    I said someone "like" Farage, who will leave no matter what on 31st Oct. I did not say I would like him specifically.

    Looks like the Phoney War is over . Both Boris and Hunt dumping the backstop in the Garbage Bin .

    Britain soon to take its Freedom from the Eu Empire . Its always brilliant when a Country gets its freedom from an Empire .

    Arise , Sir Nigel Farage for this tremendous achievement . Truly Great Freedom Fighting there Nigel .

    Ireland once produced Freedom Fighters . Now it produces Quislings on their knees to the Eu Empire . It will not always be so . Irish People Fight Empires in the End . Ask the British and the Catholic Church . Soon , Irish People will realise the Eu Empire is the latest Empire in Town !

    Folks...somebody should tell him. This level of sheer lack of awareness has to be unhealthy.

    The EU is not an empire. Empire's don't typically allow slave states and colonies to leave peacefully and certainly don't include the capacity to do so in their legislature.

    The irony of somebody wittering on about evil Empires, 'knighting' Nigel Farage for his 'work' may be lost on him. :)

    Farage is taking his Country out of the Eu Empire . It is an Extroadinary Achievement .

    Ireland could have done with a Farage to get us out of the British Empire and the Catholic Church Empire .

    Instead we now have Quislings on their knees to the Eu Empire .

    There was /is always Irish only too happy to be on their Knees to Empire .

    The Irish started the end of the British Empire which was at it's largest when we gained Independence. Next to take the lead from us was India.
    On Good Friday, 1930, a group of revolutionaries seized the armouries of the police department and the auxiliary forces in Chittagong, Bengal. Led by Surya Sen, a prominent Bengali freedom fighter, the revolutionaries referred to themselves as the Indian Republican Army, or IRA. The timing of the raid and the name adopted by the revolutionaries in carrying it out were not coincidental, but rather a deliberate attempt to emulate the Easter Rising that had occurred in Ireland in 1916. As one of the Chittagong raiders later wrote in recalling the incident, ‘The blood-stained memory of the Easter Revolution of the IRA touched our young minds with fiery enthusiasm!’ After capturing the armouries and cutting telephone and telegraph wires, the raiders retreated into the hill country surrounding Chittagong. There, they waged an ongoing insurgency against the British colonial government before the majority were surrounded by imperial troops on the 22nd of April.

    He most certainly isn't.

    The name is Johnson, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson :pac:

    Incidentally, he will be putting Mr Farage and his fellow Brexit Party MEPs out of their jobs. Not a moment too soon, and without EU pension rights either if Johnson has his way.

    When you've already allowed your mind to be drowned with so much nonsense, simply being told that you've a degree of unawareness will accomplish nothing.

    I'm hoping our business isn't too badly effected, we import the majority of our products from the UK but I have had contingencies in place for a while with alternative european suppliers. No deal is looking increasingly likely.
    So many UK companies I will have had great relationships with for years will be gone in a stroke, such a shame.

    You might be ok when the pound crashes, it could devalue enough to make up for tariffs. Just in time operations will need readjustment.

    I am backing the Democratic decision of Britain to leave the Eu . If Ireland got 50% + 1 to leave the Eu I would unsurprisingly expect Ireland to leave the Eu .

    Without Democracy there is no Freedom .

    You do realise the Vote for Brexit was 52% followed by a General Election where 83% voted for parties that said they would Respect the Democratic Referendum Result for Brexit .

    52% in a non binding vote.

    A binding vote now that the British people know exactly what they are voting for would be true democracy.

    I think the word "democracy" should just be retired at this stage. According to the polls a mere 23% in the UK want to leave with a No Deal brexit yet we are being told daily that it is somehow crucial for "democracy" that this is done. The word is being stripped of meaning, the brexit party in Brussels acts like they own the copyright, yet has to make up stories in order to stake their claim, as we saw in the chamber today.

    The Prime Minister ( Cameron ) at the time said that the Vote would be implemented followed by the Next Prime Minister ( May ) and Jeremy Corbyn . There was also a General Election where 83% voted for parties that said they would Respect the Brexit Referendum Result .

    Funnily enough if Britain had voted by 52% to remain then Britain would remain .

    Did they vote to leave with a deal or without one?

    With democracy one can change one's mind.

    Neither the Conservatives , Brexit Party or even the Labour Party are proposing another Brexit Referendum . Thats even the Labour Party ( for now at least )

    Its almost as if they understand that the British People want their Democracy respected .

    One thing for sure is that the British People did not Vote to Stay in the Eu .

    Do you think the same sex marriage and abortion referendums should be respected in Ireland ?

    And those 83% excluded strictly a no deal Brexit, so go on with it and take Mays deal. It is not the EU that holds the UK back.

    Because a second "binding" referendum to cement the original "non binding" vote now that the details have been teased out, would be anti democratic ?
