Reply to: UK and EU fail to strike Brexit talks deal

[Paddy]

What had happened on this memorable Monday, which both sides, Britain and the EU, wanted to mark as a date of success in their calendars? Believing in British newspapers, the compromise between May and EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was almost agreed when Arlene Foster called from Belfast and forced May to leave her host behind for lunch. When she returned after half an hour, she literally took the deal off the table. Juncker was disappointed when he later went to the press and called his guest a "tough negotiator" with a mixture of resignation and subtle irony.

Foster is one of the very few who are allowed to disturb the Prime Minister at any time. Without the chairman of the DUP, which has ten members in the British House of Commons, May could not govern, at least not with a stable majority. When Foster formulates an objection, the question of power always resonates. And it was far more than an objection the Belfast woman had to file on Monday.

So if May never held a snap election she'd still have a majority. As such a minority DUP scuppered the grand plan. (don't ask no one really knows the plan).

Shurly her tenure cannot last until Christmas? Cameron divided the country and May seems intent on driving the economy into the ground.

The most awful government in these modern times.

I hope that this government lasts the full five years, providing strong and stable leadership to deliver a red white and blue Brexit.

I take my bannings like a man!

To be honest I deserved them all so I’m not complaining really, just martyring myself a bit...

Only do that in private. Whine, moan and bitch in public. It satisfies the mods.....

That's always been a banning offence. (Bypassing the filter I mean, not using Tapatalk, though I'm not convinced that Tapatalk let's you do it, since the filter is at server level). But at least it wasn't long. Unlike this twunt...

Dull sockie perma-banned. Shame really as the name was promising.

What's wrong with deserting a f**ked up country?

intentionally, really.
your constant smug, self satisfied snipes at a country you've deserted get wearing after a while.

Insulting really, being compared to a Nazi sympathiser when so many of my family on my mother's side fell in the battles that consumed them so that I could now live the life I do. But I guess it provides you with a cheap laugh rather than a sensible retort we could only hope for.

So brexit fails over religion.

I'm getting the word... "pissed up postings"

Nowt wrong with that, all of my bannings came from that, except the last one cos I don't drink now. That was NAT banning me for something so trivial - bypassing the swear filter I think that wan't even my fault since Tapatalk lets you do it.

Scotspine banned me first.

Cojak banned me for a Jimmy Savile joke I made that was a bit risqué but was missed, we met on a Leeds piss up and I mentioned it, then she banned me next day. Say no to retro-bans....

I might have embellished the last bit a bit, but it makes a better story. The truth is rubbish.
