A thank you to Brexiteers.

I guess we're lucky that even the Tories weren't sociopathic enough to use the threat of deporting millions of people as a starting point for negotiations

EU would have given us everything we wanted if we'd done that though - master stroke of negotiations that one.

 

[philosophical]

If the rest of the UK is expected to put it's interests after Northern Ireland's than that would ALSO be an example of the tail wagging the dog.

It's a metaphor used to describe a situation more than anything else.

Of course we should look after the interests of Northern Ireland, but in alignment of our own itnerests, not Ireland's.

Both the EU and Ireland can't keep throwing the "You guys decided to leave the EU, you sort it." line at us. The problem is really the EU itself, because it's a protectionalist trading block.

If the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland put the interests of Northern Ireland first where would you position the barbed wire, machine gun nests and watchtowers on the land border with the European Union?
Would your plan be in harmony with the international treaty that is the Belfast Agreement?

 

[bimble]

We could have gotten a free trade agreement out of them. I'm sure of that.

What does this even mean ? You haven’t got the foggiest idea have you.

That's the price of the EU Single Market. Take it up with the EU.

Sorry, are we talking about the same Rishi Sunak who's just going to align us up with the EU because he's not a Brexiteer?

What is this ‘align us up’ you tragic twithead.

The people of Northern Ireland want their assembly back. The DUP must not be allowed to block that | Simon Jenkins

A health and cost of living crisis is causing real problems that must be addressed. Democracy cannot be hamstrung any longer, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

www.theguardian.com

Essentially this opinion piece calls for facing down the DUP. I can't see how a period of direct rule will go down but the call to oppose unionism is clear.

hope you had a good sleep but you’re free to try again anytime you like to name one thing that you think ‘we’ could have got done better if it weren’t for treacherous remain MPs.
Maybe if our side had threatened to kneecap the EU negotiators we could’ve got all of the fish in the sea.

So in the short period StakerOne came on the thread they have been told they are hated and are philosophical 's enemy, got called a twathead and more. Keep it classy remainers eh?

judging by the reaction from Farage + Co, this new deal "aligns" the UK with EU customs - pegs the UK as would a customs union - and makes right-wing dreams of deregulation and divergence more unlikely, in that any major drop in standards would make the Windsor Agreement unworkable and force the issue again.

I was a remainer but for me, one of Brexit's greatest joys has been the human experiment and watching otherwise sane people turn into Father Ted!

You voted leave so you’re my enemy too, wouldn’t want you to feel left out if this kind of stuff is important to you.

Wasn't Father Ted one of the saner ones on an island full of nutters?

Sums it up. We all think we are father Ted, someone is Dougal though and as for Father Jack

I voted remain but probably consider you my enemy based on other things, so it's not the best way of judging alliances!

It's standard now. A few insults, someone demanding a benefit of brexit, a bit of shouting, bonus points if the editor shows up and bans the leave supporter off the thread for a week, double bonus points for cool meme use that clinch all arguments.

I like the demand from the remaniac "GIVE ME ONE BENEFIT OF BREXIT"

Leaver gives a benefit of Brexit

Remainiac: "THAT'S NOT A BENEFIT"

dreaming of the expulsion of ALL EU CITIZENS by this prick was more than insulting, its fascistic. I'll hold back my insults I'd like to make against this new poster so as not to offend you

Don't forget he's also been told that he is a proper leave voters as per the hallucination of remainers.

Unlike the millions of working class leave voters presumably.

You need to improve your English language skills. No one is dreaming of the expulsion of all EU citizens.

Please confirm you understand.

Nah StakerOne has claimed many times to be working class. Check the bitcoin thread (if you can face it). Sorry try again
