1) India has stated very publicly that any trade deal with the UK post brexit will have to involve a renogatiation to ease the restraints currently imposed on India because we are a member of the EU with regards to movement of people between India and the UK. Agreeing that both parties will like...

I never said that you did vote leave. It was an observation made on what you’ve been saying about the EU not wanting to negotiate on a soft border between the UK and Ireland at the Northern Irish/Irish border. The majority of out voters don’t want any soft border full stop so the EU are doing...

The point is we are probably going to have to relax those controls over non EU residents so those numbers are likely to increase and replace maybe even pass the number of EU immigrants. Boris was the one scaremongering saying that a country that has no intention of joining the EU (ie Turkey) had...

I made the point that you think the EU should negotiate a soft border whereas the majority who voted out are expecting a hard border. If we end up with a hard border like the majority who voted out want you’re not happy and blaming the EU for it despite it being what the majority wanted. If we...

Eh?

I’m from a Northern Irish border county and indeed border town family. What would you like to know? We’re even Protestants so I can even put a pro UK stance on it if you want.

The EU already has a lot of Tariff free GSP scheme deals in place around the world. India being one of them. We now hear from India that relaxing control of the movement of people between India and the UK needs to be better than it currently is as an EU member state, because the EU has tight...

You tell me? You seem to be complaining that the EU won’t negotiate a soft border and the majority of brexit errs want a hard border. Damed if they do, damed if they don’t.

For it to be good these trade deals need to be better than the ones the EU already have in place otherwise it’s a complete waste of time. That seems unlikely to me. Other than cheaper citrus fruit coming into the UK and twice as many pigs ears going out I’m still waiting for someone to tell me...

Been there done that. My eldest won’t even entertain the idea and the youngest has tried it twice and wanted to leave at half time both times. I’ll keep asking her though. I do have two nephews who are happy to come from time to time so I bring them when I can.

Brexit was always likely to create a hard border. Why else do you think Northern Ireland voted remain? Many people who voted out are furious at the prospect of their being a soft border located in the UK. Out means out all that. It sounds like you’re saying that there isn’t a scenario where the...

Horrible condition. Wish him all the best and hope he can keep on top of it.

I know you are. That’s why I sit in block 17;)

Which is an odd one as she’s publicly stated that she’ll guarantee the rights of all UK citizens currently living in the UK. Does this mean that they’ve not committed anything concrete to the EU during negotiations to back this up and we’re trying to bullshit our way out of the EU?

I’m the sort of cretin who sings every word of every song, applauds and cheers everything, never boo’s, never goes down early for halftime, never leaves early and isn’t precious about what competition we’re playing at. I get to as many games as I can and if the atmosphere is flat this cretin...

Football fans gambling? Never.

Think you’re right. Either way it was a good atmosphere.

Don’t understand how anyone can say there’s never a good atmosphere at the Ricoh. Maybe it has something to do with where you sit. Even during last seasons direness I can still pick a couple of games where the atmosphere was excellent even with limited numbers. The semi final was excellent, lost...

They’ll get a vote on it. If it ever gets that far. It will also have to be a bigger majority in favour than the majority that voted brexit through. IIRC it’s something like 55% of member states must vote for it and of those 55% they must represent at least 65% of all the EU member states...

Junker can say it all he likes. The army will never get voted in. To many countries within the EU have already dismissed it. They’ll never be a United States of Europe. Too many countries within the EU don’t want it and would rather leave the EU than join a United States.
