Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

not sure of the current figures but around 2000 there were a few articles saying that it was 43% catholic which was the highest in the UK , last year was the first year for catholics overtaking the church of England as the the highest number of people in the UK that actually went to church, boris johnson had a bus saying it was because of poles taking are pews.
yep lots of Irish descent here and a very large welsh one that mainly gets overlooked .
although the area going back centuries has even before immigration a long history of catholic worship, likes of little crosby even during the reformation staying firmly within the church.
not remotely into it myself , although i do pop into church now and again as it brings back memories of people that used to go with me as a kid. i like the surroundings weirdly for some reason, must be nice to have faith looks comforting to those that have.

I was always very well accepted in Liverpool it has to be said. It was never a problem being Irish and always seemed to down well with most people. We have a lot in common.

Just read Wikipedia - not one EU signature on the agreement from anyone from the EU on the GFA - the only mention is two articles on other sites that are hindsight that have been posted on this thread .......
If this was a big issue in the run up to the referendum why did the Remain party use it as such a big lever in their favour ?
Only the EU have proposed a hard border may be necessary- the republic - the Nortth , and the UK are adamant they want a soft border.......
In which most U.K. And Republic of Ireland are aiming for, and I agree with this - only the EU have weaponised this in negotiations!

Ha ha! Not one syllable made sense there!

The only problem being there is that Corbyn is talking about the dream Brexit that was proposed way back when. It won’t happen.

To be fair, he probably looks at the world and sees people (politicians) doing pretty well on selling folks dreams that have no grounding in reality and figures he'll have a bit of that.

He seems to be missing the point that the EU have said "That's the deal" Because of the Tories bumbling and childish in-fighting the EU now hold all the cards.To believe that he can sweep in and save the situation just shows the ego he has.It has no basis on any facts as they stand.

It's nice of Corbyn to start getting involved and showing his displeasure recently as he's been anonymous for the majority of the time when a strong opposition leader was needed throughout.

Again, he'd be negotiating on different terms, he doesn't want to lower worker and environmental standards, nor will he (I expect) try to protect the offshore laundering.

The EU have held all the cards in this situation from the very beginning. The idea of the UK having power over this, the whole "easiest trade deal in history" and so on was a complete myth.

It's laughable to think of now but the Leave campaign repeatedly said we could have the same level of access to the common market as we have now without free movement of people, because the EU would bow down to us and give up their enshrined freedoms to keep us happy and trading.

Ludicrous.

As for Corbyn, and Labour in general, their position makes no sense. There must be a reason for their stance but I can't for the life of me see what it is.

The problem is though that he’s still talking about things that have already been ruled out, he talks about essentially having all the benefits of being in the EU, including having a say on how things are done, whilst we aren’t actually members. It was the same dream peddled by people at the start of the process. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how a General Election and more negotiating helps. It needs to be pulled now.

Their stance is to stir the situation to force a General Election,what that might do to the economy or the citizens bothers them not!

Maybe because he never wanted to leave,and any fool would be able to see through him saying anything else.Both Tories and Labour have used this whole process for nothing but a chance for political gain.As for the general population...let them eat cake!
