You must realise that situations change and if a Political party in Ireland wins an election , they may want something different to the previous Government, and so something needs to change .

   This is caused by the Irish electing a troublesome  Political party , instead of an agreeable one 

you mean "agreeable" to the tories,  correct  555

  • If you are not going to keep your word you should not agree to something. Untrustworthy that what it is. Next time don't trust UK.   Hope the EU puts up some sanctions if they do. First you

    Seems to be a tough and difficult choice to make . Either stick with the E.U regulations and risk Northern Ireland leaving the U.K and joining Ireland , or ignoring the E.U regulations .

Where are these checks taking place? Who’s making these checks?

 

Trade between the UK and NI is direct, it doesn’t go through EU territory.

Seriously ? You don’t know that EU Inspectors on UK soil are doing these silly unnecessary “checks” physically when could be done digitally with no delays ?

Unionists are understandably Politicking against Protocol & IRA but Bad EU responsible too.
 

Both Solved by dissolving (all) UK Devolved Parliaments & legally ditching NI Protocol. Let these disparate people argue in NI etc. local council & institution chambers not at national level. 

The UK is not going to dissolve ‘Devolved Parliaments’, Washington had already given instruction on the matter.

 

Which begs a question; How’s your ‘sovereignty’ working out.

Brexit removed the UK’s rights to trade with the EU without import/export controls, you got what you voted for, ‘third nation trading rights’.

Nobody is talking of Empire Rob, except maybe you and your extreme views on The British.

 

Believing Boris Johnson sometimes tells lies and believing that Britain is better out of the EU federalist project is not mutually exclusive. Most voters knew that both sides in 2016 were exaggerating the benefits/drawbacks of leaving the EU and made their own mind up.

and you came out with that conclusion how

so you want the same rights as if you were in the EU but without being in the EU, you decided to leave thus have to accept the good and the bad that comes out of it, shouldn't expect any special treatment just because you are the UK

UNSUBSTANTIATED

It is unclear how this figure was calculated. Neither the DUP, DAERA nor the European Commission could confirm the figure.

555 ..... 555  don't you think that if people knew the reality and the potential draw backs of the brexit they would have agreed with it, please keep your opinion just to yourself, don't assume are people would have the same (opinion) as yours, not good to put words on somebody else's mouth

We don’t but we expect / require “ reasonable” respectful treatment per Treaty.
 

There is no “ bad” to being a sovereign nation only short term difficulties in this case made by others. UK gladly pays any such price.

 

Moreover we decline to be ruled from Brussels by some unelected drunk anti- UK tosser from silly toy town countries like Luxembourg.????????

Here’s a real ‘Imports Inspection’ problem.

 

The UK has failed to prepare for inspections at the EU/UK border, there are insufficient staff, insufficient facilities, insufficient procedures.

 

There is no obligation on any EU nation to inspect goods leaving or transiting through their territory to the UK.

 

Goods entering the EU to an EU nation final destination from ‘third nations’ are inspected at the first EU port of entry. (See example of goods arriving from UK to EU).

 

Goods arriving at any EU port from any ‘third nation’ that are destined for the UK are not being inspected by any EU nation, and they are almost certainly not being inspected by the UK’s inadequate customs inspections when they arrive in the UK.

 

The UK has almost no customs inspections on goods arriving from the EU or more worryingly goods shipped via the EU.

 

The UK’s borders are to all practical considerations open to smugglers.

 

Now what was all that about ’Control of our boarders’?

Try to come to terms with the reality, Washington is dictating to the UK the limits of what the UK can and cannot do wrt NI and the Good Friday Agreement.

This might shock you but your liberal use of capital letters doesn't make your posts more believable, quite the contrary.

In about 10 years, when the UK is back in the EU fold, we will all look back on this period of temporary Brit insanity and shake out heads, and historians will in the future probably refer to this time as "The Lost Years".

Looking forward to your next referendum!:thumbsup:

Sounds more like a Fat Lying Incompetent Buffoon who'd say and do anything to deflect attention from his own inadequacies, you'd think listening to the duplicitous oaf the Brexit deal is all new to him, he actually agreed and signed it, there is and was always going to be a border between the UK and the EU either in the Irish sea or between Northern and Southern Ireland I wonder which part of that did the dozy fat T!t didn't quite get ?

The most sensible solution is re-join the Customs Union, but the ERG won’t stand for that, so UK citizens and UK businesses must pay the price.

Time now to revoke the UK Devolved Parliaments. All these little regional tinpot bureaucrats have proven completely useless in governing even their tiny regions WITH central UK Budget support. Just look at the massive decline of services in Scotland after 15 years of SNP governing ! ????Now this business with Stormont. Enough.

What he said has accountable factual basis.He is not to be lightly dismissed like some emotionally- driven “ no value” Twitter muppet. 


I have shown that EU is not respecting UK or Treaty but you and others are impervious to Reason & Facts, for reasons of emotional political narrative. Life is Bloody Difficult. Get Real. Anyway you are Dismissed. ????
