I watch BBC London live via a VPN, the BBC NI schedule has Question Time on far too late! Clashing with the press conference in Brussels this week though!

I'm listening on BBC five live which broadcast it.

Jesus Christ the lads from the north are delusional. A guy talking about getting rights(I'm assuming he was gay ? I didn't catch all of his point) and some lads rambling on about the boogie man in the EU.

NI is an alternate reality. Both economically and socially. Decades of living under subsidies and non politics will do that

I thought she was a transgender woman?

Anyway, some crazy in a check shirt saying “if we have to, we go WTO”- sweet god, I do not want a united Ireland, I do not want to attempt to share a government with these people. The north is a mess and the best thing we can do is steer clear of it.

I know sure but you'd think with potentially a terrible situation for the north as an entity would sharpen the focus ?

Sorry I'm listening not watching so I'm only hearing people talk.

This is our deadline.

If you don't like that this is your next deadline.

EU have made an error.

Have they forgotten what had happened over the last two years?

NI is such a mess of a “society” I can’t see how you’d marry the south at all with it. It’s going to be a thorn in all our sides indefinitely

She said "Northern Ireland backstop". Ominous for the DUP.

Speaking as if it’s a reality!

Theresa May talking I'm assuming live on BBC five live. She's basically setting out what happened earlier.

jasper100

She opens banging on about legally binding clarifications on the backstop.

Has not changed her tune one bit on holding her vote next week and it being a success.

One track mind.

My deal.

My deal.

My deal.

McMurphy

Thought May was about to cry just now. She took a gulp of water and recovered slightly.

No. As long as you can get one up on “them uns “ that’s all that matters!
Such is the infantile state of NI. It’s not a real economy in any normal sense so economic sanity is way down the priority list

Did she ? BBC five live cut in as she was speaking so didn't catch the very start.

wirelessdude01

What day will she gone next week? Will she actually make it to MV3?

God I cant stand May's press conferences. It's like you can just record her first one and just play it at every conference going forward.

It's the same ****e just different day

Shelga

I’ve moved from the headbangers in NI to the headbanger in Brussels who is currently speaking.

Sorry for my short posts, mods, it’s all just moving so quickly though!

Absolutely deranged, all of them.

MikeSoys

what is she writing...whos she is allowing to ask a question?

Ah they're not that bad. The BBC probably had weeks to round up some nutters for the show. And they work really hard at getting their quota. They've even been recycling them.

jasper100

She is finally admitting they will have to put forward a new plan if there is no success for her deal next week. Accepting there is another way forward other than her deal or crash out.

gooch2k9

A bit suspect she is asking specific journalists to ask her questions...

I agree with you, I can’t watch these anymore, it’s painful and humiliating for the UK. She just drones over and over and over and over about how “my deal is the best deal for the UK”, and throws in several utterances of “let me be quite clear”, when she’s been anything but.

The EU has just made a crucial decision for her. She had absolutely zero power anymore. This is an abysmal failure on every imaginable level.

How soon will Scotland have an independence referendum?!

May made her bed. But she is banging a disastrous drum. Hope she is taking some propranolol to get her through this. That is just a drug to slow the heartrate and anxiety down. Used by lots of people especially those in the public eye/drama/opera etc.

I do not feel one bit sorry for her at all. But I do admire her tenacity. That is all.

She is talking rubbish at the press conference. Sorry but sounds rattled. She is playing to the ERG and nothing else really IMO. The only answer to this is to revoke A50 or get her deal through.

Will of the people ****e again.

theguzman

I have been saying it for a long time but a crash out is inevitable and they want this but also want to blame the EU for the short term disruption it will cause. No Deal here we come. A hard Brexit will be the only acceptable outcome. Arlene Foster has delivered for the DUP and the Brexiteers won the referendum and anything else other than a hard Brexit would be ant-democratic.

I remember when the EU said "This is the deal, no changes"

Now they have invited her to come back with something new.

Err....hello? Have they never met the Brits?

It’s pre arranged who and what will be asked.
