Be great craic if all those British migrants in EU Countries were sent home on 1st November and told to apply to the relevant Embassies in London for permission to return ;D

Be hilarious causing heartache and misery for and estimated 1.3 million people,  but as long as you get a smile out of it.

Bozo quoted as saying he showed the EU his proposals but didn't  let them have a copy as they'd only give them to the 27 Governments.

So this Brexit will not only annoy Taigs, it is going to hurt my pocket. I've changed my mind about it, so.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Arlene on the unique history and geography of our island.
Obviously Bozo is going for a 6 Cos "special arrangement".

I have every sympathy for small family farms and the damage that the train wreck that is Brexit will have on them. But I have zero sympathy for the likes of Charlie boy here. He voted for it so he can suck it up. What did he seriously expect?

He appeared in a DUP election broadcast according to Twitter.

I know Charlie. Milks just outside Warringstown. Not a bad fellow. At the time of the Vote many farmers were fed up with red tape and poor prices. They needed a bogeyman, someone or something to blame and the DUP provided that in form of the EU.
Like I have said before. The overwhelming majority of Diary farmers in NI voted leave. They will have to own it. But media are reluctant to report that.

From the article

   According to Lord Ashcroft's poll, only 21 per cent of unionists were prepared to accept a Northern Ireland-only backstop, with 77 per cent saying they would rather have a no-deal Brexit.


This is totally at odds with any conversations I would have had recently, particularly with business contacts. I can only assume its grass roots, staunch DUP supporters opinions which just depresses me even more as despite everything the DUP have done over the past few years it looks like nothing has changed with their supporters.

He expected to be selling his milk into these new markets like China, India and the Middle East with the price per litre rocketing up like the DUP/UFU told him.

News to me.

Quote"No compelling argument" has been made that Northern Ireland's agriculture industry would be better off if the UK left the European Union, the Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) has said.

Farmers in Northern Ireland receive more than £230m a year in subsidies from the EU, which the UFU says is "vital" for farm incomes.

A referendum on whether the UK should stay in the EU will be held on 23 June.

Well a local farmer told me he went along to a UFU organised event pre referendum and the main speaker was a Mr Poots from Lisburn, a farmer allegedly in his spare time and he espoused the benefits of leaving the EU as an opportunity for NI farmers to have unfettered access into new markets in India and China where they'd get double the current price for milk and £5 a kilo for beef and so forth.

They've obviously changed their stance since it'd become apparent that Boris and the ERG want no deal and not this easy deal that Liam Fox was talking about back then.

Rossfan

Unionists voted for the fantasy of re establishing a proper border, blue passports, integration with GB, the return of the 1950s and all the other ráiméis spouted by the Farages and Johnsons.
They're now meeting the real world ( except for the Portadown ones who are still waiting to hold the 1998 parade down Garvaghy Road) and are obviously letting DUPUDA know they want special arrangements.

The UFU supported Remain. That's the anomaly people can't understand. Dairy farmers overwhelming voted Leave despite what the UFU and others said.
