[taeglas]

BBC presenter John Humphrys suggested to the Irish Republic’s Europe minister, Helen McEntee that the Irish Republic should quit the EU and join the UK as a solution To Brexit. Such ignorance is astounding.

That sounds insane. I'm really surprised he said that.

How disgustingly arrogant of him

Idiot

Typical of the extreme bias of the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation.

I was disgusted by that interview. The Irish eu minister was fantastic.

Wot, magical thinking among Brexiters? Surely not.

I'm not at all surprised he said that.

Humphry's is basically an ERG groupie.

Life is much better and blood pressure is much improved when you wave bye-bye to the Today Show. It's haemorrhaged listeners in the past couple of years and I'm not one bit surprised.

This attitude (shared by many Torys) is why brexit will never work smoothly.

The fecking pig ignorance is astounding but not uncommon.

It isn't pig-ignorance to ask a pig-ignorance question at all, it just makes it a lot easier for an Interviewee to appear even more coherent than they might otherwise be?

It's dragging on and Interviewers are running out of questions to ask; and there's a kzillion hundreds of nondescripts around waiting to be asked more of the same questions.

Don't read more into it than there really is - which is nothing.

He should be fired for that crap. Wanker.

Was he possibly playing devil's advocate? Thanks haven't seen the interview btw and I think it's a ridiculous idea.

A much better idea would be for just England and Wales to leave the EU.

Here's the interview

There's "devil's advocate" and there's being a twat. He was a twat.
She was awesome and kept her cool throughout. She ran rings around him which very few uk politicians can manage.

He’s an absolute tool

Was he possibly playing devil's advocate?
Perhaps but as an Irish person I am deeply offended by his attitude.

He's not the first one to suggest it and I doubt he'll be the last.

And if he's saying it publicly, what do you think hard Brexiteers are saying privately?

I'm absolutely amazed at UK politicians and journalists.

He never plays devil's advocate for any stance but a hard Brexit. Funny that...

We're exiting because of imaginary sovereignty, but we'd like you to give up your real sovereignty to suit us. Like before. And your food would be handy. Like before.

Does he really not know that most people think the UK is insane for leaving the EU? And it would be a cold day in hell before RoI would join the UK?

What a fucking idiot.😂😂😂

People with attitudes like Humphrey’s are the reason Ireland mistrusts the British government so much and why need the backstop to protect the GFA.

Fantasists.

There are plenty of Brexiters still insisting that the EU will "blink" and cave to provide a "better deal" in last week before 29 March. Akin to people who insisted in 2016 that "German car makers" will guarantee that UK gets a good trade deal with EU, and that Article 24 in WTO means No WA = No Deal = "No Tariffs". After all, A great Brexit deal would already be on the Table, if only May wasn't PM; problem is lack of PM = true Believer.

His question wasn't "for balance " or "Devil's advocate", it was goady bollocks playing to the bad boys at the back of the class (to paraphrase TUC leader".
Like asking the Chief Rabbi "so, this Holocaust thing is a bit overstated, isn't it?".

Stupid twat.

Bloody hell.
