Watch how many hypocrites post a religious Easter message and then display anything but Christian values the rest of the year. Love, compassion, forgiveness etc seem to be short supply most of the time. Chancers.

So what's the deal with Northern Ireland and Trump's blanket tariffs? 1. Under the Windsor Framework, the Brexit deal for NI, Northern Ireland is part of the UK customs territory. Goods produced in NI are treated as UK goods. So, NI exports to the US should be treated like any other UK export.
