So did mine. "Yer dad's gone bloody yampee " I'd completely forgotten about that. I bet that's almost completely died out now.

EU rules require a border but we won't be in the EU so from your simplified choices I'd say a hard border requires the EU to put one in place. That's fine. Let's get on with it. They can put it up. What's the problem? Why the delay ?

They are not negotiating as far as I can see. The shutters have been pulled down.

I thought the EU actually didn't want a hard border, because of the threat to the good Friday agreement. If there has to be a hard border, and it's apparent that both sides reluctantly agree that there is no alternative, then it puzzles me as to why they don't just get on with it and do the...

Whereas now they can drive unchecked from one side of Europe to the other.

This is precisely my point in reality. What are the EU actually going to do ? They have to enforce a border and to be honest without some kind of physical border they can't stop people moving across unchecked. I think that northern ireland is going to suffer with a physical border with the...

People moving is going to be a problem. Transport of goods/ freight shouldn't be. ANPR and tracking systems will cover most of that.

If there is a hard border are they going to stop and check every vehicle crossing it ?

Rees- Mogg ! Yeeeeessssss !

What a way to.go !

.....oh now come on.

No. It can all be done away from the border. Its being used as a political tool. Its utter nonsense.

My God. I bet there's tons of the stuff floating around the middle of the Pacific no more degraded than it was 50 years ago. Horrible.

Who's JRM ?

But who will actually implement a border ? Has anyone said they will do it and how they'll do it ? I've not heard anything addressing this basic question. Its all bullshit. There will be no hard border because no one dare build one.

What I don't genuinely understand is this : no one wants it. The Irish, the EU nor the UK. If there is to be a hard border which would involve physical checkpoints, who is going to actually build them ? I think the answer is ......no one.

During a pretty fruitless fishing session the other day me and my mate reminisced about the good old days and we decided that there was some absolute crap stuff back in the 60s and 70s. The main one was izal toilet paper. For those of you fortunate enough to miss it, it was like wiping your...

What's the one point of contention from the deal from a while ago ?

Absolutely spot on. They could have had that conversation off camera. Seemed like nothing but self indulgence and lack of professionalism.

Fair play to you for going, mate. Bloody crap when that happens. Bad enough when you're playing at home.
