    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Actually I and 400 million other people have a very good idea of what will happen then. The UK will have run out of time. There will be panic buying and selling . The Border will go up accross NI James by reluctant Irish Customs officers .. .and there will be no deal. The practical...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is why the EU side was very closed lipped until now. The deal is agreed by those empowered by their governments to negociate it. It is now up to the principals to either agree it or not. Your Government, meaning the UK Parliament has two choices and two choices only . Accept or Reject...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sorry fingers ,but it is the only deal on offer. Very simply the UK side squandered a good year of the negociating time. Even if they had taken the stance you suggest,the result will still be deal or no deal..there would not be a substantially different outcome because the eu could not afford...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    "The Irish on both sides are perfectly happy with the way things are at the moment, as is the UK government". I fully concur with that statement . The emphasis being on at the moment. The Irish state sees the backstop, which was agreed by the British Cabinet as being the second best way of...

    Tommie, as you are probably aware, there was a joint report by the EU and UK on likely consequences in NI of various BREXIt scenarios. It's publication was suppressed up to now, by agreement of both EU and UK to increase the "serenity" of the negotiations. . There had been appeals to the EU...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree with all those statements.. but let's be careful who we will be calling Losers?!. Is it those who walked away from one of the most successful and democratic organisations set up over the last 60 years or those who wished to remain. I have said it often in the past.. Be careful about...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I really believe,and fully accepting that it has been mismanaged by the London side, that the end result would not be much different. ..but we would be at this position perhaps a year ago. I am intrigued to see what will happen to the mountains of frozen food in the event of a trouble free...

    Not in the UK only. We have had a number of cases where the CEOs of regional charities were on 6 figure salaries. It has soured relationships in Ireland to a very large extent.

    You can even have Man U stickers on your car in the EU ,we don't mind. I would assume that the number plate with all the stars on a blue background ,is the bit which would be redundent.. Could I patent a transparent sticker showing a red S t Georges cross on a transparent background for...
