As much as it may not feel like it I think the path to remain is still very difficult and unlikely. The path of least resistance has always felt like a compromise deal to me although I’m not sure what or how and the longer things go on the more difficult that seems. Sent from my iPhone...

I’d imagine in reality they’d be some shared use of resources and infrastructure but imagine what the negotiations for that would be like! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really? WTO requires a border as well. Plus we’ll still need a trade deal of some kind with the E.U. You can’t just have an open border else you’re open to all sorts of illegal activity and you spread that to anyone else you have any kind of free movement of goods with. Sent from my iPhone...

The problem is people are so used to the single market they now can’t imagine an actual border. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love how this is Nicks first post in this thread for an age. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d imagine 2 years would go down badly over here but it might be the most realistic option. Maybe even make it a deadline to focus minds and have a roadmap to a decision up front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FFS really? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did nearly add a “I’m not talking about the Brexiters here ;)” to that but then restrained myself out of politeness Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Regarding the troubles it’s a tough call. I’d say there’s certainly less appetite for it but then it only takes a minority to kick it off. Also, don’t underestimate the organised crime aspect who sow chaos for their own ends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Remember the E.U. have to be careful not to upset U.K. voters and be seen as reasonable so they won’t ask for anything crazy. They might say if an extension is to be above a certain length then it needs to be for an election or referendum (think they have said words to that effect before). That...

Well the tricks that have been referred to by Cummings are supposedly to get us out with no deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do I need to add a sarcasm warning to this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah hopefully we crash out with no deal and fuck the economy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great summary. It’s interesting that it seems to have accelerated the culture war in America coming here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Didn’t Johnson say “it’s this deal or no deal”? Plus we’re now weeks away from Oct 31. We’ve been trying to negotiate for 3 years. For all the will in the world there isn’t time to pivot and implement a much more elaborate solution. Maybe it’s possible but it’s seems unlikely. Sent from my...

The truth is there’s one group who are trying to pretend to negotiate for political purposes and another group who are split between leaving with a deal or revoking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This and the fact they did negotiate for two years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only way to avoid a border is to keep NI in the CU. If there’s a time limit it’s not a backstop because once it ends there’s nothing in place. If they think they can pull off this new deal of elaborate customs checks at various points using technology then go with the backstop and once we...

The backstop was the flexibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s not a realistic proposal they can agree to. Don’t fall into the governments trap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
