RE: Brexit - what a joke!!!21 Jul 2018 11:18
If the EU can make a backstop which takes a position on a sovereign nation then I highlight that with the above which, with Eire's consent would make more sense than sticking with its EU option. They have voted before and were persuaded to have a second one which underlines the EU modus operandi. At the moment with Brexit the mandarins of the EU have no proposals because they are just watching us fall to pieces as we argue their case for them giving away more concessions. Re-ignite the Irish referendum issue as a counter offer if the Irish see fit to go along with it. Co-operation with EU on trade has been good but when it becomes a stifling bureaucracy something has gone wrong. The whole world wants environmental good practice- that does not require the EU.
