Wait, he's trying to move INTO Europe and indeed the euro-zone? Do make him feel welcome first, so we can be sure he's gone. After that I hope everyone refuses to deal with him unless he speaks in fluent Gaelic.

If he's moving from the UK to Ireland, he's merely moving from one European country to another. If he was say, Chinese or American, THEN he would be moving INTO Europe.

OK, pedant point. Into the EU. But I was also referencing the frequent Brexit view that treats the two as synonymous and claims Britain (implicitly ignoring NI) isn't a part of Europe.

Not a pedant point as it is the British who generally treat the EU and Europe as the same. That's because many British people (I've met them) don't regard themselves as European for reasons nobody else understands.

Apologies, I should have thrown a 🤔 in there. But Fox is the epitome of the moronic right who see "Europe" as a separate continent, one and the same as the EU, and the UK as distinct. - of course, he may not have realised Ireland is part of Europe in all senses... British Isles, innit.
