Or more likely, they and the rest of the 400m people in the EU can pull up the anchor on the UK and let it drift off into the Atlantic
Why dont you just let Arlene Foster conduct the Brexit talks instead of May. Its not as if May will be still in the job nearing the end of the talks anyway and would save her having to consult with Foster every hour for her opinion
He probably didn't point out the poll result in Ireland because that was not what the article was about.
Not bothered. Either way I will still have to depend on old Ryanair to get me to Leeds games. Unless of course we drift in opposite direction and become landlocked with the UK
The article is about Ireland being played by the EU and says at the start 'As if the EU hadn’t time and again overridden the Irish people’s democratic wishes?' and regarding the referendum on Lisbon ;'The EC said there was ‘no Plan B’ to Lisbon — in short, it would carry on regardless of what the daft Irish thought.' So why wouldn't the article include what the current Irish thinking is towards the EU - because the Irish populations overwhelming support would suggest that either the Irish voters are indeed daft or have a differing opinion to the events/ the EU than what the writer describes.
You obviously view everything with a very blinkered outlook. I read both sides to the posts to obtain information and not to just knock everything that does not agree with what I want it to.
Always happy to read any post (and the fact that I've quoted it suggests that I actually have) but have a friend who is friends with Brendan O'Neill so they often post links to his articles so I've read enough to know where he's coming from and how he is not including some important context points in his article to make his blinkered point. In the interest of balance and as a counterpoint to him would suggest @brianmlucey https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/05/rejecting-eu-deal-dup-sold-northern-ireland
Your link is also a good read, and the truth is, probably, somewhere in the middle, the point I was making is, I except both articles and take from both, where as I think you would just argue about one side of it because it goes against your side of things.
When its all boiled down, some will win and some will lose along the way in the Brexit thing. Looking in from the outside though, I sure as hell wouldnt want your current PM in charge of meddling with the futures of your children and grandchildren. Still, it appears exactly where youre at and I genuinely hope each and every one of you benefit from the outcome It doesnt matter a jot what any journalist or blogger thinks, its whatever the politicians manage to cobble together that will have the impact
