Lest you have forgotten, it was the north that wanted to leave the EU.
I still do not buy your 'doom and gloom' scenario, Andrew. We will still trade with the EU, and the rest of the world is our oyster.
I don't believe these forecasts you keep referring to for one minute. Time and time again, they have been proved wrong, by underestimating Britain's capacity to adjust. They will be proved wrong again.

There was also a majority to leave in the South-East, the South-West, the East, the West Midlands, the East Midlands, and Wales - none of which are in the ”North"...

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
I didn’t vote remain. Mind you, as I’m not a nationalist I don’t confuse myself with Scotland, nor do I assume that the whole of Scotland agrees with me.

I would dispute that statement. The 52% that voted leave were distributed fairly evenly.
Although, when the represent how people voted on a constituency basis it skews it diagrammatically

All of Scotland? Really?
Because for the last 3 years you’ve been reminding everyone on here, on a near daily basis, how not everyone in the U.K. voted leave.
So at least, using your logic now in how you interpret the Scottish vote, you now accept the U.K. as a whole, as a bloc, voted leave.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
In other news: The Telegraph seems to be a getting a bit more realistic of late and is now reporting on the future significant negative impacts of Brexit, beginning with Northern Ireland.
Quote:
An industry insider tells me a supermarket has calculated the cost of putting a single 'mixed' container (meat, fish, dairy) goods from GB to NI at £6,000 - or "half total value of consignment". This is a serious #Brexit issue.
I caveat the above by saying I am not privy to the methodology, but people who understand this stuff have checked it, and say it makes sense.
This the cost of compliance - vet decs etc, with SPS (animal health) stuff being the biggest burden. Why does this matter?
Because if you think about it, the Northern Irish "frontstop" is the FIRST moment where the #Brexit rubber actually hits the road - until now it's all been transition and obfuscation. This the first attempt at actually doing real stuff. And the UK govt is balking.
If those numbers are even half-right, you can see why.
There have been other numbers - the UK impact assessment spoke of £15-£56 per declaration, but this aggregate figure puts it into serious perspective....
This also puts into perspective the kind of incendiary language that @JP_Biz reported from the NI assembly yesterday - NI agri minister saying the protocol was "hugely damaging". One member called it a "punishment beating" for supporting #Brexit

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
As expected, the first negotiating session with the arrogant EU has hit the barriers. Never mind accusations that Boris was always Going for no deal, the EU is taking the talks in that direction.
What don’t they understand about the word ‘sovereignty’? They seem to think that only their sovereignty counts and respect for ours doesn’t.
The bleaters here may well argue that they said Brexit would be a bad thing. But I am clearer than ever, being in bed with that arrogant, undemocratic and disrespectful institution would be much worse as they turn the screw on us.

I'm irked at the pedantry. Anybody who reads the papers would have known what I was writing about.
The point is that the UK is unlikely to continue negotiating with these arrogant people. Indeed the Guvmin has made it perfectly clear they they will walk away from talks in June if there is no obvious sign of a deal (I suppose Chris will want a link for that).

As I posted that news, with a link, over a week ago, you needn’t bother.
