Nobody who voted leave, or remain for that matter, went through these issues before placing a cross on a ballot paper. They voted blind and mostly with very little thought to the big immediate problems, let alone the "surprises" which keep cropping up. Did the Chatham postal worker consider...

Again TripAdvisor: Switzerland is a member of the Schengen Area (an area consisting of most countries on the European continent, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. It does not include the UK or Ireland) and no passport checks are done on people crossing borders within the Schengen area.

Oh yes. I'll eat my hat.

They said the would be in favour of a sea border with the UK. So they would have customs control at their ports - also in NI ports.

as is obvious if you look at the date above.

Do you think Britain's disorganised and somewhat chaotic approach thus far will provide for a sensible Brexit?

exactly. well said.

PUBLISHED: 15:45 14 June 2017 | UPDATED: 15:45 14 June 2017 Since then the rest of Europe has seen the fiasco of Brexit and opinions have changed. Your article was pre Brexit.

Why don't you comment on my post explaining that you didn't get controlled because you were already in the Schengen area? You duck anything and everything to deflect....... as for contempt, I said I would like to see the GFA continued, you ducked that as well. Why?

Yes and before that it was having to continually devalue the Lira. It is more than a currency problem.

No, of course you won’t be stopped. You were controlled when you crossed the border of the Schengen area. That is why you could enjoy the freedom of not having to show your passport. Britain and Ireland are not in Schengen. The UK wants a harder border to control EU immigration. That is why many...

I agree that it is a protest vote and that the governments have to recognize the causes of it and that they try and resolve the problems.

I would love it the island of Ireland was in the customs union and NI was still being administered by Britain under the terms of the GFA.

Why should they be dictated to by a country that is leaving, doesn’t know where it is heading to, has no unified stance on negotiations and has signed the GFA which expects a soft border, but will not accept a reasonable suggestion to solve the problem?

The suggestion did come from the EU and your survey didn’t poll whether people would want a referendum on staying in Britain and in the customs union. Seeing as that is seen favorably by both the EU and the ROI there should be some sort of NI ROI debate/ consultation on this. Maybe this is in...

The far better form of democracy is a sovereign parliament which served us for centuries. As you say. But, why allow an advisory referendum to supercede it? The ‚wrong ones‘ from the point of view of the virtual duopoly which rules the UK. The EU suggested NI remains in the Customs Union and...

I doubt that you have seen the real EU. I doubt that you have seen the infrastructure projects in the East and the aims for equality and cohesion. All you care about is exerts from Juncker‘s speeches ( missing out ‚I don’t hate Britain’ of course ) and the growth - or presumed growth - of right...

I think I have already explained that I usually only read the links to the Mail on here. Maybe it is a bulwark of reasoned arguments ( and I know they do have some decent reporting as well as what gets highlighted on here ), but reasoned articles don’t get linked on here, so no I won’t be naming...

So, you agree with me then? Brits rejected proportional representation because it too democratic, or judging by some posters on here, they don’t understand how it works. They could make the Lords into an elected senate of nominated experienced/ well qualified people, but that would be too...
