    The EU didn’t vote to leave the UK.
    The EU didn’t vote to get rid of “freedom of movement of people, goods, service, etc across the Irish Border”

    52% of those who voted in the UK did so. Now you are resorting to type - blaming the EU for the outcome of your decision.

      Clearly more of an idea than you did otherwise you would have voted for change. If we had wanted to be ruled by a foreign power we had plenty of opportunity in our recent past to achieve this. The only saving grace is that May will never get her current offering agreed by either parliament or the EU.

      No deal Brexit here we come.

        Sorry Yorkie but you're still not catching up with what is going on.

        Look at WWI and WWII. Those great battles, turning points. Look closely - it wasn't just the plucky Brits. We also had the Empire. We wouldn't have won if weren't for the heroic fighting (and thinking) of the Canadians, the Australians, the New Zealanders, the Indians etc etc.

        The EU don't need to give in - the proposition is BRINO. Full strength. May knows what take-it-or-leave-it means. And she's known for a while.

        Parliament? The forces against freedom are building but look who's just now coming round the corner.

        Yes! The Labour Party.

        Prod your Sinclair calculator all you like but you aren't going to get enough votes to stop BRINO. And if it ever went to a referendum or election exactly the same thing would happen.

        You're finished. The dream is over.

          Macron did confuse Patriotism with Vichyism though!

          Lets see what happens when Vlad walks through Europe and the Donald sits there and laughs.

          Coming to a corrupt organisation very near to you.

            Is that your answer to the Irish problem?

            People who voted for Brexit voted for an Irish Border.
            Yet people who voted for Brexit are not interested in discussing it, coming up with suggestions, or considering the implications.

            As ever, deflect, avoid, blame and refuse to discuss the point.

              You really are a hard-wired one-dimensional dimwit.

                Quite so. You never voted for a border between Eire and NI (ie the UK and the EU). It's quite ridiculous to accuse you of having the faintest idea of what you were voting for when you went down to the polling station.

                  It's funny how the Irish border now seems to be the most interesting thing about Brexit....

                  I mean what should we do?

                  Maybe lets do the same as the all those European countries with huge land borders do - fook all.

                    Has nobody read my earlier p[ost.

                    The UKs hands are pretty much tied on the Irish Border Issue. the Good Friday agreement, which is an international treaty, restricts the UK to maintaining an open border with Southern Ireland. If the EU was anything else than an open border they should impose it.

                      It’s funny how people have talked about it on here for ages, but those who voted to Leave said it isn’t an issue, it’s not a problem, ignore it and it will go away, etc.

                      How many of those countries have you been to in the last 10 years?

                      Or are you saying that you voted for Brexit, but you want to keep the freedom of movement of people?
