Cable Forum - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

Oh that's very nice. Peaceful protesters should be beaten up ??? Hitler would have been proud (and I'm not the one to introduce Hitler into this thread).

Oh that he had been peaceful!

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion

I want to make it absolutely clear to those who are sore about the Referendum result's implementation that the perfidious Varadkar is deliberately pissing the UK off so as to boost the anti-UK vote in the forthcoming Irish GE.

Thus anyone defending or rationalising what that perfidious politician has to say needs to re-evaluate themselves. If we drop out in 11 months' time with no deal, then his country is a far bigger loser than we would be.

We are a G7 country and as one observer put it somewhere, Ireland ranks 46 in the economy table. And when the EU federates, Ireland will not be a country, it will be a mere state akin to Iowa (but half the size and the same population) or something like that. The EU state of Poland is 4x Ireland's size and 10x population. Ireland will be nothing and may well have lost our market.

Varadkar is the last person who should be reminding us of the EU's size.

I appreciate the sentiment, Pip. But perfidious really is the best handle. Most of the others (coloured grey above) are off the mark. Also I would appreciate greater uptake of the case I'm making out!

I try to be deliberate about my wording.

One thing I'm not is Hugh!

As regards Varadkar Seph, I take a tougher line than you. Screw him and what he thinks or wants.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion

On another note - the EU Parliament had fun and games a couple of hours ago as Farage's lot waved Union flags (and were told to take them away and go) whilst the Lib-Dems (the 'Bollocks to Brexit mob) sang Auld Lang Syne.
