    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We have different outlooks on this. My concern is with the EU. The UK centric Media and indeed this forum is fixated on the HoC...for obvious reasons, but the big picture is the EU

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Speculation in Irish and EU circles was that BJ wanted to delay agreement until the last minute in order to create maximum impact from the blond bombshell,and limit scrutiny. The EU does not appreciate that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Generally I have no difficulty with this Left and Right ,.there is usually enough clues in road furniture, road markings that I don't make that error, when travelling in France. However there can be a moment of indecision,on a country road without markings. If ever, the problem will not...

    These attempts at deflection are pathetic. You might choose to consider my disregard for punctuation, when dealing with your posts as contempt. I did explain that I use an on screen tablet keyboard ,and editing is just hard work.

    This was exactly the type of function that DI was intended to protect against...As Daveboys posting indicates. Now can you identify in any one of the many hundreds of posting where I have made, where I have been anti UK?. I have 2 brothers and a sister currently living in the UK. The...

    The primary interest by the host states security service would be in getting to the SECRETs held by the DI person. What better way than staging car accidents and then hauling the diplomats car away for forensic examination. The Saudi event, was a gross violation of every norm.

    Yes facts and logic are sooo inconvenient, they get in the way of a good rant.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    DI is not about protecting dangerous drivers. It is about protecting certain people, by prior agreement, from actions carried out in the host country. The person with DI is still subject to the laws of their home country. The moral decency argument is threadbare... The UK Government could...

    50 H, Ignoring your foul language and concentrating on the facts. DI existed as a high level agreement between two sovereign states, and will not be subject to the whims of even a paper as important as the Daily Mail. The moment the aircraft entered US airspace,her DI status expired. This...

    Battery carrier failure on raleigh motusn

    Interesting.. I had a similar but different experience. Same model 2016 model, and the screws holding the carrier in position loosened, and on a bump the entire assembly rotated backwards and ripped the harness. Obviously I had a 6 miles non powered return. Doing a repair was extremely...

    I regret to say but BJs level of knowledge at that time is about par for UK front line politicians who don't actually work in NI.

    I would not be making the same speculation as that. The WA was there in order to be able to move on to the next phase. If the NI were within a EU customs union means that there would be EU customs in the Irish Sea when the mainland UK diverges. I cannot see the EU subcontracting that work to...

    Of course it is. The UK was not interested in Economic suicide.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Woosh, we do not know what the proposed scheme is. All we know is that cautious optimism was voiced yesterday,and a belief that there was enough to engage with the fuller EU. I go back to an earlier post. The Irish state has one red line.. no hard customs posts on or near the border ,the...
