Granny Danger Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Leaving the EU would be a piece of cake if people were prepared to accept a hard border in Ireland. I am not being flippant. I think it would cause huge damage but that issue aside any kind of Brexit could be agreed. As an aside that’s yet another poster from this forum I have put on ignore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving would also be a lot easier if there were no border and a customs union. What's difficult is leading the EU, no hard border and no customs union. And despite booting the can along a road for years now, that's the best the UK can come up with. It wasn't an option over 2 years ago and it's not an option now. Still, £350m a week saved eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leave campaign just wrote some made up shit on a bus. Not just the leave campaign - think there was an item on BBC news that the government itself had absolutely no plans in place for a potential Leave vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us had worked that out for ourselves without the need of a BBC news item. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-46109213 Really bad news for Dundee. Lots of talk about a change in demand being to blame. There is no mention, but Brexit, and the likely impending trade barriers to the EU must have been a factor. Many more such shocks to come I fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Britain's place in the world... https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/brexit-is-teaching-britain-its-true-place-in-the-world-1.3688454 Quote Now the nation is facing the painful truth that the UK is not as pre-eminent as it has liked to believe. For proof, look at the negotiations over the Irish border. One need not get into the rights and wrongs to see that the UK has essentially been pushed around by Ireland, because the EU has thrown its weight behind the demands of its continuing member. The hard fact is that the power imbalance has meant the UK is being forced to choose between the chaos of a no-deal Brexit or undermining the constitutional integrity of one of its four sovereign parts and signing up to a significant amount of rule-taking. This is what happens when a single country that is not America or China negotiates with a global trading bloc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 https://mobile.twitter.com/libby_brooks/status/1060496396300812290 The SNP may have just given Westminter MP's the power to reverse this whole cluster. Absolute scenes if the ECJ rule the UK parley can overturn article 50. Will Corbyn suddenly develop a spine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
