At the risk of being an armchair psychologist, I think the reaction to Trump's tax changes is understandable - it is seen as him overcoming challenges after a long battle, and a harbinger of him doing so in some of the promises he made they see as personally advantageous. If you like, they see it as reaffirming the vote they made in the first place.

I predict disappointment to come.

We could get a similar effect here. To date, there is nothing that has happened to give the Leavers the same boost. But if the EU, for example, were to concede to no payments, we would see the same. In the meantime the Leavers have to live on "we won, get over it".

The blogged views of an untraceable individual on a site with extreme right wing Tory links who is arguing that everybody who opposes Brexit (remind us how many voted against it) have been brainwashed to do so
What is there to say more than that Iains?
Your blogger will find his place in heaven next to extremist right winger, Guido Fawkes and the Russian billionaire who believes Assad has been sadly misjudged.
Where is there a single shred of information in your linked outpourings of opinion?
You people continue to shuffle around the facts of Brexit - that it was a bad idea sold on Xenophobia and has been totally bungled to crisis point by an idiotic Government who even threw away their own majority.
If more proof were needed, look to the swing away from these clowns at the last election to judge how many voters have changed their mind

If you think Brexit has been difficult, just wait until agreement has been reached - if it ever will be!
There are 1.5 million Brits living in Europe at the present time - at the last count 30,000 of them were drawing unemployment benefit.
Are there secret discussions taking place to ascertain that these people will be allowed to stay on (and continue drawing dole) or is the Government busy creating jobs and accommodation for when they have to return.
So far, it is only dribbles of pee that have hit the fan - wait till the real turds start flying!

My point was that that you were wrong about the growth figures being bad. That was my opinion and I backed it with reports in both the Telegraph and Independent which both said the growth figures were good.

The Border will be closed because of Brexit


Yes, but it does not need to be. That is my point.

Do not be stupid Keith - The North is part of Britain on the insistence of the DUP - why should Ireland make any sacrifices?

They should not. Closing the border would be a massive blow to them and EU should not force it on them just to punish us.

You really are a desperately stupid man if you think somebody can actually leave an organisation and still reap the benfits of membership

We do not want any of the "benefits."
We would like free trade, but other non members have that and without paying either.

Tell you what - why can't Britain just tell Norther Ireland to piss off and go and be a part of mainland Ireland - wouldn't that solve everything?

Sadly no. They have to want it. We believe in their right to self determination.

It's only a terrorist based party that is preventing that from happening

No. It is the will of the Irish people.

"Closing the border would be a massive blow to them and EU "
Closing the border is simply returning to the same position as anybody outside of the EU
The border was closed right up to a few decades ago - Britain being part of Europe opened it up and Britain's leaving has now threatened to close it
Ireland is full of European workers at present and they are all welcomed as an asset to the economy
At present Europeans are LEAVING BRITAIN in their thousands, thanks to the inescure future brought about by Brexit
Do you think the Xenophobes who voted for Brexit will be happy when Europeans from Ireland start crossing into the North and then into mainland Britain through an open Border?
That will be a betrayal of what they voted for - getting rid of foreigners
This is the great contradiction of Brexit - a move to stop immigration while at the same creating a situation where Brits abroad, including 30,000 unemployed, are quite likely to be forced to move back to a Britain that can't cope with shortages in health care, housing and employment
Your mindless repetition of Europe forcing a closed border is reaching the point of imbecility


"Too many points for one post again Jim."

Not true. It was only a security border not a trade or tariff border.
It was opened by the ending of the troubles.

Ireland is full of European workers at present and they are all welcomed as an asset to the economy

Yes, here too.

Do you think the Xenophobes who voted for Brexit will be happy when Europeans from Ireland start crossing into the North and then into mainland Britain through an open Border?

Who cares what xenophobes think? Visitors from EU will always be welcome here.

That will be a betrayal of what they voted for - getting rid of foreigners

Who cares what xenophobes think. The rest of us did not vote for that.

Your mindless repetition of Europe forcing a closed border is reaching the point of imbecility

Sorry, but it is a fact that UK has declared it will not impose one but EU is threatening to.

BRITAIN HAS CHOSEN TO LEAVE EUROPE - IN DOING SO, THEY HAVE ABANDONED ANY CLAIM TO THE RIGHTS OF EUROPEAN MEMBERSHIP

Yes. Obviously.

AS OUTSIDERS, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME FRONTIER LAWS AS ANY NON-MEMBER -
Yes, and none of them require border posts.

THE SAME LAWS THAT BRITAIN IMPOSES ON EVERY FOREIGN NATIONAL WISHING TO ENTER.

UK and Ireland both allow people from EU to enter and that will continue after Brexit, so it is not an issue.

Amusing examples of politicians at work today. In those red lines it says trade deal agreed by 2018. Andre Marr spoke to Rees Mogg and asked if was a misprint and should be 2019. Of course, agreed Jacob, he isn't changing the date, it is a simple misprint.

A little later, over on Peston another minister insists he did mean 2018 and that is quite right.

"EU citizens will still be able to travel to and live in Britain after Brexit under new immigration plans, it has been reported.
But a system of permits will limit the number of working migrants under the Home Office proposals.
Theresa May said on July 31 that it was “wrong” to suggest free movement of people will “continue as it is now” after March 2019.

I don't think the signatories believe they are achievable by any negotiation, Keith, and not the day (or perhaps the fortnight) before an agreed position has to be announced. It seems to be more about positioning than actually achieving anything more concrete.

