    He may be only 57 chronologically,but I suspect he is 100 mentally.. the pressures of the last two years would have put decades on any rational person. And I suspect that the senior civil servants are rational people. Hell, I am a decade older,and still have my hair.

    I confused?. I think not. A the moment there is a de facto situation. That is the current choice, ..the leave without a deal choice There are then alternatives to it. We can differ in our beliefs as to whether it is preferable to what would be alternatives. In logic there is a position and...

    Dave, the crashout can happen,and is as likely to happen as any other scenario. That the majority in the UK or even in the HoC might not wish it,is no guarantee .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nice.. But . 1. Is not an option. Or more correctly it is not an option available to the UK. It is a potential concession which the EU might be prepared to offer, subject only to their expectation that a Deal is imminent. 2. That is not an alternative, it is actually the de facto or current...

    Huh!. If her deal is not passed, the default position of crash out remains with 10 days to go. The EU will only consider an extension of Article 50 , if there is a obvious path forward.. which there is not. An extension for the purposes of an extension have been ruled out . So the only real...

    Comments taken from the RTE "Britain’s foreign minister has warned that future generations will blame the EU if it fails to come to an agreement at this point in the Brexit negotiations.

    As day 15 of the countdown to the crashout arrives,and with the Rugby weekend that is in it,and mindful of the engagement by the UKs AG with Brussels,I am reminded of those lines from the Scottish Rugby anthem... " And sent him homewards to think again"

    It is probably appropriate for OG make his own reply, but of course there is truth in what you say,there is "evidence" available on line to refute every and any position. Fortunately the same god who made the internet, also provided us with a grey blob between our ears , and an ability to...

    Again,like other people away from NI, the subtleties of the situation may be defeating you. There is a clever song by Colum Sands describing the mindset of people who were under seige or occupation.. "Whatever you say,say nothing" ..that could easily account for 10% .There are others including...

    Not so many of them do... I am constantly coming across suffix ,ie, pl,de,es fr on websites. But the point of course is that with free movement of goods and services under EU principles, any website could use any other host within the EU. Hat is yet another service the UK is walking away from.

    The key question is why would a uk company be seeking to trade under false pretences. Using .eu rather than .co.uk, for a website operating from the soon to be non EU UK is fraudulent.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So 16 working days to crashout, and the much vaunted reworking of guarantees regarding the UK/EU border in NI is no further along. I would see it as a mistake to have the UK AG present at talks. That compromises his ability to make a dispassionate judgement. .. Every body knows you can be a...

    Well Tommie would have even more cause to be concerned. The entire Ring of Gullion as it is called is a giant caldera,and Newry is in the collapsed centre. It is spectacular scenery. There is another volcano off the coast and there has been a relatively small earth quake off the Isle of...
