The Text Says

Notes (key concepts, direct quotes, etc.)

Recklessly, casually, with barely a thought,

English nationalists have planted a bomb
under the settlement that brought peace to
Northern Ireland and close cordiality to
relations between Britain and Ireland.
It will, if the Brexiters demands to take back
control of immigration to the UK are meant
seriously, have to be heavily policed to keep
EU migrants who have lawfully entered the
Republic from moving into the UK.

Can someone be both an EU citizen and not an

EU citizen?
Northern Ireland desperately needed a
generation of relative political boredom, in
which ordinary issues such as taxation and the
health service rather than the unanswerable
questions of national identity could become
the stuff of partisan debate. Brexit has made
that impossible.
It is the beginning of the breakup of the union
and the rise of an independent England for
which Northern Ireland will be no more than a
distant nuisance.

My notes, commentary
The author brings in the pain of the troubles in
Northern Ireland but including a reference to

Bombs were often times used.
Whether or not entry into Northern Ireland
from the Republic requires some type of stop
will something worth noting. As I said before,
there is currently no restrictions of entering the
UK from the republic. However, now that the
UK is leaving the EU, what does this mean for
traveling? Will the EU still allow U.K citizens the
same luxury of traveling easily from country to
country?
My questions above brings us to this point.
Residents of Northern Ireland can chose to be
a UK citizen or not. So what will this mean in
the future?
Just as the it dies down, the kettle is stirred
again causing the question of whether or not
Northern Ireland should unify with the rest of
Ireland.

Will Great Britain lose some its status in the

world because of Brexit?

During our trip I began to think about how I view other countries in the world and how those
other countries view the United States. I started to think about how so many times
countries are put into situations that are so similar to a time before. We say we study
