don't try and divert Mary, the U.K. government is golden. Any hard barrier will be on the republics side at the insistance of the eu who views the single market barrier as more important that the gfa. Varadkar won't demand the eu respects the gfa because the republic, like two thirds of eu countries, are dependent on eu cash. That is how they get you.
You can rest your cock on the table if you want, but it's only one group who are insisting on a hard border in Ireland, is the one group that is NOT a co signatory on the good friday peace agreement and that group is the eu.
At some point in the future, the people of Northern Ireland may wish to decide for itself if it wants to stay part of the U.K., be a U.K. crown dependency but independent such as the isle of man or join with the republic into one ireland. That would be for the people of N.I. to decide If any deal gained includes effectively surrendering the N.I. to the eu demands, then I would vote brexit party rather than tory.
No, you said you would give in to it My position has been made clear over the last few thousand posts - no one would counter a reply as they knew I was correct it's too late for coming out with what we should have achieved due to the EU plotting with our mamby pambeys I'm afraid...
When I have said I would give in to it? Either way, are you not able to state what you thought is achievable? Surely hindsight would help you?
Which is ? @noobie has been very clear with his view. @Loz thinks it will be a stitch up. Be interested to know how he will vote if that happens What’s your position?
I just listened to this Luxembourg PM having an absolute meltdown. What a complete fuckwit and not the best host! What a cock up by the EU/Luxembourg! No way Boris would be able to conduct himself over the protesters boos. Get your act together EU. BJ's support must have just gone up
The news/radio/other media will only show and quote the half controlled stuff but if you listen to the whole thing! Hilarious....
Even the Guardian have a problem with the way it was handled: Luxembourg PM's press conference - Snap verdict That was extraordinary. Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, has just been humiliated by the leader of the tiniest country in the European Union. We were expecting a joint, open-air press conference but, with a large crowd of anti-Brexit campaigners threatening to drown out Johnson, it was announced that the British PM was not going to take part (presumably because of the demonstration, although that has not officially been confirmed yet). Normally in these circumstances the polite thing to do is to re-arrange. But instead Xavier Bettel, the prime minister of Luxembourg, just went ahead anyway, effectively “empty chairing” his guest. At one point he even gestured at the space where Johnson was supposed to be. And then Xavier just let rip. People often wonder what EU leaders say or think about Johnson in private. Well, now we know. The leave campaign was a pack of lies, Johnson’s talk of progress in the Brexit talk is unfounded, the UK still has not come up with any ideas. On and on he went, with particular emphasis on the point that the UK, not the EU, was to blame for the crisis. It was a “nightmare” for EU citizen, said Bettel. At several points he was loudly applauded by the protesters, because they felt he was articulating their anger. Yesterday Johnson depicted himself as the Incredible Hulk. As the Telegraph’s Michael Deacon suggests, the reality could not be more different.
