Ever closer to Brexit! 🥂 🍻 🍾

Remainers are welcome, as ever.

But!

If you just want to abuse Brexiteers, then start your own thread.

This is a pub thread, not an interrogate-a-Brexiteer thread

We have more in common etc, even if Brexit divides us.

hey is clearly just saying things for effect now.

Best to ignore him/her.

you cannot “buy off” the border.

"buying off"?How old are you ffs? Do you have any idea about how we got to where we are/were in NI?
Jesus Christ!!

Bearbehind - the last refuge of the remainer - a semi flounce off...

No flouncing here, Hey. Do you seriously think NI is sorted by flashing a bit of cash?

The only entity buying off NI is the Tories with a £1 billion bung to the DUP.

I'm not flouncing anywhere hey

You are being deliberately atangonistic goady fucker- nothing more to say to you unless you can actually back your comments up.

gussy yup well aware thank you - go on, where am I going wrong?

The normal people of ni didn’t want the troubles - by the end any noble sentiment on either side was reduced to simple gangsterism by repugnant paramilitaries.

Hey the throwing of money at the problem does not avoid the international law in play with the GFA/BA/peace agreement. Do you accept that breaching that agreement is detrimental to the UK's international standing? If you can agree that, do you accept that to revise the terms of an international agreement successfully means following the terms of that agreement to achieve the agreed revision(s)? Note I have not said what those agreed revisions might be, merely that there is a legal process and that it will need to be followed.

So hey how exactly do we deal with the thousands of "feckless" parents

presumably living on benefits and leading "cushy lives" as you so kindly put it ? Abolish libraries and sure start centres , cutting services that try to help the troubled adolescents that might ultimately turn into those "feckless "parents ?
That's what concerns me about people like you - I grudgingly acknowledge your desire to leave the Eu but despair of your lack of empathy for others

But Hey I really think you don't get it at all. Just because I am a 'decent' type of person doesn't mean I wouldn't have a need for such a place, I have done what I can for my children but I now have post traumatic stress disorder and secondary trauma having been left on my own with no support. Let me say that mental health problems affect all sections of society so it matters not which part of it you come from.
There are plenty of people at the 'bottom of the pile' who would also engage with support. My mum helped many when she was a HV in some very poor areas.

The whole world knows we are trying to find a way forward with the NI problem.....it's not going to be a surprise if it can't be fixed.....
But it could be agreed that it will temporary left as a hold while new terms are agreed....what like the Brexit deal we hear you cry....oh maybe one might have an effect on the other ......

• how about we start by 're educating the youth of today so they become Better parents before the kids arrive.

You know they block all phone signal in schools . We make them realise they lose sometimes and the world doesn't owe them a living . They need to work for it.....

So Mummy how will the temporary fix of leaving the situation unchanged on the island of Ireland be agreed by the union we do want to remain intact the UK that is - England, Wales, Scotland and NI?

And what if one of the steps to achieve a change to the international treaty to fully implement Brexit on the island of Ireland is to say no to the proposed change? Remember the NI referendum vote was strongly (ie much more than the overall 51.9:48.1 split) in favour of remaining in the EU. What then for the union of the UK?

So does this mean to keep the Irish happy they should leave the UK and remain in the EU.

Mummy what happens to good parents who fall on hard times, lose their job, illness etc? Do you ever think anything through?

So the positive of Brexit from this evening's discussion is that throwing money at a problem is both successful and a waste, depending on how one views the reason for spending the money.

And some hope that just by wishing it was other than it is will be a successful strategy for achieving Brexit, seamlessly transitioning to WTO rules, and disregarding an international peace treaty because it is a trifle inconvenient.

No Mummy it means that it is not simple or straightforward.

How does 're educating the parents of tomorrow effect the parents of today .... time travel isn't real.

You know they block all phone signal in schools

Untrue.

Or are you actually advocating this?

(It’s illegal by the way).

Do you know how often the children use a phone at school... Change the law and put an umbrella lock over the school.... make it legal.....
Phones in schools are bad...and not needed...

Agnes. I missed a comma out..... wanted it to happen .

Don’t be a twat. Schools are quite capable of prohibiting the use of phones during the school day (my DC’s school does this quite successfully - it’s a standard comprehensive school).

Internet blockers can interfere with radio communications and their use can be considered a criminal offence in the UK.
