At an early stage Mrs May identified a collection of RED line issues. By definition these would be offensive,if crossed. The EU claims to have met these, and Mrs May concurs . The EU would have wanted closer alignment, the UK delegation objected because the cost of these,in terms of their red...

The Lithuanian President response is exactly in accordance with the rest of EU27, in respect to what has been AGREED. ..now if the UK wants A50 extended, and it must be unanimous.. that is not looking good. The Polish Minister's comment needs to be seen for what is . An academic point from an...

Now I get it, in your vocabulary, plenty means two. The current one and the one last June. There would have been a few scholarly articles in trade magazines also. Which part of ... 1. No one in any position of authority or responsibility in the EU27 want a no deal crash out. 2. Everybody in...

Again all of these points were raised before, and by other major companies . Seriously these things were known even in advance . The only puzzling point,is why the CEO of Airbus waited until now for a public statement. . I can only assume he and others have been discussing these things again...

Back on thread and from todays RTE (our version of the BBC)... The European Parliament's Brexit group has said it would not approve a withdrawal agreement that did not contain a "backstop" provision to avoid a hard border in Ireland. The parliament's Brexit Steering Group, chaired by Guy...

Have you any idea how wearisome that incoherent sniping is?. At least when Tommie from NI makes a point, it usually is somewhere on topic,and displays an intelligence. .

See Tommie, we can agree. Leo is actually handling it very well. So now that the attacks on Leo and Simon are blunted, is the propaganda machine targetting the Irish people. If so be careful what you wish for,in general the people on mainland UK,cannot distinguish between Belfast ,Derry, Cork...

Can I extend that a little. The British have seriously undermined the value of engineering trades,..that was a sub thread here for a while. The quality of top grade academic work in the UK is world class,but the quality of apprenticeship has lagged behind,or even regressed. Those Polish...

As someone,without a natural gift for languages, I am grateful to Latin,as it enabled me attend University... At that time there was a requirement to have two languages in addition to English. My approach was to tackle it as one would a computer algorithm.

It is not in Mr Barnier's gift to so do. Any extension of Article50 requires 27 members to agree. Any extension of anything requires 27 members to agree. The only things that have at present been agreed by EU are the Currently on hold Deal and apparently a few transport arrangements. . The...

Sorry, flecc.. I actually disagree. Latin provided a very strong basis for logic reasoning. The fact that it was no longer a working language, allowed it to remain very precise .

Proroguing is a well established process for dealing with subsidiary parliaments. But I cannot believe it could happen to a supreme parliament. Were the Queen the absolute power, she could prorogure it.

A time limited backstop is a contradiction in terms. Let me be very clear on this , if Leo were to backslide on this, all Irish public opinion would be against him. I have never seen any issue where there has been such unity in the RoI ..and that includes Unity. This article you have...

Thank you for correcting the spelling. And no , I would be seen as mild.

You need to follow the fundamental rules of genetics. If you interbreed with lesser breeds ,the qualities of the progeny DECREASE. . The movie" Idiotochrachy " makes it clear

Two occasions does not constitute many,and when you ACTUALLY read what I wrote it was highly qualified. My desire to say I told you so, is so tempered by the obvious reality that the damage which will be done to the British economy ,and by extension to the Irish economy that it is a pyrrhic...

In regard to the divide regarding socialists and others i am reminded of a story a work colleague, now deceased, would quote. It involves two friends attending a meeting, possibly at Hyde Park corner where a Socialist was preaching "Let he who has two Farms give up one and give it to the...

To an extent it does, but if , and it has been happening for over 2 years, that there has been a constant barrage if .."we win, you lost get over it ",It would try the patience of a saint,let alone a mere esteemed pedelecer . Particularly when that is the extent of the rational argument...

To take back something, it had to have been given away previously. Control was never given away. Every EU treaty refers to the sovereign status of the UK as it does to the similar staus of Holland, Sweden etc... At its most extreme, sovereignty is was shared, not given away. The proof ..the...

OJ,.. fine what you wanted was clear, what were you prepared to give up to achieve it was not. The most blatant lie was the mantra "take back control" .. . It was is as meaningless or meaningful as " Make America great Again". Even the fact that the EU did not stop,or attempt to stop ,or is...
