Yes, it immediately solves the backstop/Irish Border problem, and largely assures the smooth flow of traffic between us and mainland Europe.

But of course remaining in does that and much more.
.
Far too logical, and that's the problem in La La land Brexit Britain

You want Diane Abbott as home secretary Flecc. Listen to things she has said in past, look how she deals with things now. Not only incompetent but dangerous too. She didnt withdraw statements she made 34 years ago and never explained why she voted against actions government planned about the groups Marr listed. (terrorist groups?, she refused to identify groups she believed merely dissedents)
I dont understand how anyone can support such as Abbott and Corbyn.

Of course I'm aware of the poem. I was making an amusing and pithy aside at your clumsy attempt of pathos.

Have you got sand in your mangina Oyster? I look forward to the resulting pearls of as yet unknown wisdom you may yet impart to me.

I am very clever though and would be surprised if the licking and sticking you cut and paste on here isn't something I already know.

I live in hope though.
It was not pithy or amusing. You might substitute crass and offensive.

even with a customs union, the border problem won't go away completely.
The issue with collecting import duty for the EU is solved, regulatory compliance and VAT collection are still outstanding. Businesses have to pay VAT on arrival, submit customs declaration for VAT and claim back VAT paid.
I send bikes to the Channel Island, it's in a similar situation.

OK - going off-topic here so asking for trouble but....

Why is the kid with no legs one of the main commentators on the C4-F1? I can only assume it's because he has no legs. Otherwise? How come?

They're asking him for his 'expert experience' on stuff. Huh? He's a fuuuking kid for Christs sake.

Where is Eddie?

Am I really going to have to shelve out £32 month for Sky Sports?

In the context in which flecc posted, it makes a huge difference. We do currently have an Irish/ NI border. How do I know?. Well the road surface is a bit better in the RoI, the carriage way marking is wider and thicker in NI, the font on the roadsigns is a little different. The milk collection truck from the RoI creamery can wind its way into the dozen farms in NI and collect the milk for pasteurization , before it being sold in the Tesco in Glasgow

Other than I have no clue what you are rabbiting on about, no you can stop paying anything to SKY.

I was imaging family get-togethers today with various off-spring helping their possibly less than technoholic rellies to both vote and verify.

Were my mother still alive, I can imagine just that. A discussion and, if she wished, help through the voting process.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER.

NAME: Boris Johnson
AGE: 54
ABOUT: Looks like several dogs standing on each other's shoulders and wearing a coat in an attempt to get into a cinema to watch a film about a bum that's come to life.
Looks like what would happen if the moon lost its job and started sleeping rough around Milton Keynes and stealing suits from outside the British Heart Foundation charity shop.
Called black people "flag waving piccaninnies with watermelon smiles and said they were thick compared with "orientals"and accused the president of Turkey of ******* a goat. Basically says the sort of stuff your Grandad would say if you thwacked him around the head with a dildo until he got brain damage.

NAME: Michael Gove
AGE: 51
ABOUT: Looks like a man who's taken off his space helmet on Mars and has seconds left to live.
A man so devoid of integrity that he doesn't even have any in or around his own chin.
A man who looks like a haunted ventriloquist dummy that's been carved out of a turnip by a paedophile.
Michael Gove looks like he's had his face cut off by a serial killer and then used as a sort of mitt to extract honey from a bee hive before having it carelessly tossed back onto his skull by someone in a hurry.
Jogs around London like someone who's just killed, ****** and eaten (in that order) a woman in a local park.
After his time as Education Secretary, he's now less popular with teachers than chicken pox and headlice.

NAME: Dominic Raab
AGE: 45
ABOUT: Looks like someone in the middle of a compound nervous breakdown who's stapled a bunch of wafer thin ham onto their own head before going on a rampage in a South London train station armed with a machete.
Says that the average food bank user is taking the ****, feminists are obnoxious bigots and that the NHS is a childish wish list.
The sort of **** he comes out with makes you wonder if his forehead is a prosthetic mass of putty placed there to cover up his ******* horns.
Even his name looks like it's probably some sort of anagram of an ancient, malevolent demon from Mesopotamia.

NAME: Jeremy Hunt
AGE: 52
ABOUT: A man who's done so much damage to the National Health Service he makes Dr Harold Shipman look like Florence Nightingale.
A man who looks like he'd rohypnol his closest friends at a dinner party and sell their organs on the back market.
His wry, smug, smile looks like it should be accompanied by the sound of a high court judge lambasting him for his lack of remorse at the end of harrowing and disturbing court case.
Hunt is a man who is referred to as Jeremy **** every single time his name is mentioned on the news due to the sheer power of word association and unconscious, Freudian, impulses.

NAME: Sajid Javid
AGE: 49
ABOUT: A man with a perfectly round head who's skull will presumably one day be displayed in Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum causing future anthropologists to even question its authenticity.
A man who stands with such a wide power stance, in an attempt to evoke authority, that he looks like he's just had a fire extinguisher pushed up his arse by a bear.
He's constantly voted for tougher immigration and benefit cuts like some sort of ****, despite recognising that those people threatened with deportation could have been his parents.
He's kicked down more ladders than a ******* scaffolder.

NAME: Jacob Rees-Mogg
AGE: 49
ABOUT: he looks like a drawing of Postman Pat that's been scratched into the side of a spinning Jenny by a Victorian chimney sweep. And not in a good way.
He looks like a 19th Century steam engine salesman who spends his evenings drowning children in the lake at the bottom of his garden and reciting incantations from Aleister Crowley's Satanic Bible.
He looks like what might happen if Adolf Hitler was ever reincarnated in the form of the Windows 95 'helpful paperclip' and sent back 200 years through a wormhole to campaign against the abolition of the slave trade.
The kind of simpering, hat-wringing simpletons who support Jacob-Rees-Mogg are the types of people who camp outside Buckingham Palace for 3 days, crying and waving their Union Jack flags whilst awaiting the arrival of a royal baby, whilst back in their bedsit - littered with Sprite bottle containing their own **** - the eviction notices continue to rain through the letterbox. Unaware of the irony and devoid of hope. These are the worst humans in the world. Evolved, miraculously from the types of people who ran into gunfire during the Crimean War because a man with a handlebar moustache who went to Cambridge told them to.
******* hell.

You can still have a toast to her memory mate.

I shall do the same.
