Brexit.

Just shows you that any **** who says "the people know exactly what they voted for" is exactly that... a lying ****!!

It is f***ing ridiculous voting out without knowing what would replace it.
In GAA terms it would be like closing your stadium without having the replacement design approved.

Same result awaits a barren wasteland

Lol. Great analogy.

That 16 year old on qt nailed it. It's not about the will of the people etc. It's personal gains stuff here with the Torres showing themselves up for what they are. I suspect mogg etc will make plenty when brexit happens unlike the people they supposedly represent. I don't understand how people vote for people like him.

He's already transferred his hedge funds to Dublin which shows how much faith he has in the British economy.

It's the people on the periphery/border areas who always get hit hardest - the likes of Rees Mogg and Johnson etc in London are living in a bubble.

Super article with lessons for Ireland


"Westminster had underestimated the EU's determination to ensure the Brexit talks remained a bureaucratic process — and not be sucked into political horse-trading with the U.K. "It misread the legal nature of the EU," one senior French official said. "This is what makes it strong."

"The EU, while strategically myopic, is formidably good at process against negotiating opponents," said Rogers.

That is what happened in 2010. Labour's way or Frankfurt's way. 

Don't get into negotiations with the EU . Recapitalise the banks before the crash

The Irish Border was barely mentioned in the 2016 campaign.

For that poor lad, clearly a case of Brexit gone from bad to verse.

Brilliant

The DUP are finding themselves in an ever trickier spot. If the deal goes through NI would be treated differently from the UK, and it is now apparent this would also be the case in the event of No Deal. Surely the only way the DUP can escape from this is for Brexit not to happen, which is ironic given their support for it.

"Senior hurling" is, I think, how that is described on this board.

[balladmaker]

I don't think there is any chance of May's deal going through on Friday, not going by the mutterings from MP's on TV tonight anyway.  It's looking like a long extension, and ultimately the complete unravelling of Brexit .... which will suit the DUP well.  They can then return to their bigoted ways this side of the Irish Sea, where unfortunately their grass roots support will continue to back them to keep Sinn Fein out ... the whole thing is pathetic.

How ironic, thst referendum was about taking control of their boadahs, yet the only land border was totally overlooked.

Not surprising though
