Teenagers in Northern Ireland hope to profit from smuggling if there is a no-deal Brexit.
Teenagers in Northern Ireland have said they are pinning their hopes on a no-deal Brexit so they can profit from smuggling everyday household items across the border.
‘That the British Government were happy to risk peace in Northern Ireland for Brexit will never be forgotten over here so it will be near enough a patriotic duty to fiddle the system.’ At present, goods and services are traded between the two jurisdictions on the island of Ireland with few restrictions.
The teenager told Metro.co.uk: ‘Some members of my family were in the IRA, they used the land and their knowledge to further the struggle, and move weapons across the border, what they would think now? ‘But if there is a new type of border and things start to be different either side of it then I will wait and see what I can make the most money from and smuggle that.‘Or, I will just charge people to take whatever they want me to across the border, that might be easier.’The Borderland store near the Irish border in Muff, Ireland
