    ^How Mr. P. fits in this situation? As we read few posts above, the Brexit was his dealing, wasn't it?

    One thing that I really dislike is German protectionism when it comes to trade. There are too many examples to list from consumer goods to government contracts and it affects everyone, small to large scale. The UK have battled away at free trade within the EU and made many improvements but Brexit will see it all slip away into a brief historical might-have-been.

    If Brexit had been about the principle of free trade and how other EU nations have undermined that fundamental British belief since the mid 19th Century I might have gone along with it...

    ...but it wasn't...

    ...it was based on a bunch of lies fed to the public as facts that have sinced been disproved.

    Hete's hoping that Greece, Turkey, or Romania rise from the ashes and control the current masters who have dominated and failed for too long.

    Can't happen and won't, May made that clear, which leaves me wondering which way to vote next time. But she has until we leave to change her mind, and anytime after that either she or a future PM could decide to strengthen the democratic process with another referendum.

    UK will have a border with the EU in Ireland

    If you wish to control 3rd country people you need checks
    If you wish to prevent smuggling you need checks
    If Paramilitaries see checks smuggling will generate their income raison d'etre

    I have listened to Leo Varadka and Teresa May and Jacob Rees-Mogg and Michel Barnier none of whom seem to have a solution ready in 6 months that will satisfy all.

    she is as deviant as any mighty Brit official, she will call a referendum when no one is looking, after she realized her complete failure in getting a viable agreement for all concerned parties

    The Irish want the best of both worlds.

    I would suggest someone remind them who bailed the fuckers out after the 2008 crash, ungrateful pikey c u n t s.

    Few weeks ago in a discussion with Farage, Juncker stated that the EU must have a hard border, and "if" needed "we" will install one. Then he gave a lecture about the importance of "rules," and when Farage asked him about the number of times they have broken their own "rules" with impunity, he replied to the effect that 'some' rules are ok to breach.

    Can't wait to get out, or for a second referendum.

    There's already quite significant smuggling going on between North and South, particularly with alcohol. The North was already cheaper prior to the referendum, and with the subsequent fall of the pound against the Euro, alcohol is significantly cheaper.

    You should rephrase that Stroller, or the Belgians will want out too.

    Yep, bring it on. I've said from the start of negotiations that it'd be a hard Brexit. The last 2 years has been a charade.

    Indeed, just get on with it.
    Politicians milking it as usual.
    At least when we are eventually out, we'll have less parasites to finance

    Doesn't help if you have a PM that insists on doing it the "British" way, by taking a knife to a gunfight.

    Anyway, the Belgian will be along shortly to calmly and cogently explain why as of yesterday the unelected democratic EU dictators joined in chorus yet again for May to hold a second referendum...which obviously shows they can't wait to be rid of us.

    It's all bluff. They know there'll be no second referendum and they know that us leaving will be the start of the exodus. If Brexit works, which I believe it will, then goodbye the EU.

    Macron is going further and calling for others to leave if they don't like EU terms

    about fooking time someone says it as it is,

    we need to reduce that number of 27 to a more reasonable one, like 20 or even 17

    need to remove 7 more liabilities like the UK,

    It seems the EU tyrants still haven't figured that Brexit occurred in the first place precisely through the notion that we can do as we please and fcuk off if you don't like it.

    All they had to do was give Cameron a few cosmetic concessions to be snatched back later on in their traditional underhand fashion, and there never would have been a referendum.

    Poor things, will never learn, doomed...!
