Just how could a Westminster government headed towards brexit endorse and act on a remain majority in NI?

I know but I assumed that the suggestion was for another vote. Don't think a rerun would change the result.

Common nonsense. Why should we in mainland find ourselves with a hard border between us and NI? What if NI say they want no brexit?

But those examples are not the UK. NI is part of the UK and Scotland and Wales also have devolved governments (which are active unlike Stormont).

Just why should NI have different benefits to the rest of the UK?

Please list any countries or supranational organisations which do NOT have a problem with democracy? Or local councils, states, whatever other level you wish to discuss. Democracy is always a problem. It is always necessary to fight for it. And in the real-world it is always going to be far...

At one time it felt as if Farage, surely he counts as a leaver?, was the most prominent person on program after program. Not just "news", but the secondary exposure - Have I Got News For You, Radio 4 having lunch with, etc. No, I have not done the detailed research that this organisation...

I beg your pardon? " CapX was founded to make the case for popular capitalism: now more than ever, it is vital that the case is made for markets, innovation and competition, and for policies that deliver for the masses as well as the elites. To that end, our team monitors thousands of news...

Yes, the EU does exert some control over the UK. What is rarely mentioned is that the UK does exert some control over the other 27. There is some degree of balance - it is not all one-way.

A long time before the EU! Apparently in the 1870s we were only around 70% self-sufficient. (It got worse after that!) Think you have to go back another century or so to get to being full self-sufficient. http://www.agr.kyushu-u.ac.jp/foodsci/4_paper_Colman.pdf

I strongly suspect the EU actually wanted us not to trigger A50.

No-deal Brexit: EU warns its citizens to prepare for the worst Bloc issues 16-page document and leaves open possibility of visa requirement for Britons https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/19/no-deal-brexit-eu-warns-citizens-prepare-for-worst

Isn't this one of the big issues? - that we simply can't start out from day zero post brexit as fully fledged WTO members operating that regime.

Something of an assumption this far out from it!

The UK has not ratified the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic and when we do, IDPs will be required. 3. International driving permits By ratifying the Convention, the UK will be able to issue 1968-format IDPs in accordance with the Convention. These are physical documents which accompany...

This issue has been highlighted before, but no further forward, it seems: No plan in place for Brexit driving permits surge, say auditors Post offices could need to issue up to 7m permits in first 12 months after no-deal Brexit...

Gives me an idea. How about building Heathrow's third runway outside Dublin? It avoids so many of the issues of doing so in London. Might really help Pembroke Dock, Fishguard and Holyhead. BJ can still go and lie under the bulldozers (or to anyone who can hear him). In fact, maybe that would be...

A thought something like that passed through my mind - but having not seen the original advert, obviously cannot comment. (Also very easy to overdo the hype and put people off.)

The 1989 model I see on following that link looks a very interesting form of shaft drive.

Not if: Shimano's primary manufacturing plants are in Kunshan, China; Malaysia; and Singapore.
