powermad Racist

Perfidious Albion. And he's right not to trust us.
