Current Affairs EU In or Out

It's the thought that counts!

None of them should be giving gifts to each other which are funded by the tax payers
of each respective country. It’s a joke and it’s not a funny one.

If you have bothered to read my posts properly you would have seen that I have said that the Northern Ireland protocol of the withdrawal agreement is not working. It was badly thought through or possibly not thought through at all.

I am merely coming up with what I believe is a workable alternative suggestion to prevent a "hard border" being put up by the EU. It's not a new idea but has been dismissed by the EU. I'm asking somebody to explain why that wouldn't work.

It would solve a massive problem and would show flexibility on the part of the EU which is what is needed now as the UK is hamstrung by the original agreement.

There is already a natural border between Eire and NI. The movement of people across this border is not an issue as it is covered by the CTA which the EU have acknowledged. So it is only goods and produce that need to be checked. I'm saying why do these checkpoints have to be on the border? Why can't they be a few miles inside the Republic, so as not to cause any issue with the northern republicans. It isn't the creation of a new border at all, they are just checkpoints so EU officials can check the produce.

Is there?

Where is it mate?

Probably what happens when you portray yourself as an untrustworthy chancer.

You can't blame the EU for your own incoherence!

But the UK government and media are constantly telling the British people just the opposite. And unfortunately a big proportion of them believe it.

Fishing industry, Brexit it was this big the one that got away... Hook line and sinker, term used in angling to catch stupid greedy little fish.

End of the line? How Brexit left Hull’s fishing industry facing extinction

The UK’s departure from the EU was supposed to reinvigorate our fishing industry. Instead, it has forced the country’s last distant-water trawler to sit idle

No wonder....

“According to a recent poll, commissioned by the Gaullist Le Millénaire think tank, Boris Johnson is France’s favourite national politician, with 51 per cent of the French having a favourable opinion of him. This puts him well ahead of Emmanuel Macron (33 per cent), Marine Le Pen (28 per cent), or the current likely conservative presidential candidate, Xavier Bertrand, 29 per cent.”

It's unlike you to parrot the Telegraph Pete Those findings probably reflect more the feelings of Le Millenaire than of the French public.

Probably, but Macron has an election next year. It does however give an indication of just how popular Boris is though.......

yes, the fact that he has to have multiple papers coming out with absolute crap boosting him on such a regular basis should tell us all how popular Johnson is
