    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Fingers a 1million is a considerable sum for a single person,but in the context of public spaces, is very small. 4 terraced houses or 2 sets of 2 semi detached 3 bedrooms new houses just covers it. To replace the granite paving along a single central main street ,correct some of the wiring and...

    Yes..and what is so wrong about that?. Hopefully we will not be required to shoulder the burden when Britain , a poor emasculated Britain seeks membership in thirty years time. Its unlikely that I will be around to see it though.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When I was working, I like to think that my contribution assisted Irelands economic development , so that now, and for the past three years, we have been a net contributor to the EU budget. Had the UK chosen more wisely in its choice of representatives, then it might have been able to...

    Survival?. Was that the objective?. Thrive was what I understood, Best in the World, people screaming to do deals . No I am no defeatist.. I and my country are Remaining in the EU

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes.. but those goods from elsewhere will be rotting on your ports,and then homegrown?. but surprisingly it takes a season for things to grow. So there are a lot of hungry people waiting for the green shoots. These discussions are more akin to whackamole. Everytime an obvious problem is...

    You miss the point The majority of that produce is consumed on mainland Europe. Now losing 10% is the difference between the higher spec DS and the standard Renault. Meanwhile the Liverpool Housewife makes do with tinned beans again.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You must also be reasonable in your demands, otherwise it is not a negotiation,it is a rant. Both sides ..or at least the EU side knows that ultimately a Deal must be done. You cannot have a gaping hole in the side of the building, Belatedly Westminster has come to a similar view.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No. This is the wishful thinking school of fantasy. The EU knew well in advance all the capabilities of the British Economy..as indeed did many experts in the UKs diplomatic and civil service. When the surprise result emerged, they both were gobsmacked. The EU then went around,in the person...

    Woosh, you are normally a little more circumspect than this. See the title. It describes the consequences of different levels of Brexit..not the obvious one of No Brexit. The option of No Brexit was not available and is discussed nowhere in the report. What this says is consistent with my...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Fingers you never fail to disappoint. Look at the evidence. Sterling DROPs whenever the prospect of NoDeal Crashout looms and Rallys when there is a prospect of a Deal ot cancellation. .. Don't take my word, look at the graph of its performance over 3 years.. there are plenty of websites. Now...

    Only because there is a suspicion that Brexit deals or cancellation might occur. The DUP statements help.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Eh no. The majority overall would prefer no Brexit. A majority in a Unionist camp would prefer a very very soft Brexit, and decreasing numbers towards harder Brexits. Then finally one comes to very hard line "Republican" agitators who look forward to the chaos,and the opportunities it presents

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suspect no bribe. What you need to appreciate is that the DUP climbed out on a branch and started sawing it off . Their stance was highly unpopular in NI,who very rightly are concerned that the economy will collapse. While a majority in NI are satisfied to remain in Union with the UK,the DUP...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is a little truth there. Economic prosperity was centred around Belfast ,because Dublin had been allowed to be run down. NI had linen,shipyards, and the South mainly agricultural produce.. leather, beef, shoes, alcohol,

    The analogy is ridiculous ,I agree, but let's see, who is making the major amount of microprocessors for export? Is it the UK or the little old Intel plant in Leixlip or the Apple plant in Cork ? . Not a good call to challenge me on hi tech electronics. Ireland has been on numerous occasions...

    You misunderstand. I have no hopes that the Crashout will be bad. I do not want my family and relations living in the UK to suffer, or indeed the broad mass of UK people, who I respect, I FEAR it will be so.
