The EU doesn’t want a border. It wants NI to remain in the Customs Union. The UK is being bloody minded. Brexit caused the problem.

Oh really...? I have said often enough that the EU needs reform and that I am pleased that people like Macron are putting ideas on the table. Even if I don’t agree with everything. A major reform is necessary and this made be the upside of Brexit that things start moving forward. I think Brexit...

The EU was a great help to Ireland. Without the EU there would never have been the Celtic Tiger. Without us all being in the Eu protected by EU citizens rights and courts we would probably never had the GFA. The GFA has been put at risk by Brexit. People like the postal worker in Chatham that...

Says the man whose middle names include Bias and I Hate Juncker.

It’s dead easy really. The EU wants the immediate problems solved. The things that worry their constituents. This includes the UK confirming that it will honor it’s commitments before it leaves and saying what will happen to EU citizens and putting up a workable proposal for the border. Being...

May has been vague on the subject and you blame the EU who have been open.

Northern Ireland is a land border and there is no sea between them and the EU. The EU wants a sea border. That means no customs border with ROI. Can only be achieved if NI remains in the Customs Union.

The EU wants a sea border with the UK which would mean NI remains in the Customs Union. The UK doesn’t want that.

It is the UK that want to deny some of the rights of EU citizens. Or as May she would have to look at certain aspects. The EU want all rights recognised.

Labour is irrelevant to me at the moment. I am more interested in what’s going to happen to my rights.

If nearly everyone has a job, no one can claim EU citizens have stolen their jobs. I was in Bournemouth a couple of times recently and never saw a British person working in our hotel. How is our booming tourist industry ( weak pound ) going to cope with a Brexodus of EU staff after a cliff edge...

Quite frankly Brexit could be a good move for the EU. Things will now start rolling. The budget will be scrutinised for savings and reforms will be pushed forward. Not all bad news.

I assumed that you as a champion of democracy would at least know who your MEP was. Juncker is the head of the EU Commission - not the EU. We haven't left yet. If Ireland claims the tax from Apple as requested, who gets that? The Irish State or a third party?

I agree that we are looking at a transfer system for the foreseeable future. That is what Macron wants. It is the only way until at some far off time Greece can survive from it's own productivity. Low interest encourages purchases and should encourage investment, but with no domestic demand that...

I think she was ripping off her own party. They grassed her up. She denied everything under oath. She claims she forgot things and that it was a genuine mistake. Has a bad recollection of events - same as a judge once said about Joy. She is not yet covered by parliamentary immunity. The new...

It is hard, but it is years of neglect that put it in a bad position. Joining the Euro was a political move, not a well thought out economical move- a bit like Brexit. The positive aspect is that interest rates are low. If they were high they would have less chance of paying their loans back...

I think I have explained, and I think you also mentioned, that the CDU and SPD both lost over a million votes to AfD. Exit Polls suggest most new AfD voters voted as a protest vote - not to have a new Führer. The break up of AfD is already in motion and one of their ex leaders is on trial for...

What’s that got to do with your attitude? Captain Dart was sticking up for you and CvD said he had no problem with your attitude. Now you are on about bullshitting politicians. Whatever else I may think, I don’t think you need Captain Dart to stick up for you.......

UKIP had exactly the same % of votes as AfD. Farage is the figurehead of UKIP. 12,5% = 12,5%. The same.

Devaluation is not all benefits and whoopee we’re saved. It means that if your debt is in another currency you need more of your currency to repay them. Your imports of consumer goods cost more, so people’s spending power on these goods is reduced. Your raw materials for manufacturing become...
