Two items regarding this jingoism.. The forces which drove the world into to the first world war were complex, but the British Empire was one of the major players. It had a strategy of trying to bankrupt the emerging German Empire by forcing them to build expensive battleships... There are...

While I am sure that your wee Sammy would be great gas down at the pub or lodge, thats rhe height of his competence...

Look again at those NI figures. Would you not see it as possible that the level of flustration in those DUP constituencies is driving that number up. It is theoretically possible to be a NI /UK Unionist and still utterly agast with the DUP position on the Brexit position. Whereas those in SF...

Tommie there has been virtually no publicity or the process for voting in these petitions, so a couple of million is a serious uptake, for what to an honest person is not an anonymous ballot box. (We both know there is really no anonymity on the web) . Will you still have the same viewpoint...

Oh I got that wrong. The UK has ,as far as the EU is concerned, a unconditional get out of jail card until the 12th. .April By 12th. ,They have to either have 1. Committed to the WA or presumably have something closer aligned to the EU. In which case they have to have all paperwork sorted by...

The PM i presume ,cannot unilaterally revoke the decision... That will require votes.

.. not necessarily so. The HoC has to amend their act which says they are leaving on 29th. So the MPs need to vote to change the leaving date. And since they cannot agree on anything,I would not be sure even that will pass.

So no we have the final final offer. 1. Unconditional extension by EC up to 22 May. Subject inky to the forlorn hope of getting a deal ..the deal . 2. Conditional extension if UK decides by 12 April to organise EC parliamentary elections. Not sure what happens if next week goes by without an...

If as is likely the EC offer the I thought that about Bloody Sunday in Derry... No things can always get worse.

The latest draft take is that the EU will allow an extension until 7 May. .. but if there is an undertaking that the UK will run EU parliament elections by April11, the date could be extended (end of year perhaps? ) I feel the influence of Merkel on this one.

At the speed it is going, that could happen. Now the important thing is not that it has any legal power, but it could give courage or coverage to some waivering MPs to actually do something.

I'm afraid that might have been viewed as a highly personal comment.

Lets see the Bog roll comes from Finland,and where is Finland..oh in the EU. The biggest market for French cars is surprisingly France

Wow!. I have to agree with you that the 1. The backstop is a smokescreen.always was 2. I try not to comment on individual UK politicians ,but last nights press statement was a monumental own goal. 3. The 39b needs to be paid whatever. ..otherwise the UK becomes nth. korea. 4. The EU have...

If the IT Crowd in the British Government are so inept, that they have not yet discovered geo locking, perhaps they need to talk with the BBC,SKY NOW and virtually every other commercial company who have made this a standard procedure.

From todays Irish Times .... "With an uncharacteristic flash of Churchillian passion, German chancellor Angela Merkel has promised to push for an orderly UK departure from the EU “to the last day, to the last hour”. Her promise follows a new German study suggesting the Republic of Ireland...

It was extraordinary. The PM derives their authority from the Parliament,and every dog knows you don't bite the hand that feeds you.

.. again I don't wish to comment on internal UK politicians, but Labour does not appear to be providing anything better.

All things come to those who wait... My insurance company has today issued me my green card, so I am insured to travel in NI post 29 March. .. Have you got yours yet Tommie!.

This is what others are complaining about!!.
