    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That was a dishonest statement. In other words a lie. The Government cannot and could not implement that. All it could do was bring to the HoC legislation.

    Y You know there is a person in high office across the Atlantic, whose favourite expressions are . "people say," "many consider" , , "I have been told" ..before coming out with some unverifiable claptrap.. of course none of these people in the know are ever identified, or may even exist ...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Those" excellent points " simply ignore a fundamental truth. The Scottish Referendum might well have passed,except that the Scots were informed in no uncertain terms that they would be expelled from the EU..from Mr Cameron . And that it would be a long time before they would have any opportunity...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That response is inadequate. You explicitly included the qualification EU. This was puzzling those of us who think about such matters, because it contradicted our experience. An apology is still in order, ..

    Now Fingers, you need to refute this with data, or apologize. You brought up the topic,out of the blue, so either you have facts you wish to impart or you are a troll.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The actual document is well worth reading, and is a great pity that a think tank had not developed it in 2014... In advance of the referendum. The three years considered are or were expected to be in parallel with the transition phase of the Withdrawal Agreement.

    But that is exactly the way it is at present.... The duty on cigarettes and petrol is different, and the registration tax on cars is totally different.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Which part of the EU would prefer that the UK remained a fully functioning member is hard to understand? Which part of the EU wanting the UK to leave on as favourable terms as possible and remaining as close as possible to the EU is hard to understand? The UK has been legally free to leave since...

    Interesting that. This is where the JIT economy hits the buffers. Much of Ireland's domestic products services depots would be in Slough etc, and if the new Hoover Washing machine failed, the parts would be dispatched over night. In the old days that was also true for industrial machine tools...

    Yes... It will be hard cheese for some. Fingers do you not realise that I have been saying exactly this for years now.?. The machines used in our dairies are designed to process for cheddar, and England is the major cheddar eater. But machines have been ordered with BT IDA funding to make the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sorry woosh.. I will assume a typo. But there will be no EU Deal if it includes a Hard Border with checkpoints etc on the 310 mile demarkation line. There will be no possibility of Ireland rejoining the UK. There is no immediate prospect of NI joining with the RoI. Under GFA terms all NI...
