Well done Boris and Team UK

[Paddy]

Time for the UK and EU to move forward with a great future for both, especially the UK. Well done Boris and team for doing what the naysayers said was impossible

No doubt the trolls on this forum will continue with their put downs and invective but the British people have got what the majority of them want and that is to live in a vibrant and independent forward looking state competing on its own terms worldwide

So which bit of the deal is better than EU membership and which bit gives £350m per week to the NHS?

Happy Christmas all.

It's not about the past but the future with the UK back in its rightful place as a player on the world stage unencumbered by EU bureaucracy and federalism

In many ways, it’s a great deal. NI being betrayed by the UK moves us closer to a united Ireland.

Are you sure Ireland wants and can afford the costs of being united? As Germany found out getting back together can be an expensive business and just to keep things as they has a £10 billion a year bill attached to it that the UK tax payer is currently funding. Then you have the sectarianism which would flower again because you don't think those nice protestants in the North would welcome a Catholic Ireland do you? Of all the catholic taxi drivers I've ever talked to in Belfast none want a united Ireland because they know how good they've got it at the moment and the pain that would come from a forced marriage

The British Empire has gone, you will not get it back.

Lots of barriers still of course, but the Tory betrayal of NI moves us closer to a united Ireland. As a side note, Ireland is less and less a Catholic’s country. Ireland has resoundingly voted in referenda to amend the constitution liberally in equal marriage, divorce and abortion.
