John Lambies Doos Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Dara O'Briain is a bit of a c**t tbh. Quite happy to take the British pound but continually scathing of the culture. Couple yrs back I went to a show of his in Bray (his hometown); literally slagged Britain for 2hrs and then goes back to sucking the English boaby 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is excellent news for our beleaguered fishing fleet. Cearly it is neither the british nor irish border as such, but the border between the UK and the Irish republic. Considering the press can't be fucked saying "leaving the EU" and have to say brexit instead, we got off lightly here, it could be borbeukirep. loving the green and white colour scheme though. It really makes the point that this is witless drivel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might work - providing the French keep back the hordes of customs officials/inspectors/bureaucrats back until we've got enough supplies across...

And so did Cambridge and several other English population centres, but the aggregated English vote was 'Leave'. I don't see a flaw.

Granny Danger Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 National Audit Office warn about the potential impact of Brexit. BBC report it. Morons accuse BBC of scaremongering. No you fucking arseholes they are reporting the views of a government department whose job it is to monitor and report on such things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRob72 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 If the border with the Republic of Ireland is the REAL sticking point here, why not just leave things as they are for the time being and agree an extended transitional period, until a practical solution can be resolved that works (the best it can) for both sides? Will it mean that there will be a sudden influx of contraband into the U.K or a surge of non EU/EFTA Citizens attempting to cross the border unlawfully? I don’t think so. We’re talking about a single land border here, not *multiple bi-lateral agreements.The same current checks on goods and people entering the U.K. via Ports and Airports in the Republic will continue, and the UK pays the ROI a fair contribution for maintaining them in the meantime.For or against Brexit, things have to move pretty sharpish with March 29th fast approaching.Is this simple suggestion unworkable as a temporary measure and fraught with other difficulties? Genuine question. (*As previously suggested by others, in the longer term, number plate recognition technology could be used to ASSIST with the continued flow of daily/regular border crossings at the main exchange points between Northern Ireland and the Republic; employment, local trade, shopping & leisure for example. Congestion charge & bridge toll operators seem to to be able to use ANPR across other parts of the UK without too much difficulty) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question. There are an insane amount of gammony "WE VOTED TO LEAVE JUST GET ON WITH IT" folk in the country, who thought that we'd just walk away from the EU the day after the referendum. Given that most of them will be Tories, the Government wouldn't survive extending the transition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
