chrisp65 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Labour called a meeting of all the opposition leaders a couple of days ago. According to Plaid Cymru, he 'did a May', wouldn't entertain talking through options, just wanted all opposition parties to fall in line and back his version of Brexit. This. Is. Awful.

brommy Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 With the EU and UK government both insisting they won’t build a border for customs checks between NI & I, is there any risk of a border appearing? I’m assuming neither the EU or UK will want to pay for, or be seen constructing, a physical border, so who and by what method would the trade be checked?

There will be a threshold of tax revenue and basic taking of the piss that they are happy to not notice. Once van drivers start setting up booze markets on the one side and ciggie markets on the other, the border will reappear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The massive hypocrite numpty, "consensus politics, sometimes talking to people you don't agree with.." and all that pure lies for an excuse. He's unbelievably bad. p.s. May is as useless too. Your evident loathing of Corbyn is obscuring your vision. The meeting was going nowhere, as those attending have said. Having Chucky there was wrong on terms of procedure - they are not a party, just a caucus, so why not have eg the ERG, who are obviously much more important in tems of numbers, but invite Caroline Lucas, who commands only one vote? It's either a meeting of party leaders, or it's not. The reason for inviting him was probably to engineer a problem (politicians do this kind of thing). If there is a meeting in the near future which discusses real options and where it is necessary to construct a majority against May, I think you will find neither Corbyn nor anyone else will refuse to speak to Chucky and his pals. That's just politics, not the kind of silly buggers this meeting appears to have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite. Ireland, as part of the EU, will enforce a border if the UK/NI departs from EU customs rules. That's accepted as a reality, we don't care about the cost it's not that expensive in the grand scheme of things to hire a few hundred customs agents. The thing is we will not agree to a preferential deal (i.e. non-WTO) with you that will require a border. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we have an offer on here recently from @chrisp65 or someone to be a benevolent dictator? Sounds reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
