"Mr President, the fallout from Brexit is fast and furious: sterling down to a 30-year low, a AAA rating gone, Scotland talking about leaving, and in Ireland we have our problems because the United Kingdom is our closest ally and our biggest trading partner.
The European Union spent millions helping to create peace in Northern Ireland. If the hard border is re-introduced, there is a danger it will play into the hands of extremism and all that good work could be undone again. For this, we can thank three people in particular: the three Musketeers – dithering David, bluffing Boris and ferocious Farage. They could not stop putting the boot into Europe, but now their legacy is that they have put the ‘dis’ into the United Kingdom – disunited geographically, generationally and politically.
For that, I think they should get a special award, and the award I would give them is the ‘wrecking ball’ award. I could not think of three people who deserve it more."@en1
