Into the realm of pure fantasy now, Val.

Brexit wasn't the sort of divorce where the two parties remain friends this is more your Amber Turd vs Johnny Depp fighting over custody of Northern Ireland.

Pirates and Atlanteans, it just doesn't work!

Exactly my point is Brexit that you can have simultaneously a Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn oven ready deal and then to behave like Amber Turd vs Johnny Depp is not possible.

No matter who will come after Johnson you cannot have a great Brexit, because there is no such thing.

This will break the Tory party and will break Labour too, Starmer imaginary good Brexit is a polished turd.

No matter how you polish it Brexit always will be a turd with all the consequences for the UK, Northern Ireland etc.

What “consequences of Brexit” do you think you’re seeing now which aren’t afflicting the rest of the world too?

The British people are f£#ked whatever as in or out of the EU GB is run by and for an establishment elite, a peculiar mix of individuals, corporate interests, institutions and a highly developed cultural status quo. Brexit was just a diversion. The ordinary Briton knows deep down nothing much will change and their turning their backs on the EU was in part turning to face the awful reality of what they already know their true relationship with the powers that be is. The EU for all its promises was never going to deliver anything for the British people.

I think this whole episode reflects refreshingly well on the UK system of government. Judge a democracy on its ability to get rid of its rulers if the people consider them unfit for purpose. And make no mistake, if he hadn't have gone volountarily, he would still have gone, this was the civilised way.

Contrast this to the EU. For example, how would one get rid of Ursula von der Leyen?

NI has no government? The UK cost of Brexit is $170bl. That is about 10 years worth of the NHS budget or 47 years paying EU contributions.

Red tape caused a “steep decline” in the number of trading relationships after January 2021, according to a study by the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics. It found that the number of buyer-seller relationships fell by almost one-third.

They didn't before Brexit either, they were all sitting at home sulking and not talking to one another about a cocked up woodfired boiler scheme. Brexit is just this seasons excuse.

The NI assembly use refusing to sit as a trump card to get their own way instead of what most reasonable adults do which is to turn up to the meeting, put forward their position, suggest solutions and hash out their differences.

A coherent and clear position statement of what they exactly want to happen issued by the NI assembly following a majority vote would carry a lot more clout both nationally and internationally than a bunch of squabbling children refusing to even turn up.
