Unbiased source please.

Will them saying it themselves do, or does it have to be Sputnik?

Nigel et al want a no deal Brexit, which will automatically bin GFA. That means no US trade deal, even if the Stable Genius throws another tantrum; for he cannot make an FTA on his own.

On the whole it's gone quiet on the Brexit front, since we were graciously granted the Halloween extension.
Blame Notre-Dame I guess.

They'll probably be a snack or something next week to keep it quiet for a while longer...

Stuff will start happening again on Tuesday when the House of Commons returns from their holidays recess.

Climate change protest people will still be sitting in the roads and pissing everyone off?

This thing about the hard border is a good point, I've not really 'got it'.

If we don't want it, Ireland don't want it, the EU doesn't want it.

Why the fuck do we have to have it?

I think what I've highlighted above is your mistake, and why you are getting confused.

Look, it's really very simple.
If we leave the EU, they want a hard border between Eire and NI.
Unless they can get their mitts on NI as well, through a united Ireland, which they would prefer.
Which could mean they get to keep all of the UK for themselves, which they would prefer even more.

Just depends on how the cards play out.

The can want all they like, do we have to obey them if we leave the EU? Is there a hard border on all other EU perimeters, even ones with an Island with a border? I doubt it. This is being used as a tool for the EU to beat Brexit with and our government have fallen for it, or more likely gone along with them.


Yes, I agree, it's just a tactic to dupe the dumbest politicians on earth (i.e. ours).

Simple solution: give them that sponging, violent, useless piece of real estate and be done with it.

It's perfectly manageable to have electronic freight clearance with no need to have a hard border, even for human checks, just as it doesn't have now, when Northern Ireland is already not part of the Schengen zone.


What you are describing is a deal. One involving unicorns, but that's another thing; in any case it's some kind of a deal.
On the other hand, you, together with other devotees of Borism-Nigelism, want no deal.

One thing is having a deal. The other is having no deal. They are different, and mutually exclusive. I hope it's clear enough now Thumbs Up

We leave on WTO terms,

That means that GFA is dead. That means no deal with USA.

we do what we and Ireland want on that border.


So you persuade Ireland to forego its deal with other EU countries, and deal with us instead. Because this approach has worked so well for the last 3 years Laughing

Makes perfect sense Laughing

Yes, we do; in the Irish Sea, after we've dumped NI on the EU.

The greatest threat to peace in Northern Ireland must be the failure of its devolved government to even sit together since 2017. The old, savagely sectarian politics hasn't gone away but no one will admit it because that problem was supposed to have been solved. Brexit and the GFA? Meh!

It would be interesting to see what happened.

Town halls in London have started sending letters to hundreds of thousands of non-British EU citizens living in the capital telling them that they can vote here in the elections.

Lewisham, the lead borough for the election, explained: “If you are an EU citizen registered to vote in the UK, you are not automatically registered to vote at the European Parliamentary election on 23 May 2019.

“European Union citizens can choose to vote in the UK or their home country at this election. We are sending a registration form to all EU citizens who are on our electoral register. You must complete this form if you wish to vote in the UK.”

If the European elections are not staged in the UK, which the Government is desperately seeking to achieve by getting the Withdrawal Agreement Bill through Parliament, then EU citizens would still be able to vote in their home country even if they have registered to do so here.


Looks like the government are resorting to cheating now in order to make them look less shit when Farage's party kicks their arse in the EU elections.

Convincing non UK citizens to vote in the UK elections is a new low from a desperate Remain government. .

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/back-public-vote-on-brexit-or-hand-europe-victory-to-nigel-farage-voters-tell-jeremy-corbyn-a4120156.html


This is about the EU parliament elections, in which EU citizens living in UK can vote. These elections are different from UK general elections; it can be super confusing, I know. It's like cardinal and cardigan; who can possibly tell the two apart?
