The WA was designed in a way that was compatible with the Uk 'red lines' while respecting the Good Friday Agreement and the EU's own laws/rules governing trade which are there for everyone to look up. 2. They didn't impose a "bad deal" on us...The WA is the result of everything discussed in point 1. It's a negotiation. If you have a problem with it, then you should be apportioning at least 50% of the blame of it to the UK side. 3. You state that the EU has a secret agenda to keep us in the EU by making this deal as bad as possible. Notwithstanding option 1 and 2, if the politicians had voted that agreement through we would have left. It's not their fault that the result of 2 years negotiation was rejected by your elected representatives. The vast vast majority of the "Remain supporting" MP's voted for it. The "Leave supporting" ones didn't...it's their fault we aren't out. 4. There's no such thing as a "good deal". It's all bad. Every major forecast tells us we'll be worse off, if we aren't already as a result of this **** mess. I can't believe people are still buying the crap. I have no Brexit position at all, I have lived in holland for 20 + years and was just contributing (Hopefully) to the thread etc. I just put a few thoughts out there and I have no axe to grind here adn I just wanted to know what people thought. If I have inflamed a nerve I apologize ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes but that would be their hypocrissy, something I try to avaoid Having said that, I object to GSTQ because of the words, what they were doing was turning their back on a poem by Friedrich Schiller from 1780 something set to music by Ludvig van Beethoven as far back as 1820 something. Hardly the same thing espically as the poem is an ode To Joy. Fun Killers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Quote A former Northern Ireland Minister told LBC why Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt's promise of using "technology" to sort out the Irish border simply won't work. Lord Hain explained why simply using number plate trackers will not protect the UK's border in Northern Ireland. LBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
