Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
£660 million extra for Northern Ireland.....on top of the £1 Billion already secured through DUP confidence and supply deal.
and,
Sammy Wilson MP@eastantrimmp
The UK Government will release an additional £50m per year for 2 years to address immediate pressures in health and education. The first tranche will be delivered by the end of this financial year.
Oh, and something our two resident `Oldcodgers` should thank the DUP for ..
`Both parties have agreed that there will be no change to the Pensions Triple Lock and the universal nature of the Winter Fuel Payment.
Also more importantly this is not a `one-off` deal, it is a year-on-year review of future payments..... and we know who`s holding the aces on that one.
A deal that just keeps on giving!
BTW didn`t matter was in that last box anyway ??? !!!!
You don't get it do you?
This is going to poison any sympathy for Northern Ireland on the Mainland, and when it suits the Tory party it will rat on you, and the DUP are too dim to see that coming.
How long do you imagine that the DUP will continue to be able to Blackmail TM?
Year on year review? oh sure!
The DUP are ten second raters that happen to have temporarily got lucky because TM is desperate.
Once she isn't the deals will be off.
Get real.
we'll know in October when Parliament will have to vote. No deal means probably GE, brexiter MPs are geared up for it, they want local conservative clubs to deselect remainer MPs.
If JC wins or TM gets her majority back, both of these two possibilities are very real, Mrs A. Foster will find next to nothing in her last box.
The majority of people in Britain don't care if Northern Ireland joins Eire or just floats off into the Atlantic. Either would save us a load of problems.
From the BBC:
The chief executive of HM Revenue and Customs told MPs firms would have to pay £32.50 for each customs declaration under the so-called "max fac" solution.
If it's rolled out, Max Fac would cost businesses £20 billions a year.
EU contributions (£9 billions a year net) look quite cheap for frictionless access.

During the troubles a poll showed the great majority in Britain wanted Ireland to be united outside of the UK. I wouldn't be surprised if that still holds true, Northern Ireland's love affair with the UK has always been very much one way.

YouGov poll:
14% respondents think brexit is going well, 67% think it's going badly, 19% don't have a view.

Yes, every year, and has been that way for a long time, it`s called the `Block Grant`
thank-you very much...
Are you attempting to be funny?Yes, every year, and has been that way for a long time, it`s called the `Block Grant`

Don't give up your day job, Wales and Scotland get the same things, time we made you self supporting isn't it?
After Brexit we could do just that to be rid of a nuisance.
By the way
From the independent
"
Brexit support plummets in Northern Ireland as 69% back remain
"More would vote to stay in EU if there were another vote now, compared with 2016"
Saner heads are prevailing it seems.
And when the DUP support is no longer needed, watch it reduce as the post Brexit hardships bite.
Sooner rather than later N.I will be expected to be self supporting.
.
Going badly is different to a desire to cancel ...Well there we are, 67% is a two-thirds majority to cancel Brexit.
.
How?
This Government is not merely failing,but the propaganda machine is failing to cover up for them.
Are the voters going to do what you declared impossible and elect Corbyn?
That's right, we need another referendum asking:
If a bad Brexit agreement was the only option, would you rather remain in the EU? [Yes] [No]
I reckon the 67% would tick the Yes box.
.
You might be right...don't think we,ll get to find out....
And what if majority was 4% ???
Think its proven public aren't capable of decision making and getting on with it...awful lot I prevarication...do we want all this again..a Brexit II thread.....
I suspect public are sick of it..most I speak to say either do it...or forget it.
you can't - both labour and conservative parties promised to deliver brexit.Well there we are, 67% is a two-thirds majority to cancel Brexit.
.
To get out of brexit, a new GE is needed and someone brave (or suicidal) enough to say brexit isn't working.
As Corbyn done a U turn then ? Voting Corbyn in is just more of same...but who knows..
My point was that perhaps they think he will get a better Brexit, not oppose it as May and co are perceived as doing
The Voyager’s drab grey colours also undermined Britain’s reputation when the country needed a powerful “flagship”, Mr Johnson said.
There just might be a reason for drab grey. No aviation expert here, but an awful lot of military aircraft are painted grey. They tend to leave orange, yellow, polished aluminium, etc., to commercial operators.
If Boris wants there to be a huge delay if ever the aircraft has to be handed back for real military duties, (how long does it take to repaint something like that?), on his head be it. On the other hand, if the colour affects target acquisition, yes, let Boris fly in the brightest plane possible, at his head be it.
