The rest of the just want it done at this stage. The UK has become a basket case, not unlike the posts that you've been making. It's unfortunate that Ireland will be caught up in it, but TBH I just want it done now too. There's too much lunacy come from the uk side and it needs a root and stem approach now.

And Ireland will build a border if necessary.....we're not some rogue state.....

Leo can’t build a children’s hospital .

Leo could build a photo shoot border and sweet fook all else:eek:

The ulster unionists layed out what seemed like a solution the other day. I'll ttry to find the radio link. I felt it was all very reasonable.

In short (and i don't do it justice)
No border checks
It is illegal to transport goods across border without correct paperwork etc - therefore a crime - therefore people doing it are prosicuted heavly as deterrent
EU & Ire keep saying they need backstop as an insurance - so UK simply provide the insurance i.e. if goods arrive in the EU through the UK then UK pays compensation (thats what insurance is) and could be vice versa. That will motivate authorities to ensure it doesn't happen.

....But i know it is silly coming up with solutions as the border issue is Irelands insurance about keeping UK in a customs arrangement with them - a red herring

In short, it was 'trust us, we are British'.

Getting little traction. Deservedly. UUP are having severe difficulty trying to be relevant.

One for every County and why leave out the 6 .:D

The Eu does not seem interested in negotiations . They do not seem in any way concerned about the 26 Counties . Very worrying times .

The 'negotiating' is over. If the UK come up with alternatives 'as promised' then they can be re-opened.

It's very simple really. Honest and concise statements on this have been repeatedly stated by the EU since the deal was agreed.
A deal that has not yet been formally rejected by those who 'wish to leave'. :rolleyes:

Thats why Boris wants a General election and its why re-moaners are gone in to hiding under duvets /rocks / etc today with regard to a General election .:D

I suppose nobody believed that the Eu would play so fast and lose with the interests of the 26 Counties .

It’s hard to believe that the Eu cares so little about the 26 Counties . Its as if its of no importance to them .

This is delusional nonsense.

We will know if Boris wants a GE if he asks for one.

We currently have no certainty whatsoever what Boris actually wants.

He is clearly in a lose lose situation....if he speaks out he will be told by BJ/DUP etc to stay out of it....

I am not a huge Leo Varadkar fan but he has handled things as well as he could have been expected to RE this.

Also why the hell are you so obsessed with Leo being on his knees....

There shouldn't be a peep out of us about Brexit plans until we know what shape the Brexit is going to take.

One part of that puzzle should be clearer by Friday or is it just a different puzzle?

I suppose the Eu has him tied up and locked away somewhere . Its not as if he could actually be trusted to run the 26 Counties .

He was interviewed about the current positions as recently as yesterday. You are just behaving like a child now.

Temporary release . He must have a sun bed where they have him stashed . He was blinking in the daylight !

He had that untanned area around the eyes . Anyway so long as he is preparing for the photo shoots :eek:

Control your excitement, blinding. The correct explanation is much less titillating. Varadkar is observing Napoleon's advice never to interrupt an opponent while he is in the process of making a mistake.

The 26 Counties had better hope that Leo is a lucky General:eek:

What can we say? So far he's played a blinder, which is more than can be said for any of the shower running the misbegotten Brexit project.

The history books will record how hard Brexiters worked to destroy Brexit.

BBC live feed on Parliament the soap.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-politics-49557734

@10.36 looks at possible outcomes, each one progressively worse!

Firstly he could table a motion of no confidence in his own government to trigger an election. This avenue only requires a simple majority but there is still no guarantee it would get the required support.

Secondly, Mr Johnson could simply sit on the no-deal legislation passed in the Commons to prevent it from gaining royal assent and becoming law. However, MPs would almost certainly take him to court over this and seek a judicial review, which they would most likely win.

Stevieluvsye · 03-09-2019 10:49am

First of all it is Coveney and not Leo who has served us to the most parts in this process and secondly, Britain will be fine whatever the outcome. It's the 5th biggest economy in the world.

All i will say however is that a GE is a cert for next month

How many times does this need to be repeated?

They were fifth.
Then in an act of complete stupidity, held a vote to leave the largest trading bloc in the world, then spent three years arguing internally while the world looked on bemused. During that period they fell to seventh. Give it a bit more time and they'll most likely fall further!
