    To get rid of Northern Ireland to the Republic, I'd seriously consider chucking in Scotland free of charge. The Irish used to own half of Scotland anyway...

    Win-win.

    Funny, that the "saboteurs and traitors" got it right (again) and it is only due to their actions that the Brexiter MPs have a right to vote down the proposed WA.
    Damn those "saboteurs and traitors" for being right all the time. Anyone would think they know what they're talking about

It may be back to the old days for coach operators and long waits going through customs.

    There are 750-ish EU agreements that we are party to as a member state that we will lose, that cover not only cover trade, but also regulatory cooperation, transport, etc.

    Those that are advocating for “No Deal” and that we should fall back to “WTO rules” usually fail to mention that we already trade under WTO rules PLUS all of these aligning agreements.

    If s/he means the Withdrawal Agreement, then no, there is nothing in that. However, the WA includes the transition period within which we are effectively still subject to all existing treaties and agreements.

    Of s/he means the future trade arrangement, there are no specifics in that, it’s just a fudge to get us through into the transition period.

    Brexiters don't care ...... they can't afford to travel abroad by car (only cheap flights to Spain). They follow the politics of envy and will just say that everyone will need to just adapt. This is why current and future generations will never forgive their selfishness. It is also why within 10 years, once the current Brexiters die off, the current youth will reverse the referendum.
