Total fantasy.If a border on island of Ireland is a trade barrier so is one in the Irish Sea.
Are you deliberately refusing to understand???

Back in 1998 Liz O'Donnell,  Junior Minister, Dublin 4 type PD, was involved in the talks then. Beforehand she was all blather about being nice to Unionists etc.
She changed her tune after a few dealings with them (and that was the UUP).
Good to see Leo learning a bit about the North Eastern parts of his own Country though.

He knows how to deal with intolerant feckers. An openly gay Irish nationalist Taoiseach out-manueuring them and tying the north to the south irreversibly is the stuff of nightmares for the DUP.

The post gym photo in the salmon Under Armour Vest would have absolutely horrified Arlene and Nigel.

Jeffrey's wee heart may have skipped a beat though!!

DUP's Paisley is now quoting the 4% GDP hit to the RoI economy as detailed in its own impact assessments of No Deal...
Note: there are no UK equivalents from which to quote


If 4%:roi could be 8% NI.  Paisley Óg is a moron

I don't know what news story you've been following to hold such an out there opinion but forcing the entire UK to stay in the the single market by holding firm on the border issue would be a far better outcome for Ireland than what was on offer on Monday.

This is a win-win scenario for Ireland and the government has played their hand very well so far.

Forcing the UK? Are you in this new Communications Unit?
They weren't even at the negotiations. They didn't force anything.
The UK and the EU fooled us into thinking the border was a major issue and used that to pacify both side of Brexit within the UK.

May pushed the DUP forward while at the same time Junker pushed Varadkar forward.
Both were played, though it remains to be seen how much either knew about it. Seems the DUP were well prepared for the leak while Varadkar wasn't.

Two sides set up against the red herring border issue.
One will be happy they can climb down and save face on their hard Brexit approach and the other powerless as just realizing it now.

I think you are giving the British way too much credit. Their approach has been more Basil Fawlty than anything. No doubt Ireland are in the waters with sharks, between the EU and the UK. If it wasn't all so serious, there's a certain amusement in the DUP making Ireland out to be the most vicious shark of the lot.

I LOL'd at that. Good job Paul Berry is long gone from the DUP.

May's government collapsing would probably be the best result for all. Corbyn wouldn't have this hand-wringing about a soft Brexit and the DUP would have to take their medicine. Indeed stopping the whole exit totally would be on the table then. I doubt the EU would really be all that bothered at this stage as it must feel like negotiating with a dementia patient.

It's hard to see this Tory government surviving the entire Brexit process anyways when even a simple border deal is eluding them.

I have first hand experience of DUP's economic studies and unless there has been a significant change in the last couple of years, there is zero interest in economic facts or trends. They start with a politically charged answer and try and find some theory or data that could possibly be construed as supportive. They then stretch the truth, make completely unethical and illogical connections to support the pre-ordained conclusion.

They can be (and have been!) completely debunked by a bunch of QUB economics undergrads.

DUP studies, contradiction in terms, unless the word Bible is in there, and to be honest- even then...



Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

"Fudge is good only if it tastes sweet. Theresa May's deal with the EU on Irish border trade is apparently too bitter for Ulster's Democratic Unionist party to stomach. Yesterday they wielded a veto. A British government at an international summit was humiliated by a minority partypursuing a minority point of view. It is why governments should never rely on extremist parties. The DUP has three days to make amends, or a terrible vengeance should be taken on them.



It does not matter that the DUP is hypocritical. Decades of Westminster indulging its political primitivism have come home to roost. Unionists have demanded separatism on education, trade, corporate taxes, abortion, homosexuality and a host of pet issues, yet they want to call themselves "British". They are Irish."

Jaysus when you see the head of a buck like that calling the DUP Irish, you know the Brits are getting mad.
