Boris gets the check book out.

Your story appears in the Express and the S*n. Even the Wail isn’t running it.

Seen it in at least two other media publications today.

Ah, so the Mail, the Express and the Sun. All paragons of truth and journalistic integrity and Leaver newspapers to boot...

I've always been puzzled by this question. Why couldn't Eire and the UK return broadly to the arrangements that existed prior to both countries joining the EU? Could it be that the EU didn't want such close links between the parties? The Irish have more in common with the UK than they have with the EU. Eire was once part of the UK and their citizens enjoyed a "special" relationship with the UK well before the EU was formed.

Why do you call Ireland Eire? Do you call Scotland Alba or Wales Cymru?

Yes odd that non of the Remainer newspapers want to run the story. Maybe that's because it shoots all the Remainer arguments in the foot so to speak regarding how it is impossible to find a solution to the Irish border. Just maybe the Remainer newspapers don't want to report the truth, doesn't say much for REmainer newspaper reporting integrity that you hold so dear.

Or Spain 'Espana'.

Why do you call Ireland Eire? Do you call Scotland Alba or Wales Cymru?

"Why do you call Ireland Eire?"

because Ireland refers to the whole island, whilst Eire refers to the Republic of Ireland and Ulster refers to Northern Ireland.

Do you call Scotland Alba, no yr Alban, when appropriate.

"or Wales Cymru?"

when the occasion requires it, as in "Cymru am byth"

there is no need to differentiate yr Alban from Scotland nor Cymru from Wales. But it is necessary to differentiate Ireland from Eire and Ulster.

The document urges EU countries to review progress on new border inspection posts to 'ensure that they are fully functional from the outset' in case of a No Deal.

It then adds: 'The Commission maintains regular contacts with the most concerned member states so that a land bridge route between Ireland and the rest of the EU via the UK can be implemented swiftly in the event of No Deal, including support from the necessary IT systems.'

Do you realise that this is about goods transiting the UK between Ireland and other EU countries? How do you think this is going to facilitate trade in goods, livestock and the milk supply chain between the UK and the RoI?

Or Spain 'Espana'.

Iberia, when referring to Portugal and Spain.
