Much of that posting ,I agree with, except UK citizens y actually have or will have had a lot going for them. If you think that life in the UK is hard, then seriously you need to rethink. We live in a world where people die of thirst, where they die of hunger and in many cases no roof over...

Can you see it has nothing to do with the UK Government?. A Dairy or Abattoir located in NI that wants to have the privilege of selling produce into the EU, signs up and accepts QA inspection by Irish inspectors. Its a private contract. Just as at present we have Halal inspectors visiting...

Not Not What I said. Provided the NI continue to remain in the same compliant regime as present, we would trust them to produce food which is acceptable to the RoI ,and we in the RoI would then be responsible for its onward transmission to the EU. Since NI is a generator of food rather...

Not the EU or certainly my concern. Non EU inspectors located in NI food processors , can help fast track foodstuff from NI to the rest of the UK. . My concern is only that food stuff originating in NI or RoI is to EU quality standards,..which at present it is,and we in the South can safely...

Its an interesting idea Its an interesting idea..not more. The point not understood is that in this instance RoI is the EU, so an Irish act is wholly inadequate. I have provided an alternative which would meet the major Irish objection ,and would in my opinion find acceptance from the EU...

Finally there are some points we can agree on. There are real solutions and they are workable. The obvious one is that the all Ireland market remains for food processing. Any goods moving to the UK from NI producers are sealed in containers by customs inspectors at the factories and fast...

My English is quite passable. My query referred to your use of the word overwhelmingly . Now since the next word is reject it has to refer to recent events. In any event the majority of those elder voters in 1975 a were deceased.by the time of the referendum. ..(the median age in 1975 was 34...

.. which "overwhelmingly" are you referring to.?. The Referendum, when a tick in a different box by 600,000 out of 34,000,000 would have given a different result, or the decision by the HoC to overwhelmingly accept that decision and send the Article 50 letter to the EU. ,Or the General...

Lemmings?

And this is a good thing?.

As my Mother in Law would say, "Tis soft the wool grows on you" ..it might apply to Fingers.

There was NOTHING stopping the UK bringing such legislation last year,five years ago, ten years ago. It is an appalling situation .

But Ken Clark would be a different proposition.

If he waits till then it goes to an empty letterbox, Retirement beckons for Mr Tusk. No there are lapses which are excusable in a backbencher, objectionable and a resigning matter for Ministers and utterly ridiculous if done by a premier.

It worked for Ireland. ! You don't need identical political systems, but you do need to have converging financial structures.

My memory is that there was a run on the pound. Maybe like what will happen this week. You do realise that since the Brexit referendum,the pound sterling has plummeted in value?. Now it is a stroke of luck for those with money to speculate in the currency market, but not for the old geezer...

Maybe, and have adopted the WA ,along with the Backstop. !

You might want to revise your opinion regarding Glastonbury.. there were 96 arrests and Population of 200,000 ,so it was5 times worse. ..most were arrests for theft. And the police were very pleased that it was DOWN 42% on the preceding year. A Rugby match attracts about 50,000 ..but they...

Now guffows aside, there is a serious health issue here. US food import restrictions on meat products is important to them,as it is to us. Pork is one of the most at risk products, due to the intensive nature of the industry. If memory serves the last major foot and mouth epidemic in these...

The EU was never going to roll over. The EU is not bothered about the arithmetic in the HoC. The die is cast, and any change,must come from the UK side. If the UK had listened to Mrs Merkel and addressed Backstop mitigation in the context of future relations,we would not be where we are today.
