Question from a thick leaver ;)

What sort of border does the EU want Ireland to have?

Re: Brexit discussion
 

One which doesn't have a physical presence in order for people to go back and forth across it as if it were the same country.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

oh . . . but they can't have that if the UK leave can they?

Re: Brexit discussion
 

That's easy the republic can become part of the UK .

Re: Brexit discussion
 

I am sure that idea will be popular.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

The EU is duplicitous on the Irish border question. It is a lever they are pulling to try and make us stay in the Customs Union etc. Then we would be rule takers unable to trade freely on our own part.

And don’t forget France, who have blocked CAP reform; Germany who has engineered the whole thing so that the cash comes to them at every one else's cost.

The Irish border question is a complete red herring orchestrated by the Brussels turds and the perfidious Varadkar.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

or they can remain in the EU . . in which case the EU needs to look at ways in which to protect 'their' border against us nasty people in the UK :D

I wouldn't bother, he was just trolling ..

Great to see the UK winning large warship contract from Australia. Shows that we can successfully trade with the rest of the world whilst still in the EU.

Better not, you might lose your grip. 😁

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Yes, you can, Andrew. As I keep saying, you need to think outside the box.

Just bake another cake. Simples. :D

What they want and what they will get might be two different things!

It will be a virtual border, monitored by technology. The EU is trying to make that idea appear nonsense to get leverage, but in fact it is perfectly possible. There will also be monitoring with cameras, but not necessarily on the actual border itself.

My bet is on the 'maximum facilitation' method or a variant of it. That makes perfect sense to me.

That may be their stance, but that's just to keep the pressure up to intimidate Brussells and the remainer extremists.

As long as we secure a dealmwith the EU that provides for us to trade with the rest of the wofld outside of the EU's jurisdiction, I am sure that most Brexiteers will be satisfied.

If we end up with WTO rules, that will be a Brussells failure, and they will live to regret it.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

You can see a narrative forming here: if Mrs May does not get a "good" deal, one that both the EU and the UK can agree on then we fall back to WTO rules with all that entails. Of course, when this happens, we will patently worse off, in many respects than now, so what we will see from the Brexiteers and the right wing press is a proclamation of 'Betrayal!"

Just watch ... :)

Re: Brexit discussion
 

The Cabinet has an away week at Chequers lined up so by this time next week we should finally know what kind of relationship the Country wants with the EU and its solution to ensuring a soft border can be maintained in Ireland.
Rumours that BoJo might be forced to resign. No longer seen as a threat by May due to his declining popularity in the Party and recent actions.
