Why do you insist on using the word 'enemy' ?

There's no meat in their sausages.

The key is in the behaviour. They are hardly friendly towards us. They are angry, not least because they no longer have our financial contribution.
However, they brought it about themselves when they sent Cameron back with his tail between his legs after he put a pretty tame list of feeble demands to them. They overplayed their hand, and now they are paying the price.
If they haven’t learned their lesson they will do the same with Northern Ireland.

Re: Britain outside the EU
I regard Russia the "enemy" - they carried out poisonings in the U.K., use disinformation campaigns to stir up unrest and undermine democracy - the EU are just carrying out standard economic negotiation tactics.

Which were nothing to do with the Irish Government... 
After 1922, the IRA (and all it's barsteward offshoots) was outlawed by the Irish Government.

Someone was always going to say that.
But the Irish generally still carry (to varying degree) the chip on their shoulder of the days when the country was getting a raw deal from the British. Varadkar epitomises the boot being on the other foot.
I have no hesitation in calling him the Enemy. Same goes for that duplictous and perfidious Macron.

What was wrong with Cameron's feeble deal?

The Irish actually had a Civil War after Independence, with the IRA fighting the Free State Army - the only people with a chip on their shoulder are the Old Guard who wanted a whole island Irish State, the rest don’t feel acrimoniously towards the Brits (speaking as someone from an Irish Catholic background, with lots of family in Ireland).

Well, Varadkar will do as the enemy, then.
