That red headed nationalist you mean wanting independence for Scotland only if it is bank rolled by the UK!
Yet the UK win the vote for independence and she whines and moans!
double standards shes a bleep bleep cow

You can't complain about the tyrany of Brussels and then forgo mentioning they tyrany of Westminster over Scotland.

Correct me if I'm wrong but we've only had the results from the 2nd quarter recently. There are no actual figures just predictions for post brexit growth and the figures quoted by the leave voters on here the other day had the growth for 2017 being half of what it was pre brexit.

My firm do quarterly economic projections for both UK and specifically for NI. Our growth will be highest in G7 for 2017. After that I dunno as I've not seen the figures.

Why can't you accept that the majority vote was to leave the EU.

Yeah that's right mate, we should stop talking about it.

The Irish border issue is more to do with non EU people than EU nationals. The last thing the Irish government want is a Calais situation arising on the border between the north and south, if the UK put border controls in place. As far as EU nationals go the Irish government cannot stop them coming to Ireland under the EU free movement arrangements.

So history at school was irrelevant to you was it ???

I am actually more interested in the future and the well being of my 7 year old daughters future.

Progression happened, no need to wheel it back.

It's going to be a real problem isn't it mate. One of the solutions being looked at is to have the hard border moved to Ireland's entry points - ports and airports, to enable the conditions and spirit of the Good Friday Agreementto be met. This then of course, causes issues with regards to the freedom of movement between Ireland and the rest of the EU, so hardly seems likely or practical.

You see to me just looks exactly like window dressing , they are bound by freedom of movement but they'll add some more resources to the budget and tell everyone how hard they are working.

Yes mate, tyrany. I'm sure more decisions are made for them in Westminster than those that are made in Brussels for the UK.

 

[Joey66]

i think it would be best not to refer to people as 'remoaners'

also comparing brexit to world war 2 is weird

also trade negotiating isnt like poker

Ok I have you a game now then now on here you show me your hand before I put my money on the table and then lets see how much you lose in a few hours!

swap tyrany with being bullied by the EU - they will behind this as weakness on the brexit vote in parliment this week as given them an open goal!

Further to my comments about our trading relationships being "blown apart" by Brexit, I thought it would interesting to see what the WTO has to say on a post Brexit UK and it's relationship with the WTO.....

In a recent interview with Reuters, Azevedo (WTO Director General ) passed the following comments:

On the UK and the EU's status within the WTO post Brexit:

"It is very likely that both the EU and the UK will have to negotiate with all WTO members," Azevedo said.

I don't see how just negotiating with the EU is going to obviate the necessity to establish what the parameters are between the UK and all other WTO members," Azevedo said.

On how long negotiations would take:

"It could be a few years, it could be decades. But our experience suggests that to expect smooth sailing and quick results would be a high-risk bet."

The EU has not yet finalised its WTO rights after enlarging to 25, 27 and finally 28 member states, which could add a further level of complication.

"It is not far-fetched to imagine that some members may say that it's difficult to negotiate the Brexit terms with both the EU and the UK while the current status of the EU membership is not fully ascertained," Azevedo said.

He'd come out with something similar in early June, no idea on the date of this......

The EU where we got our way 90% of the time?

Why can't you accept that the majority vote was to leave the EU.

To be honest, and it's far from snobbery, it doesn't take a genius to work out that the majority of people who voted to leave were either stuck in the past, die hard union jack boxer short wearing biffs, or those swept along in the wave of nationalism and against those foreign types thanks to big Nige and self interest guru Boris.

We were told it would have a massive effect on the economy and low and behold it is! Just when we were more stable after the 2008 recession and things were looking a tad rosier.

You can't blame people for not accepting something so crass that they did not vote for.

Can you?
