Hi 50 Hz, There is one positive way in which UK if it actually does remain can turn "the best of two bad choices ".into a good result. The EU is in need of reform and if the UK actually engaged in it. ,By sending representatives to the EU parliament,worthy of the name, they could accomplish a...

Fingers... That logic escapes me. Companies with global or international dimensions, will put their corporate headquarters in locations with a more favourable tax regime not for convenience. P&O could have selected Bermuda , they did not, They choose an EU country.. conincidence?. If you move...

It took me 7 minutes to work out what the implications of a no deal Brexit would be as the BBC were posting the results of referendum, I then went back to bed, depressed,and woke up some 4 hours later. Very little that has happened since has unfortunately surprised me. Except for two things...

If she said these things,it is grossly irresponsible... It provides licence to thugs.

Since the precambrian era Ireland has been united, it is simply that 1.5 million people remain politically divided from 4.5 million ,and have done so since 1923.

I am not going to get into the name calling game. However I suspect that the esteemed TD from Louth, has no lnkling of the events in Derry. .. He is trying to present himself and become the avuncular "uncle" and chef in these his retirement years. Rather than being sanguine about a no deal...

Tommie your exchanges in that sequence with flecc, was actually infantile, and below your normal standard. We should both be worried about the event in Derry yesterday. I actually think it is more linked to the power vacuum in Stormont than either Brexit or the anniversary of the start of...

We c We can agree and disagree. I agree with your first proposition. However , I beg to differ about the second. Had the UK been serious about negotiating over the last 18 months ,there would be a deal in place, and the UK would be a long way towards sorting out a future relationship...

Apparently going down a few sentences was an over extensive effort. The proviso is that the be agreements in place .

What currently happens is that there are agreements in place, governing what will happen in the event of accidents, whose police will intervene,in case of aggressive behaviour, or labour disputes with cabin staff etc and all these are ultimately linked to ECJ decisions. Now alternatives can be...

There is a very good reason it has received little information. 1. Opening a new lane for UK passengers would be a major requirement anyway since they need to go through customs. 2. No visa requirenent?. Great, what countries actually have visa requirements. Generally speaking, these are...

Please flecc, less of that, let us not insult 10 year old brats.

I have presented a little known quantity called FACTs . It may be a novel experience for you. What you choose to do with them is of course your choice. Got it?.

OJ ,the Government is the collection of ministers at any one time, who hold their commissions or seals of office. It is not the Parliament or the State. Once a new general election is held, a new government is formed and is NOT bound by any decisions of a previous Government. It is however...

It is a rules based organisation, but rules are not arbitrary, but instead based on principles, and sometimes the principles are open to interpretation. That is why there are Judges. This is a question which had never be asked before, so now it has been answered. I freely admit, it was not...

The Summary of the ECJ ruling as reported in the Irish Times of 10 December.... The Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union delivered an unusually “expedited” decision on a question forwarded by a Scottish court at the request of a number of MSPs, MPs and MEPs. They sought to...

Woosh are you sure!. My reading of the ECJ judgement allowed the UK to unilaterally repeal or extend upto thecutoff date.

You are fully correct and I am also. It is currently the situation that nothing is in place to stop the UK leaving as scheduled on March 29 midnight. However the UK can stop this process. Again it must be a structured process.

Strange the habits of Northerners , we restrict ourselves to books and newspapers Are we actually disagreeing??. What I was trying to say was that a hastily scribbled note on Parliamentary loo paper would not cut it as far as recinding or extending Article 50. I am not even suggesting that...

My take.. yes the UK is on track to leave . There is no stalemate,just no deal. Parliament can do everything. In fact UK Parliament is the only organisation who can do anything. What can it do?. 1. It can vote to unilaterally void Article 50. That requires a meaningful vote . basically it...
