Does it though? Not according to the Brussels Broadcasting Cooperation. They stated the following. What does the Good Friday Agreement say about a hard border? A lot less than you might think. The only place in which it alludes to infrastructure at the border is in the section on security. During the Troubles there were heavily fortified army barracks, police stations and watchtowers along the border. They were frequently attacked by Republican paramilitaries. Part of the peace deal involved the UK government agreeing to a process of emoving those installations in what became known as "demilitarisation". The agreement states that "the development of a peaceful environment... can and should mean a normalisation of security arrangements and practices." The government committed to "as early a return as possible to normal security arrangements in Northern Ireland, consistent with the level of threat". That included "the removal of security installations". That is as far as the text goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

David Trimble, who won a Nobel peace prize for his work on the GFA profoundly disagrees. In fact he is taking legal action because the WA contrivances the GFA, as it leaves NI without representation. So on one side we have Nobel prize winning politician that negotiated the GFA and on the other side we have clever **** on football forum. Not surprisingly, I’m going with Trimble on this one.

How can you lump Leavers and their opinions all together. George Galloway has a different version of Leave than Nigel Fararge. It’s like me saying Remain are all over the place, which version of Remain do you want to follow, Ken Clarke’s or Diane Abbott’s. I was happy with the version of Leave that the leaders of Remain told us would happen. Out of the Single Market and out of the Custom Union, but that’s just me. One thing for certain is a Tory cabinet couldn’t implement a a Socialist agenda and a Remain one couldn’t do similar for a Remain one. May’s deal is the best that a Remainer could deliver, because they started from a position that Brexit was something that needed risk managing rather than embracing. As May said herself, “you can’t deliver Brexit, if you don’t believe in it”. If reports are to be believed (and I’ve seen nobody dispute them) a comprehensive free trade agreement was offered for Britain back in March, to me (and I suspect most Leavers) that’s a far far better deal than the one May signed up for. So it’s just not true that May’s was the only deal available or possible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well said Dan Hodges “Watching senior Remainers siding with Tusk, I’m genuinely starting to wonder why Brexiteers don’t start campaigning for a 2nd referendum themselves. They’d have a gay old time, and end up smashing it 70-30 or 80-20. Remainers literally don’t have a clue”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Driving to the Palace game I had the misfortune to listen to Solent. Blackmore asked Ralph if he had an issue with Bertrand. Ralph’s answer was a long winded load of waffle, they went back to the studio and Dave stated that he hoped Ralph hadn’t made his mind up over Bertrand “too early”. Thought the question a bit weird, felt Ralph’s answer unconvincing and wondered why Dave said what he did. Was also surprised nobody mentioned it on here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What on earth makes you think they’ll get their way. When has a big club ever complained about the pitch and gotten the game rearranged. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That’s it then, proof that we need to stop Brexit. If a Rotary club millionaire has changed his mind, that’s good enough for me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Probably the worst I’ve ever seen Firminho play, he was really poor. Baffling why they let Clyne go out on loan and are now having to play Milner there. The main difference between them and City is the midfield, Liverpool looked so pedestrian and plain in there, whereas City are really creative. Maybe different when Lallana is fully match fit, but at the moment City can break sides down easier imo. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m puzzled as to what your issue is. Any country that has control of its immigration policy can decide the numbers and professions of its immigrants. If we’re short of vets it’s perfectly reasonable to let any vet from The EU or indeed anywhere else in the world work here. If Parliament so wish, nothing will change in respect of vets. If they decide to impose restrictions on veterinary immigrants , we can vote them out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So let’s get this straight. According to you there are jobs that Brits don’t want to do. Being a leftie I presume you think it’s ok to pay people welfare, whilst they pick and choose jobs they deem good enough for them. There will not be a labour shortage after Brexit, not a chance. Don’t worry people will still want to serve your Latte, or wipe your arse, they maybe Africans or Asians or god forbid working class English, but you won’t notice much difference at all. I doubt immigration numbers will change much at all, especially with the sopping wet Parliament we have now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Pathetic attempt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh dear. It’s been a bad week for Chucka, his local PLP has adopted one member one vote, making it easier for the Corbyn cult to deselect him. Reports are that he stormed off before the result was announced. Not so keen on the people voting in Streatham. http:// https://mobile.twitter.com/streathamsllab/status/1091101177989742595 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not quite, her wording was that she wouldn’t lead them into the election scheduled for 2022. They’ll want her gone before she gets the chance to involve herself in the future relationship. With her negotiating skills we’ll probably end end giving IOW to the French. Once a PM says they’re going, they always end up going before they want to. They won’t humiliate her, but I’m sure they’ll insist she’s gone by conference, in return for their support. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m afraid the Lib Dumbs chucked the best chance of voting reform away in a rush for the ministerial limos. They’d spent decades fighting for PR and could have made it a red line in any coalition. Instead The Tories allowed him to save face with a ridiculous AV vote. It won’t happen here, not a hope in hell. The parties are coalitions themselves. The only thing that upstart parties can do is damage one of them. UKIP could only deny the Tories a majority, they could never win enough seats. They could split the Tory vote, which is why Cameron ended up offering a referendum. Had he not done so, he probably wouldn’t have won a majority. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That’s because Jezzas a Brexiter and Mays not. The other positive about this plan is that May will probably have to commit to leaving office pretty soon afterwards. I’d imagine Brexiters will demand that in return for their vote. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turkish EU affairs minister Volkan Bozkir threatened that Turkey would leave the CU in 2014 over TTIP, so it’s entirely feasible that a Trade deal could be the catalyst for Labour withdrawal from their permanent CU. Perhaps I wasn’t clear, but the “permanent “ CU the Brixiters sign up to would replace the customs arrangements in the Back stop, not come into effect on Independence Day. There would still be a transition, but more importantly for the border, the elements of the SM the Back stop gives the island of Ireland remain. Everything is then up for grabs during the negotiations about the future arrangement. Obviously, we’d be in a weaker position than I’d like, but no weaker than we would be under Mays turd. The key thing is we’re out, or certainly further out than we’ve been for 40 years. Following an election , a new leader, less DUP influence , less turncoats, and a bigger mandate and we can finish the job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is absolutely zero chance of us remaining in the single market, unless we get an opt out on free movement. Customs union, maybe only for the short/Med term. Being a new loyal party member I had an interesting conversation with a life long member trying to tap me up for some door knocking ( I told him to **** off, I’ve got better things to do). Gathering traction with right minded people is the following as a last resort to save May’s turd; Agree to Corbyns permanent CU to get the deal over the line. How permanent is permanent. I know that sounds ridiculous but bare with me. The thinking is you can’t get out of the back stop because it’s designed to be temporary and is a fallback option, that nobody wants to use. A “permanent “ arrangement has to have some withdrawal mechanism. Perversely, it could be easier to get out of a permanent CU than a temporary back stop. There’s nothing to stop the next Tory manifesto containing the commitment to withdraw from it. I know people are going to say that a permanent CU is that, permanent. But it can’t be. If Labour are seriously saying that we have to remain in a CU for forever and a day, what happens if The EU agree a version of TTIP in 30 years time, that opens up the NHS to US private firms ( in the CU but not part of The EU we wouldn’t have a veto), what if The EU are dominated by far right politicians in 2050, do we have to stay in? Of course not, if Government have a mandate they’ll be able to withdraw from it. Once the “people’s vote” losers disappear and frauds like Wollaston, Grieve, Sourbry & Boles are deselected, a real Tory can finish the job. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
