Brexit.

[Rossfan]

The DUP are saying something....

Let's build a bridge to scotland for 15 billion quid! (No this is not made up)

Who's going to pay for it?
Scots won't anyway

Signal of utter desperation. See what way the wind is blowing demographics-wise and Brexit-wise, refuse to engage meaningfully with the indigenous Irish people of the occupied six, but propose this fantasy as if it's actually a possibility, to somehow keep link with their 'brethren' in lowland Scotland ... what a shower of deluded wankers

These pricks sold us down the river now they are trying the usual smoke and mirrors to distract it. They will get away with it as they normally do

Brexit is an unmitigated disaster accelerating down the tracks, it will lead to reinforcement of partition, job loses and economic chaos in the North. Anyone saying it will be a European border is talking bollocks as Britain is not going to allow immigrants to be bussed in from Dundalk. So one of two things will happen, a armed uk border patrols from Newry to Derry or border checks from all ports and airports taking passengers from the Island of Ireland. The more May relies on the DUP the more likely the first scenario. The more time passes the more convinced i am of the absolute stupidity of the leaders of Unionism and especially Arlene and Nigel.

No chance of an armed border....brits will not pay for it.

There have been zero deals. The Brexit heads including the DUP want to leave without any trading arrangements. The best May can say is that it wouldn't be the end of the world . The poor will of course be shafted. The UK imports half of its food. The Brexit crowd including the DUP do not care about their voters. May should call an election for the sake of the Tory party and pray that it gets hammered. Brexit is poison.

There has been deals. The brits have been going about sorting deals. Isn't may in S.Africa at the minute, deals are being done

So zero  was last week

Won't put much food on the table

Seafoid u know there is more than 6 dont be actin silly now.

[balladmaker]

Name the deals, what are they, who are they with?

[Rossfan]

Albania, Moldova, Rockall. .....

[seafoid]

Seafoid u know there is more than 6 dont be actin silly now.

Deals as a percentage of current trade - give us a guess.
This is about ensuring there is enough food next year. In Russian there is a saying that the situation is hopeless but not serious.

I thought these trade deals take a few years to flesh out, but May can do them on a state visit!

[seafoid]

Trade negotiation is like war. Everyone knows the UK is in an exceptionally weak position and will negotiate accordingly. Think the UDA looking for protection money.  India wants visa free travel for unlimited numbers of Indians. The US wants to flog genetically modified beef and chlorinated chicken. Brexit is complete nonsense.

Try that - very illuminating with regard to the real position vis a vis trade, WTO rules etc.

Britain is in a very, very bad position.
