. . . surely 100,000 out of 600,000 weren't foreign and gone home, leaving all those big wages behind |
A lot of European companies pay their drivers by the kilometre, if you're held up at boarders now or there's no one to unload you coz of the pingdemic you're not earning.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Did I hear this right, bozo and Dave Frost didn't understand the effects a border in the Irish Sea would have on trade between N Ireland and the rest of the Union, they can't honestly expect any one to believe this can they?

many people seem to believe their line that it's not the border in the Irish see, it's the way it's been implemented that is the issue.

I believe it was the Irish Times, was a tweet that disappeared before I could click on it and due to dodgy eyeballs couldn't find again scrolling through, was dated today though

Re: Britain outside the EU
I suspect that they knew what was going to happen. They inherited the Withdrawal Agreement from Theresa May, which included the NI Protocol. They thus expected the unrest and dissatisfaction that transpired and anticipated the need and opportunity to renegotiate the NI Protocol. All the foregoing, imo.
Question is, did they think the EU would budge on anything? The EU has suspended their legal action - that's easy and gives us nothing of substance. They'll then say/are saying that they (EU) have given ground now it's for the UK to do so.
In other words, the UK is in as big a pickle now as it was 7 months ago. Of course, I still deprecate the EU's intransigence and unwillingness not to implement the NI Protocol with greater sensibility for peace in NI.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Can you clarify 'they'?
Is it the EU, the Government, the Irish politicians (north and south), owners of import/export companies, supermarkets, fisherman, sausage makers etc . . or do you mean good old Joe (and Jean) public?
