TBH 'the teashop' Leo Aardvark did come out with a stupid comment about the UK being small. He has a short memory.
He also P'd a few off in Westminster during Brexit. Ireland had one function for the EU and that was to try and cause as many problems as possible. He had his moment in the sun.

Yeah the cheek of him working in his country’s best interests rather than kowtowing to us. Doesn’t he realise we won the war?
Sad thing is, if it came to losing UK trade The EU would drop Ireland quicker than than a whores knickers. That member state loyalty crap would go right out the window..
Ellers, just can’t agree with that. The job of the Irish government was to protect Irish interests which is what they did. Our interests are now different. Ireland’s position never changed from Day One, as did the EUs. Not one iota. The rules are the rules. There was only one side who couldn’t agree on the colour of sh**e. Guess who that was?
Ellers, I respect you immensely as a poster on here. But please read your post again. The EU and Ireland haven’t changed their stance in 3 years. It’s Westminster that’s caused all the confusion. The EU has been very clear. Why? Because there’s a set of rules and regulations that haven’t and wont change. The EU can’t just simply drop Ireland or any of its members. It’s the biggest trading block in the world Ellers. I’m sure you’ll understand (but not accept) why anybody outside of Britain would see your post as British arrogance. Sorry but that’s how it sounds
And by the way, I said 2 years ago that I though Britain was making the right choice and one which I fully understood. I admire the decision. I can only hope that one day we pluck up the courage to leave too but in a much more structured way then ye did. I’ve always said that the EU got too big. A common trade policy only agreement between European countries was far enough. The rest is bureaucratic crap.
Agree we did cock up with negotiations. May was weak and was ill advised. The EU (Ireland being part of it) did actually changed position. They said they would never reopen that document and when the saw the possibility of a future no deal, they reopened it. That is a change Nuts.
My point is that Leo upset a few people with his 'Small country' comment because he thinks he has the backing of his mates. Truth is that would all change if the EU thought they would lose our trade. Plenty of great writings on line that say the same thing.

The EU is facing very tough times. Unrest in France and Germany isn’t going away. Immigration is becoming a serious serious issue in several countries. I see it starting to become a real issue here.
I don't want the EU to break up (unlike what some think). I just think it will fall to bits because of too much bureaucracy, red tape and unelected people at the top looking after certain countries and forgetting others.
Good project at start but now it's turned into a monster.

Wannabe Labour leader Emily Thornberry stuns fellow passengers as she puts her feet up on commuter train

Labour leadership contender Emily Thornberry stunned train passengers as she sat sprawled across two seats looking downbeat after a party hustings
And it looked like the pressure had got to her as she put her feet up on the train seat on the journey home from the leadership hustings in Nottingham on Saturday night.
Mrs Thornberry, 59, had been battling it out against rivals Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy at the party event.
A fellow passenger told The Sun: “The train was thinning out by the time that she got on it, but she did sprawl out a bit.
“She got on with her aide, and sat opposite me in a six seater part of the carriage. I was on my own and I thought that I recognised her, and the penny dropped eventually.
“I was a bit surprised that she was on it, because it was the slow train to London, I was a bit like ‘what’s she doing here?’.
“She wasn’t taking up seats while anyone was standing, but she was spread out quite a bit. She didn’t talk much it was mostly her aide.”

Keir Starmer's team probed over claims they hacked Labour's membership data
The shadow foreign secretary’s leadership campaign has hit the buffers after she failed to get a single trade union to back her.
She has admitted she is being “squeezed” between the big-hitters Sir Keir Starmer and Ms Long Bailey.
The Islington South MP is expected to be knocked out of the contest before the final ballot of members.
