So Sorry 50 I had assumed , as did virtually everyone else, that the BJ Deal was identical to the May deal except for the Backstop elements. This is sharp practice at a level unacceptable in European parliamentary systems. The USA is full of these pork barrel clauses in their...

Not really. High density urban environments actually work well, for air source units and even deep geo. The average temperature in a town is higher, so the temperature gradient is less, and any heat which escapes from a dwelling can be locally captured.

There are two forms of ground source. .. deep source where the pipes are upwards are upwards of 2km cumulative.... Say 5 or 6 tubes of 200m depth. Soil temperature at 200 m is warmer. There were also shallow or surface types, where there are plenty of parallel tubes at a depth of 1 to 2...

Yes I agree with you. This amendment is a" kick down the road.".. But there is no road left.

The full UK backstop was a UK invention,not the EUs. The prospect of the NI Assembly voting to leave the Customs Union is not going to happen.

OJ if you go back to what I have been posting,and the current agreement, you will see very little daylight. Ireland's demand of no physical infrastructure has been met, The requirement to have alignment on on physio sanitary affairs has been met. The idea of leaving the decision about leaving...

Yes of course. But the ability of the Irish to consume much is very limited. It is what happens with the majority of product flowing into a 500 million market or eastwards into a 60 million market that matters.

It is part of the 520 pages left untouched. The new 64 pages is just the backstop replacement text, all the rest remains. Now was that short enough for you?.

..and of course myself and all the Louth, Cavan and Monaghan shoppers travel north to Sainsbury's in Sprucefield,and buy that sugar, and the iced biscuits . But this is just peanuts in the great scheme of things, ..It is what happens with the bulk containers on the Rosslare Le Havre ferry that...

My take on the divided Ireland bit is actually the reverse. There is no reason now,as far as an NI person is concerned,to promote a political union South and North. In fact as the process washes through,and the financial advantages of remaining aligned but separate will become more...

That is just the backstop rework..all the other 520 rages remain. I did attempt to read it (the backstop replacement),but lost the will to live

Don't forget that Ireland's position was even worse than that at 90% to UK and 10% rest of world, prior to EU membership..now it is the reverse. Unless you are actually here, you cannot appreciate the volume of NI trade,services, etc within the Island of Ireland. The majority of white vans...

Mr Farage has said that he would prefer another extension than this now current deal ..due to be voted on Saturday. We must be doing something right. What many in the UK,and that may include some posters here, may not understand is that the DUP does not speak for NI. Leaving aside the polite...

I don't know the arithmetic in the HoC, but my reading is this . 1. DUP will vote No. 2. The Majority of Labour will vote No. 3. The Majority of Tories will vote Yes..and may include a majority of tge people expelled. 4. The others SNP, etc. will split 50% 50% The Irish view is cautious...

Correct.. the Boyne was 1690 but the war continued till 1691,as it moved westwards

Not sure where you are going with this, which part do you want clarifying? The accession of William of Orange to the English throne was orchestrated by London Merchants. They sold it as Protestant versus Catholic. The battle of the Boyne,in 1690, must even exist in English history books. But...

If only. No. It is a person who attends meetings of the Loyal Orange Order, at tgeir lodges, where they can relive the Glorious Revolution of 1688 , when a coup d'etat, overthrew the legal King of England, and replaced him with a princeling from Holland. It was a good bargain as far as the...

..What and look like a typical DUP Orangeman. I thought Royalty was above politics.

Oh don't be so hard on yourself, you are not racist..you married an Irishwoman.

As I now see it, the EU is and has been ,for some time, resigned to a UK wide Crashout in a fortnight. They are seeking to see what amelioration can be done regarding NI. The prospect that BJ floated last week was tantalising ,and made a WA deal potentially feasible. But .... the DUP are not...
