Oyster, I find myself in agreement with you. One of the arguments trotted out is that children on their way to school will be knocked down,with the assumption it won't happen in the evening. I believe that there is a better chance and lower potential mortality, when people are awake in the...

That would be the non drying vandal proof paint I suppose?.

Rather outspoken for a police officer. But I do find his views compelling. What is not helping of course is the absence of any assembly in NI. In a recent visit, to Belfast, aabd I am now visiting weekly, I saw in the city centre a large graffiti notice to the effect that people without voices...

I fully agree with the sentiments of the first half of this posting,and would have flagged agree. However, that would have meant agreeing with the second half , where I have said I will not comment on internal UK politics. . Hence this response.

It may not be linked with BREXIt, but I do believe it is. Yesterday a local food company here in Dundalk, filed for recievership. It employs 190 people. It's product range is frozen microwaved dinners, and their major markets include ICELAND and ASDA. . So the market in England ,and presumably...

If the British parliament moved and passed legislation setting a date for a referendum, it is inconscievable that the European Union Council would not extend the exit date.

As a certain Arthur Wellesely, who was born in Dublin and went to secondary school in Drogheda , used to say ... ,being born in a stable,does not make one a horse.

.. again and again, this is a proposal which needs UNANIMOUS support from the 27 members of the European Council. I would consider this likely,but not assured. . Say a 70/ 30 or 80/20 bet. And if the rhetoric from London continues at its offensive level, maybe 90/10 . This is in the grounds...

Not terribly important, but Handel finished it in Dublin,scored it for two church choirs and then premiered it in Dublin. One would have hoped that senior Tories would remember that in the 1700s ,Ireland was a separate country,as the act of union was 1801.

The "rabid Remainers" know or knew what would and will happen in the event of the UK remaining. It is the " Brave Brexiteers" who do not know what will happen in a future, and yet crave for it.,whereas the Rabid Remainers, who also do not know what the future outside the EU will bring, do fear...

Ireland will not agree to any time limited backstop. It is almost certain to get enough support at the European Council for that position. What it will agree .to will be verified procedures which if implemented make the backstop unnecessary. The British Government ,and by extension,the press...

And if they don't have tariffs,how is the UK government going to pay its teachers, policemen, hospitals!.

So you are not at all worried about vast amounts of drugs coming up from Africa and flooding into Belfast, , borders flow both both ways.

.. there will be no time... To hold a referendum, and even were it done at the last minute, why do you think that sober Germans,Dutch etc would go fot it

As before, I won't make comment on the British parliament, but if it is supreme, then it must act supreme.

.. Yes that may well be the case, but that will not be the EUs problem. Schrödinger's cat if you will.

You do not have to buy Bosch, it is a voluntary action on your part ,as it is theirs to supply you with goods for a certain sum of money. They are not refusing to sell to you, because you are green or black. There is no compulsion on them to sell anything except via registered dealers, just as...

What i understand is that a draft agreement was produced last December,called the Backstop. There is and was no end date on this agreement. The next ploy by certain BREXIteers is to fantasise that this was time limited,. . It wasn't and isn't ,otherwise it would have been in the agreed text.

.. exactly what i have been posting here.

Got my moment of fame today.. interviewed as a shopper by the French Radio station Europe 1 , on the topic of BREXIT .. and the NI border.. fame at last !!.