For example if Ireland/the EU needs to be convinced that there is some mechanism for harmonised regulation across the border to prevent a hard border I would be astonished if they could agree to no regulations after 2019 having an effect.   The same is true for EU residents in the UK and the role of the ECJ.

So this all 'hard Brexit', so in effect no agreement. Which does require a hard border, in most people's opinion, though I accept you don't think so. And I believe that is the worst possible deal - again, I know you don't agree.

If you mean control migration then yes.
EU citizens can come and stay as long as they want but will not have access to benefits or the right to work. That does not require border controls.

From the Guardian, 4th December:

====
May had been given the deadline of Monday 4 December to table the offers before a European council summit on 14 December, when EU leaders will decide if "sufficient progress" has been made to proceed to the next phase.


But although the money and citizens' rights issues have been mostly resolved, the future arrangement with Ireland has remained a significant obstacle because the British government has yet to offer a firm commitment explaining how it will guarantee avoiding a return to a hard border after Brexit.
[...]
Chances of a deal with British officials had been put at 50:50 on Sunday afternoon, but at midnight Brussels time, officials said an agreement had not been reached.

I haven't seen a reference anywhere else to the midnight statement. Of course, we may still be playing brinkmanship.

"UK has stated it will not stop any EU people coming and staying as long as they want. yes"
You are mad!!!!
The Irish live and work in Britain because of a 'special arrangement' agreed to in 1922
The idea that European will b able to continue to enter Britain via Ireland after Brexit goes against very promise of those campaigning to leave
May's statement says that the aim is to limit foreign workers by limiting the flow from Europe as well as elsewhere
"a system of permits will limit the number of working migrants under the Home Office proposals."
Theresa May said on July 31 that it was “wrong” to suggest free movement of people will “continue as it is now” after March 2019.
After this date, EU workers moving to the UK will have to register until a permanent post-Brexit immigration policy is put in place.
In September, a leaked Home Office paper revealed the UK plans to cap the number of low-skilled EU migrants - confirming an end to free movement after Brexit.
Freedom of movement allows EU citizens to live and work in and in certain circumstances access the welfare system of any other EU country.
The government document, dated August 2017, spells out dramatic plans to slash the number of Europeans entering Britain.
Bosses may also be forced to recruit British workers first before looking overseas.
And ministers may restrict new work permits to occupations where there is a shortage of workers

"No border posts"
The border checks for Europeans coming in will be exactly the same as those in Europe restricting non member citizens - after Brexit the Brits in Europe will be subject to the same restrictions.

I had been discussing the 5 dissidents from the Brexit committee and made a simple slip.
Shame on me, but I am only human and I was bound to make a mistake one day and there it is.

What do you want to know about McGuiness? Is it relevant to Brexit?

"Jim, migrants come to work here and receive help if not working."
Britain is claiming special privileges from Europe not granted to non-members when we leave, yet you are suggestion that should not be reciprocated towards Europeans wishing to lve in Britain
You're as mad as a bag of frogs Keith
To confirm that insanity, you are saying that the demands by Europe by the Irish Government and the DUP that there should be no closed border - either inland or on the coast, are not necessary because the British would be quite happy for Polish painters to use Ireland as an entry point to Britain rather than Heathrow
I reckon that Little Englanders like you should be forced to wear bells around their necks to warn the rest of us that you are in the vicinity!

Another claim that you can't prove!

Another cat thrown among the already toxic Brexit pigeons
Leading immigration lawyer, Simon Cox has suggested that Brexit will give the British Government the right to deport Irish citizens
That should really help things along
Is that too much information for you to deal with Keith?

Not true Jim.
We are asking for free trade, but other non members enjoy that for free already, and it would be mutually beneficial.

yet you are suggestion that should not be reciprocated towards Europeans wishing to lve in Britain

No I am not.

They can come in either way and welcome, but they will need a permit to work while they are here.

Maybe we should get May Morning Dew to call another election - that should get him in with a comfortable majority
Whoever follows May Blossom couldn't make a greater feck-up than she has...... whoops, forgot about Boris Johnson and Damian Green and Philip Hammond and Amber Rudd and David Davis and William Rees Mogg.....
Mind you - Green has shown he's got what it takes to hold office (or hold something!!!)
Amber Rudd is a bit busy saving Phillip Hammond from being sacked and David Davis is doing the same for Damien Green, Reese mogg has been laughed out of the race
Which leaves Boris - he's just the negotiator to get Brexit through

The unedifying sight of a small bunch of knuckledragging bigoted pseudo-British gobshites holding the weak and ineffectually tory government by their shrivelled, husklike bollocks is one of the most pathetic sights I have ever seen. It's a nadir in democracy for this country.

Well done Brexiteers, you gave control to people of ignorance, bigotry and violence. You stupid twats.

Still no comment on the actual situation of Brexit
Yaeterday's negotiations failed because an extremist sectarian party with terrorist links, who was apparently informed of Britain's intentions in advance of their being discussed with the EU representatives, phoned the PM and told her she no longer had their support in the negotiations.
THey have announced that the Northern Counties withdrawal from Europe must be exactly the same as that of Britain in order to ensure that it remains part of the UK
This more or less scuppers any hope of an open border between North and South.
Leader of the DUP, Arlene Foster, (still up top her arse in economic scandals) has called off the planned meeting between her and 'May or May Not' which calls into question there being a settlement before the end of the Year - The Sectarian Tail is now happily wagging the British poodle
