Blow me for €4 billion

Neither do I, but at least it's a start of something vaguely sensible-ish.

Not all doom & gloom like some would wail though

It's never going to fly, so it is not vaguely sensible-ish.

You're a bit thick,no? Try reading your own fucking links

"The resolution, set to be voted on hours before Theresa May’s make-or-break Tory conference speech, rubbishes Britain’s existing proposals on the issue and is set to enrage DUP MPs propping up Ms May’s Government."

Come on, do you believe that I believe it was 'agreed' by all parties when I posted that link, or just that the EU has at least taken a positive position on the issue rather than what I stated in response to WTFH earlier in the thread?

Use your brain and truly read

It's better than just saying 'No that won't work' without providing alternatives, which was their previous current position. That was why I described it as I did. How would you describe the EU proposal?

Politically it is unacceptable to the Unionist political establishment in NI, who have their hands round the throat of the May government.

Economically, it solves the cross (RoI / NI) border trade problem, but creates a new problem, due to the substantial trade between NI and GB.

I'm not your mate, I doubt you have many, given what and how you type on this forum.

Not my fault you haven't developed the ability to link other posts in the same forum and apply context.

Although I'm sure the other regulars here are loving the delicious irony of you calling anyone else a cretin/retard

So the EU have proposed an unacceptable suggestion?

Why I wonder?

Preserved for posterity.

Loving the delicious irony.

As an aside, there was a thing on Radio Four very recently about the Sweden/Norway customs border. Checks for freight are done in eight minutes. Supposedly the most efficient in the World.

It was also a video on the BBC news site, with the Norway border agent saying they thought the UK could get the same thing up and running in 18 months at a stretch, but needed all parties to cooperate in order for that to happen....
