Current Affairs EU In or Out

No he won't, unless he agrees to an NI only backstop.

And if he doesn't, Parliament will stop No Deal when he tries to prorogue it.

There's a constitutional crisis coming up, all of your own making.

BTW.....dollars to doughnuts that deal will be the eminently sensible NI only Backstop, Peter

As far as I can see that can only be good for Northern Ireland. Lots of investment as EU friendly business's flock to the region, and the rest of the country is able to move on whilst the two sides start negotiating on our future relationship.

I really don't see why anybody would be against it.

Exactly, Barney.

And the majority of people in NI are in favour of it.

Without even looking into this, I'm 100% confident you will find this will be a call for an agreement between European countries to provide warships to escort convoys of European ships through the straights of Hormuz during the current conflict. Makes absolute sense if you ask me.

But some remain supporter obviously sees it as an opportunity to twist it to suit their agenda. As I've said all along, it isn't just one side that misrepresents the truth to suit their purpose in the Brexit saga.

I think a No deal would be bad for everyone. However Parliament has rejected the only deal on the table 3 times. We were supposed to leave and for the sake of our own democracy we must leave. The intransigence is purely on the side of the ROI for not embracing any other solution apart from the one in the rejected deal. May would have kept kicking the can down the road and the EU would have been more than happy for this to continue. But it needs bringing to a conclusion, if the EU refuses to change part of the deal that has been thrown out by Parliament 3 times then there will be no deal....

There's only one word to describe that contention - bollocks.

The solution was agreed between the EU and the UK in December 2017; a backstop for NI to keep it in the Single Market and preserve the all Ireland economy. It is still available.

The intransigence is on the part of your increasingly hard right tory government who won't get out of bed with the DUP.

You have some nerve trying blame the Irish government for your own tory government's incompetence.

And your "for the sake of our own democracy" comment rings hollow.

To take the UK out of the the EU with no deal is just about the most anti-democratic thing that could happen. The people don't want it and parliament doesn't want it. People aren't stupid; even people who want to leave the EU know it would be catastrophic.

Agree to the NI backstop and this can all be sorted tomorrow.

 

[Mr. White]

You couldn't make it up.

You couldn't make what up?

That it's not possible for nations to work together and cooperate together, if they are not in a political union? Actually, you can. As has been proven.

But you know what, it’s going to happen anyway, enjoy.....

Kinell...

One of your better thought out responses......

 

[Charlie Sweet]

I think the problem is that from the very beginning Remainers have pulled every trick and undermined every attempt to obtain a sensible negotiated outcome for the sole purpose of attempting to reverse the decision to leave. If they had thrown themselves behind leaving with a good deal I do not believe we would be in this situation. Even now the remainer in chief, Hammond refuses to resign for not voting with the government, but will resign as soon as Boris is named leader. I can appreciate that those who don’t wish to leave may find this uncomfortable, but those of us, the majority, who did vote to leave are absolutely furious at the way our politicians are behaving.....

Pete this is such a biased view on things.

Parliament was left with a half baked idea and told to try and sort it. As said above the NI only backstop was the solution but the rabid DUP mob got hold of it. That's all there is to it.

Thanks for that, it means a lot coming from you mate.

Whilst we're giving one another advice, maybe you could find a means of identifying a circular argument, this may help improve your assimilation.

Well seeing as the UK had originally impounted the Iranian oil tanker for breaking EU sanctions it seems correct to ask them for help to counteract any danger coming from that action.
THe ship the Iranians have taken is Swedish owned and has no UK crew, just registered in the UK so it's a international situation not a UK one alone.

Hammond and the rest should have resigned or been sacked for defying a tory 3 line whip that's what normally happens, not much of a statement to hand your notice in when your going out the door anyway.
Yet another case of weak as p May has been to leave it to the new PM the coward.

May should have resigned after suffering two of the biggest defeats in parliamentary history. Shoulda woulda coulda.

should have gone long ago, then again looking at the line up of leaders on show in the various parties none really inspire you with very much confidence.

Well yes, the alternatives in the Tory party are how she got the job in the first place. Dreadful but at least not Johnson.
