I feel another referendum coming. I hope it will be more clearly worded.

The referendum WAS clearly worded.


It was only the Remainers who started coming out and saying "But we don't know what kind of Brexit the British people voted for" as a ruse to give us Brexit in name only, so they can say "But we don't need to take Britain out of the customs union and end free movement because that is not necessarily what people voted for" which is, of course, utter nonsense. We know what the British people want by several polls which have been conducted.

Also, when the Remainers are trying to keep us in the customs union by saying "The British people didn't necessarily vote to leave the customs union" they are lying and are actually bactracking on what their leader said during the referendum campaign:

David Cameron was OBSESSED! 28 times in a 50 minute interview/Q&A he equated 'Leaving EU with Leaving the EU's Internal (Single) Market". Pundits who say Brexiters didn't know they voted to "Leave the Single Market" need to rewatch David Cameron before 23rd June.

Of course, as The Sun pointed out yesterday, if Mr Varadkar carries out his threat Britain can just retaliate by ending RAF protection of Irish skies.


They should send the RAF to have Ireland rejoin the UK... the hard way. :lol:


Either that, or since about 99% of every Irish truck travels across the UK to get to Europe,
a 300% tariff should shut the Micks down in about a week.
Let them choke on their potatoes.

It's Varadkar who started banging on about the Irish-UK border, acting as though it's some sort of problem for Ireland because soon it will be an EU-non-EU border. Yet most EU member states border non-EU member states, and they all seem to get on alright. The Irish are just inventing a problem which doesn't really exist.

No, the Irish have a long and unhappy history with an armed border with Ulster and they don't want to return to those had, old days.

If that happens, it will be as a result of terrorism, and that terrorism will be the fault of terrorists, not Brexit.

Really. Our border with the United States is ptretty much an armed one , again and it has little to do with terrorism originating in Canada.

The armed border was only that way because of the Troubles.

Other than that, there has never been a hard border between the UK and Ireland. There has been free movement between the two countries ever since Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922. That free movement predates the EU.

Brexkt will mean that tarif money will now be collected at the border, probably in both directions. Up go the fences, again.

Dublin: “You mustn’t put up a border.”
London: “Fair enough: we won’t.”
Dublin: “Neither must we.”
London: “That’s your call.”
Dublin: “Why are you being so difficult?”

What is meant by "leave" I wonder?

Does that mean all articles of the union are severed?

Boring?

This from a guy who labors day and night to get responses to his ridiculous posts about England?
