Brexit: What do you think will happen?

That's a bold move given that most of the vaccine manufacturers involved also have production facilities located outside the EU...

EDIT:

Do we now threaten the EU with prosecution for breaking international law by breaching the Good Friday agreement?

...aaand, they’ve had to change their minds about article 16. What a shower!

No good picking your cards back up off the table once everyone knows what hand you're playing.

EDIT: And if you break international law, then change your mind, did it still happen?

If I steal a car but bring it back again, do I still go to jail?

The interesting thing is they never even told ireland they were going to mess around with the border. If there was ever an indication of how the EU isn't answerable to anyone this is it.

As Stinkwheel says, the fact they have redacted it doesn't matter in th context they were quite willing to do it in the first place.

Spain have said 'It was an accident'

To add to the confusion, Spanish foreign minister Arancha Gonzalez-Laya said the triggering of Article 16 was done by ‘accident’. She told BBC Newsnight: ‘I understand, and this is what I hear from the European Commission, that there was an accident. ‘The accident or the mishap has been repaired and I think that is important.’

[quote=“Metro”]Irish premier Micheal Martin was straight on the phone to European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen to express his opposition.[/quote]

Interesting that the Commission has one member from each “member state” so there would have been an Irish representative, yet he (Phil Hogan) must have felt entitled to act as the sole arbiter without consulting even the elected leader of the nation. I doubt many people in Ireland will know much about Hogan. Who was the last UK commissioner? Sir Julian Beresford King. Yeah, me neither, yet it appears he would have had great power.

Proposals to “streamline” decision-making from the likes of Guy Verhofstadt would reduce that 27-member politburo to a mere handful, supposedly being rotated around the bloc to give a veneer of democracy. It’s not hard to see it would inevitably become dominated by France and Germany. I mean, if it was happening now you can’t imagine Hungary or Poland (current EU bad boys) turn being allowed.

Democracy... we've heard of it.

So.

von der Leyen's chief spokesmans response to the whole Irish border debacle was to state... And I shit you not!

"Only the Pope is infallible, you know?"

Well, I'm sure that will calm things right down.

If you want the Gold Standard of hopeless press secretaries, you have to check out the empty, rambling, off-topic and flustered replies of Jen Psaki, the US government's new offering. Come back Kayleigh!
