Current Affairs Irish Border and Brexit

Do you understand the concept of arguing over nothing......

Yep.

What says 4% ? Why don't you quote the whole post instead of selecting a line from it and then comparing it to something you didn't quote.

Read the reply above which explains what the 4% refers to. Nowhere do they project a 4% difference in the growth rate between a deal scenario and a no deal one.

Can't seem to find you original post ?

You should put that on a T-shirt and wear it down the pub

Don't understand all this debate. They are just going to delay brexit in 5 weeks time. And then delay it again. And again. And again. And so on. And then the so called transition period will be longer than an Everton transitional period.

Nothing is actually going to change. It rarely does.

I think the focus will now be on Varadkar and his mate. It’s all well and good sticking it to the U.K. with this backstop, but Ireland will suffer, and properly suffer, if no deal happens.....the EU will soon look to the German economy and it’s likely depression......

The only person the focus will be on is Teresa May. Trying to blame Irish government ministers for the shambles created in Westminster won't wash.

The peace will be protected despite the economic consequences, and the backstop is necessary to ensure that, so it won't be dropped. End of.

What a bizarre line of thinking.

We've voted for something to affect the UK, which we know will be damaging, but you might be caught in the crossfire so it's your responsibility to prevent it.

Let's not forget that Theresa May enacted A.50 knowing full well that the referendum was dodgy, that at the end of it, in a no deal, we leave with nothing. It's getting closer to that time and we're pushing everything to the wire.

Just a quick reminder of what we are losing under a no deal:

The day May took those cretins the DUP on board was the beginning of the end.

We could have said 'we told you so',

But we actually did!

You can't blame the DUP for the mess the Conservative Party has managed to get itself and the country in. The DUP are what they are, they are very open in their beliefs for a political party. Theresa May climbed into bed with them and now she is paying the price.

 

[Ron Swanson]

May needs the DUP to govern, not to get a brexit deal. If she had any balls she'd do what is right for NI, get a proper deal that has cross party support, and call the DUP's bluff. Will they risk a labour government? No way.

I shall miss Samuel A when the Tories no longer need the useful idiots in the DUP and wee Sammy is returned to the obscurity feom whence he came

 

[Redstarrob]

Indeed.

If Brexit was to serve one useful purpose it should have been for us to take the opportunity to right a great historic wrong and leave Ireland free to go its own way.

Brexit stage 2 should be to complete our withdrawal from the island of Ireland, a process began in 1922 and could easily be completed in 2022.

This was slowly inevitable before Brexit was ever dreamed off.....but Brexit has brought the timetable way forward as the unholy alliance of Tory Brexiteers, the DUP and to its shame, Corbyn’s Labour Party is in the process or making rebels of even the most moderate of Irish nationalist opinion in Northern Ireland.

I think you'll find the majority of people dont want a united ireland

The tragedy is that the majority of the people, ie, England, dont really care either way. If it delivers their milk and honey post EU nirvana.
