    So leaving the EU won't end up in a bonfire of red tape and regulations.

    That's good to know.

    Yes. I said Ireland was being shafted. And after all that they did to try and cripple Brexit, that's how they are rewarded. I hope we can continue to buy from the Irish, they shouldn't have to suffer because their PM is a monumental bellend.

    Boris is going to faff around, then on 31 OCtober put a "closed for cleaning" sign outside Parliament so nobody can get in to vote anything

    How much rainforest is cut down in Argentina to produce beef?

    As for what their food standards are like, to be able to export them to the EU, they need to pass EU approval.

    Nice try at deflection, but that doesn’t kick in for another 10 years.

    It’s a concern, granted, but the blame for Brexit still rests on the shoulders of those who voted for it and the charlatans that encouraged them.

    Presumably this will help Ireland build the border wall.

    That will go down well with the US Congress.

    The sheeple who voted for Brexit will follow the u-turn and go back to moaning about 'metropolitan elite'.

    Yes, you'll probably need to nip down to the cellar for a few months. Bung £50 into the Xmas drinkies fund and we'll say we don't know where you are...
