The Consequences of Brexit [part 5] Read 1st post before posting

[Penistone999 10]

The negotiations should have been done by professionals who know how to drive a hard bargain, not some wishy washy grey woman who has spent her entire life sitting on the fence and keeping her head down.

 

The EU has been contemptuous of her from the start. She has succeeded only in enhancing their arrogance.

 

The mistake we made was making a Remainer prime minister when Cameron quit. It should have been a hardline Brexiteer .

The DUP are standing up for their principles.

 

Kate Hoey a person who knows much more about Ireland than you do, stood up in Parliament today and said the whole Irish border situation is a nonsense. She said Northern Ireland don't want an Hard Border, The Republic of Ireland don't want an hard Border and the EU don't want an harder border and the UK Government don't want an hard border. Whatever the outcome of Brexit negotiations will not bring back an hard border.

 

how do you know kate hoey knows more about ireland than some of us here do? the current northern ireland secretary of state has admitted she knew very little and, it would appear far less than many here about ireland.

 

while it's quite correct that no one wants a hard border, decisions have consequences, some of them unintended. Some of the other decisions regarding our future relationship with the EU would seem to make a hard border of one form or another more likely.

 

of course, the fact that there is a border at all is a result of decisions taken 90odd years ago by the uk parliament.

I agree, but those who want no deal (or a completely unrealistic deal) at present have the upper hand in the Conservative Party and are hamstringing Mrs May from getting a deal (albeit a vey poor one!)

 

And so they should. LEAVE MEANS LEAVE.

why?

 

a number of them had the opportunity to stand for leader and they all bottled it.

Kate Hoey is an Ulster unionist who supports fox hunting.

 

On the border question she comes from the same place as the DUP.

So you agree with me that Kate Hoey Labour MP, knows more about Ireland than Sheffield Forum Members do.

Hiya Penny, you alright flower

 

The Evil Tories should've made David Davies PM instead of Cameron then!

 

Davies is a working class lad from a single-parent family who grew up on a council estate, pulled himself up the ladder through hard work and effort, and is a bit partial to the death penalty. You'd love him.

 

Unfortunately, since Davies wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the Evil Tories were never gonna make him PM.

She knows more than some and less than others.

 

The point is that she is a staunch Ulster unionist so her views on Brexit are aligned with the DUP and as such, should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

It's the budget on Monday, so we need to brace ourselves, as this one probably will be the Remainers sweatheart, George Osbornes, forwarned one with the bloodcurdling tax rises and health cuts. Possibly.
