    And the three main heads of any agreement with the EU will consist of citizens rights, the U.K. border on the island of Ireland, and the financial settlement. Whether this happens before October, or whether the U.K. leaves with no deal and then seeks a trade agreement afterwards, makes no difference. Those are the three things that need to be settled before any future relationship is discussed.

    Honestly, this has been told to Brexiters time and time again. Are your ears painted on?
    So, the money that the British tax payer loaned to the irish government has now been tied to the divorce bill?

    Talk about "what-a-boutery"!

      Great Scott man, I know it’s hot but are you on the sauce already?

      Of course it isn’t tied, my first post was in jest, before you went rambling off about how the Withdrawal agreement something something.

        Something tells me you're right.

        But then again, what do you expect from someone who thinks agreements are bad and should be avoided/broken and to hell with the consequences.

          Awww, something tells me you need a hug.

          But in the meantime, agreements are renegotiated all the time.

                    No one is going to enforce a hard border with Ireland. Don't pay this divorce bill.

                    If EU want a trade war, then we can hardly protect them in Nato. So pull out of that. Trump will love it.

                    Lets see how long the EU sticks together in a trade war, imagine having a country with an economy the twice the size of Russia and nuclear weapons as a neighbour and pissing them off.

                    It's going to be great. Like the old days.
                    The EU will enforce a hard border. Ireland can just join Schengen a much larger free movement area then the UK and Ireland
                    Nice neighbour you are woohoo, threatening the EU with nuclear obliteration (remember France has them as well and they don't need permission from the US to use them)
