Would you be so good as to identify the the EU person, and date at which this offer of extending the A50 was proffered. ? Recent indications from EU personell are to the contrary. We are not embarrassed by Leo. As I have said before, I would have preferred had Simon gained the top slot, but we...

Reference please!!!.

Absolutely we do create wealth all the time, and we also dissipate it . Generally it is the intellectual capital that creates wealth,so scientific progress is the wealth producer. Feckless consumption destroys wealth.

I read down as far as the word services..and a country can survive without manufacturing. Switzerland is a major case in point. It recognised long ago that it could not be strong in volume manufacturing. So it concentrated its efforts on high added value products . precision machinery,watches...

No. That is wishful thinking. What you were probably referring to was the ECJ December ruling allowing withdrawal ,not extension of Article 50 . Note if you read the ECJ judgement, it requires what would need to be a "Meaningful Vote, " or basically an Act of UK Parliament...the term was...

I don't need to. A country can survive by supplying services. But only if there are customers,and if you are supplying a service it implies skills,that the customer does not have

Brilliant, provided they don't need food, heat, housing,housing maintenance,nursing,medical treatment...funerals,holes in the ground,

Agreed until the day when the creditors say no more credit. ,We want real assets. So then you sell all the islands off Scotland,then the factories ,then there are no profit centres. Are you sure you ever studied economics?.

Yes that is what i have been saying since mid December.

I did flag this up as a possibility earlier. As a way for a spiv to behave,it might be accepted, for a proud nation it would not. An immediate response from the EU would be a new WA, with nothing in it. The telephone number in Brussels would be changed and the British invited to send all...

You are either willfully ignoring or missing the point, an extension to Article 50 is the one option not open to the British. They can crash out,they can accept the WA,warts and all,they can rescind their decision to withdraw...and that would be a meaningful vote. The only option they do not...

No the EU will not be conned by another meaningless vote. The UKs credibility in this matter is shot. If parliament were dissolved,and a GE called,that might just about hit the threshold. Note that the EU has provided some temporary letters of comfort in matters of transport, for about 3 months...

I cannot agree with the second part of your post. Yes she has achieved nothing,with the two months delay, except delay. The EU has attempted to make as many minor concessions as they are able , without reopening the WA... A temporary extension to Eurotunnel, temporary extensions to aircraft...

If Westminister had agreed the deal by 14 march, there would be no point in granting an extension. Unless a deal were imminent there would be no point . The only bargining position the UK has is that the EU wants to retain the integrity of the current structure Can you not see the...

I do not think the EU would be impressed by a request to extend A50, received 14 march ,unless there was a hell of a lot of substance to it. A blank request would merit a blank refusal. You have heard the Poles and the Hungarians. Re the additional words qualifying the word" necessary", are in...

It may gave been ,but I interpreted it that way from fleccs posting.

Fingers, ... Give over, when you have more life experience, you might see the wisdom in what flecc is saying. Allowing people to die naturally , without aggressive intervention can be a kindness. However in the broader question of is this the best of times in the history of mankind ? I am...

.. It is actually a little bit better than when Dublin Bus some 20 years ago, put this mysterious sign on buses called AN LAR ..without any qualification.. and that was confusing. We are labouring the point but I thought it amusing that the Bus company would just put the bit of Irish on the bus...

All in all a very balanced article,. There is virtually unanimous consent behind a backstop,and if that does cause angst in Westminster so be it. The article I refer to by John Harris is more in-depth..

.. are you playing wuth me?. I full well know that An Lar refers to the city centre.... the amusing point is that it was only on the bus going via the Falls . Would those on the Shankhill not be demanding their version in Ulster Scot?.
