As I have said many times before on this thread, solutions to intractable problems are often found by thinking outside of the box.
The NI border issue is a complete red herring and is not a 'barrier' to a successful Brexit. Solutions are available, although Barnier seems to enjoy rejecting everything put in front of him. He'd better make the most of it, because the clock is ticking (tick tock  ) and it will soon be time for him to get real and stop messing about. |
Barney knows that, it's bluff pure and simple and I like the rhetoric we are using, no deal is back on the table, as is the prospect of losing our contributions fully and having a neighbour who doesn't give a toss about his fair and level playing field. All this talk of businesses leaving is all to do with money to, they're worried their bottom line will be effected, that's why imo the end deal will look remarkably similar to what we have now in all respects and the only people that'll upset is the extremists on both sides and who frankly gives a toss about them
