Oh dear looks like the wheels are starting to fall off

the country's economic growth has been dragged down by a generalised slowdown around the continent.

Don't be silly, must be fake news . . I was only reading on here just the other day about some marvelous trade deals the EU had pulled off.

Bit silly if you have no money to spend

Clearest solution is to withdraw A50. Have an Irish unification referendum, then re-run the EU referendum on that basis.

Nope that is an absolutely appalling solution - we have already had a referendum on leaving the EU. We do not need another, as I keep saying. It would be an affront to Democracy to keep re-running the same vote again and again because people's selected choice does not go their way. We also do not want to see the reunification of Northern Ireland with Ireland, we would see troubles similar to IRA, all over the place that were common in the 80's and 90's, I cannot believe you were seriously advocating such a disgraceful solution.

It was not that long ago that the corrupted bullies in the EU were trying to enforce Italy to change it's 2019 Budget, yes the corrupted and cancerous Union dictating to it's member State what to do with it's own money and people here, want us to stay with these disgusting and corrupted power hungry fools in the EU.

Far fetched today I see - that said - I really don't want to see things like this said or any mention of guns. I find it very objectionable.

OK. You go first and we'll see how it pans out.

Ok polite Reminder:

Can we please not talk about guns harming people or themselves - even if the chatter is meant to be a joke. I find it totally distasteful and I have given prior instructions to not suggest people shoot people or indeed themselves, even if it is said in jest.

The Good Friday Agreement does have a possible future referendum at some point though but it shouldn't be as part of this process certainly. I believe if it ever becomes clear a majority would support reunification the government should call the referendum.

One hopes that the bar has enough alcohol stock to cover the period, it would be awful for them if they couldn't have their drink while at work
