You won't find me disagreeing with that assessment. The policy of proxy bombs in the early days was utterly repugnant. However the long term insistence by the British government that it was not a war makes that case more difficult.

It is with a sense of pleasure that I note his imminent retirement.

I dont think I had excluded traffic from third countries direct to NI ports.. the special EU economic area called NI would have catered for that. Or if not , Uk and EU customs would designate NI ports as regional and not international, so all traffic there from outside the uk or eu would be...

That is the SF position. Now as I understand it, that requires a whole ireland poll, and requires the British government enacting a bill to allow a poll to take place in NI. All these eventualities are included in the Good Friday Agreement. As the DUP are keeping the minority government in...

Lily gilding time again. That Ms Foster wants a sensible result is fine and. dandy. That is a far cry from stating that herself and Leo had had a deal scuppered by the big bad wolves of the EU.. We also want a sensible result.

Obviously the scenario you paint is utterly unacceptable. As would the drugs and guns smuggled from south America and eastern Europe and appearing on the streets of Glasgow and London. As I provided previously there are 5 viable solutions (6 if one includes Tommies highly impracticable one. )...

I did say majority of people on the island. It might also include a significant minority from your neck of the woods. ... Ooh didn't 56% of those also want to remain in the EU?. Tommie I don't want to be pushing this, but intransigence on this issue by the DUP could well drive a new border...

Evidence please...

I once had that problem and my solution was araladite Epoxy resin. .mix and. apply the glue,onto the shaft and pedal crank screw the parts together and leave until set. I can state the fix lasts 30 years. When i needed to break the seal, i used a flame..

To What irish lady are you referring ? name please. . To us no border is the acceptable position, all other schemes are less and less acceptable. But since you ask, the majority of people on the island of Ireland would prefer border posts at cairnryan, liverpool, holyhead, and swansea.

No. No. I have never ever accused Woosh of incompetence. My family and friends would be amused to have me described as "lefty" , unless they were referring to my ambidextrous nature. I once bought my son a t shirt in a shop selling items for those who are sinster or left handed. In Ireland the...

Dave... Some of these are strawman arguements, set up for the purpose of jnocking them down. 1. The irish are not being unreasonable in respect to a border. We dont want one. That is a reasonable stance. We have provided plenty of reasons why a border on the landmass of ireland is not a good...

As I said its difficult to know where to start... Yours was a global sentence implying that things were absolutely bad and could not get worse. As a proposition that is so obviously wrong.. . In a world were people are dying from lack of clean water, open sewage, no medicines, genocide...

Woosh said.. "People voted for it because any change is better thanthepresent." The nonsense implied by that sentence is so monumental one does not know where to start.

.. but they already have it . It goes by a funny name .. membership of the EU

The attached is a report prepared by Irish embassy staff, . It was not intended for general publication. But it is interesting that it dies not diverge much from the opinion I provided some days ago. It is of course more authoritive.Nobody in the eu wants to humiliate the UK, but ut is a case...

Governments change their mind, parliament's change their mind. Laws get enacted and repealed. A publicity flyer does not even have the weight of a government decision let alone that of a parliamentary bill. The moral duty , even if had existed, and its author has resigned because he would not...

Brexit is not guaranteed to fail, likewise it is not guaranteed to succeed. There are predictors that it will make life harder on UK subjects. Many of them have been aired by now. And the EU is about more than trade deals...as you with your entitlement to bolt back to France full well realise...

It wasn't even the will of the people. 17\15 with a substantial tranche of the people most effected disallowed from voting. If it were, the politicians in the UK have a moral duty to lead their people. They are not their representatives as much as their leaders. In this they have a different...

Probably going to happen!!! . The point OG and others are making is that there is no good Brexit, just bad and degrees of worse. So asking them for their preferred version is zero, followed by very close to the same.
