2024: Ireland accuses Israel of genocide. Israel ends diplomatic relations with Ireland. Ireland’s membership in the EU protects it from punitive sanctions from Israel’s allies

2025: The UK starts dumping non-EU-compliant goods into the EU customs zone through Ireland, undercutting EU producers. The EU moves to suspend Ireland from the Customs Union. Ireland calls on the EU for diplomatic backup. Germany replies “lol get rekt antisemites”. Ireland is reunited as an economic satellite of the UK, a century or so after independence

The UK starts dumping non-EU-compliant goods into the EU customs zone through Ireland, undercutting EU producers. ~~The EU moves to suspend Ireland from the Customs Union.~~

Europe decides that the UK has fucked around enough and should find out.
France moves street signs in Calais, starving the British economy of Polish workers.
Spain closes itself to English tourists.
Germany threatens to create a financial transparency register, causing international oligarchs to panic.

The government relents and gives northern Ireland to Ireland.
