May trying to allow NI to stay in the EU to stop any idea of a 'hard' border.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5144371/Scotland-Wales-LONDON-demand-Brexit-deal.html

'Scotland, Wales and even London rushed to demand their own special Brexit deal today after it appeared Theresa May was about to agree to special conditions in Northern Ireland.

Leaks from tense talks in Brussels signalled that Northern Ireland would be allowed to maintain 'regulatory alignment' with the rest of the EU.'

The destroyers are doing very well at smashing up brexit
Report gilbzy December 4, 2017 7:08 PM GMT
The way the destroyers are handling the result of a democratic vote actually almost makes me want a second referendum as I think the victory margin wold be even bigger.
To punish NI (who voted leave as well!!)is beyond a joke.  As for Eire, if they dont want a border with Northern Ireland , they can leave the EU themselves..

May simply looking to implement the will of the people of Northern Ireland, isn't it? Khan and Sturgeon also looking to respect and implement the will of their people.
Report edy December 5, 2017 2:03 PM GMT
In that way Brexit could bring far bigger advantages than initially thought. It could accelerate a restructuring of the entire United Kingdom. Maybe with the end result of London becoming its own city state, Ireland is reunited and Scotland, Wales and England each becoming sovereign, individual nations. No more Scots and London making the Tory victories smaller than they should be, or the Scottish people often being ruled by Tories against their will and voting pattern.

London would want to be part of the EU meaning the M25 would become new border.  Checkpoints to be installed under all intersections.

David Davis, October 2017:
“The government has done Brexit impact assessments in excruciating detail for 58 sectors."

Today when asked if the government had undertaken any impact assessments on the impact of leaving the EU
for different sectors of the economy he simply answered "NO" and then said he was not aware of assessments
in any sectors.

Which one was he lying about then because he obviously is in one of the cases?

it is very very difficult to appreciate just quite how negligent Davis and May have been.

It was Cameron and Osborne with Jeremy Heywood who have been negligent by failing to prepare for the possibility of a Leave vote,the mess is having to be cleaned up by May and Davis under the glare of the media and sundry backstabbers such as Blair,Clegg and Starmer who have more allegiance to Brussels than UK.

afraid not treetop.

invoking article 50 before conducting the necessary background work to be adequately prepared to enter negotiations will go down as one of the most flagrant acts of foolishness and negligence in british history.
Report Injera December 6, 2017 5:55 PM GMT
Why do we need to negotiate with a cartel we're leaving?

First rule of meetings/negotiations is location. May should stay put and let the rejected come to her.

Nobody forced Article 50 to be invoked when it was invoked. They could've taken their due time, explain to the public that it's a mammoth task, instead of letting the British tabloids push them into invoking it before having done their homework.
