The only reason varadkar is still there is because of brexit no one else wants the job at the moment he is an arrogant clown

Simon Coveney playing a blinder on the Andrew Marr,couldn't dispute much of that.
Pity fragrant Arlene made such a balls of the RHI, a massive overspend of British taxpayers money,which in turn led to the devolution of Stormont at a time when it was badly needed. |

Agree with G Hall, Varadkar is a clown

Just saw some Irish guy on Marr show trying to say the EU and Ireland are being the reasonable ones yet the back stop can't be changed.
The back stop is totally unacceptable. How stupid does the man have to be to not realise that a deal that binds us to the EU for ETERNITY with no veto and no way out is not acceptable? How can he say that with a straight face. Oh and how could the useless Marr get Sturgeon on and not grill her about the SNP "ministry of Truth" going round their website the other day and airbrushing Alex Salmond out of all their history? All the major newspapers were having fun with it. Salmond is of coure angry. It's laughable, how could the useless b&stard Marr not take her up on that? E.g. the 2014 campaign led by salmond (of course) is now: "spearheaded by the SNP and its then depute leader Nicola Sturgeon". Salmond removed  |

But the backstop was agreed by the UK,the deal was signed and negotiated,it isn't anyones fault except the UK for agreeing to it.

Irish guy in interview vetoed any attempt to change it to be reasonable while at the same time trying to say it was the UK was being unresaonable. The "it's indefinite" is FUNDAMENTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. It is fundamentally not a reasonable thing to demand. You'd have to be a moron to not see that. Yet he was saying that must stay!! This is of course the sort of thing May has been trying to argue against and "compromise" with I'm sure behind the scenes. If the Irish won't budge with that then they can go take a hike.
|

By:
"You would have to be a moron not to see that". But the fact remains it was agreed at the negotiating stage a few months ago, point the finger at your negotiaing politians,they didn't see it.
|

By:
Well we are where we are now. We know that's the main sticking point, we can see why, yet this Irish guy says it's not acceptable to change it. It's quite probable that was the line during negotiation, I very much doubt the UK said "we want this" as their demand.
|
|
By:
Either it changes or we go with no deal.
No way can we allow any foreign country to dictate to us. |
|
By:
^ That is all well and good, the other side of the coin is if you think you can dictate to the EU best of luck with that project.
In their eyes it was all agreed(albeit subject to passing parliament),now the deal is being reneged on. The whole charade is done and dusted on the EU's side, a few to leave and the UK is in this position,really? Your politicians are failing the people badly. |
|
By:
"a few weeks to leave" ^
|
|
By:
no one is trying to dictate to the EU , either they want a trade deal or they don’t
Its their decision |
|
By:
By the way the deal is not being reneged on , it’s not acceptable
|
|
By:
And whose fault is that lfc? Why was it "negotiated" in the first place? Surely someone should be accountable for that but they haven't been.
|
|
By:
You have to be aware once the Irish are involved in anything common sense goes out the window
|
|
By:
That’s the fundamental problem really , the deal would be fine between the U.K. and the EU
|
|
By:
The Irish are rightly clinging to the Good Friday agreement. They share a border with the UK,the UK are leaving the EU hth.
|
|
By:
In their eyes it was all agreed(albeit subject to passing parliament),now the deal is being reneged on.
The deal isn't being reneged on simply because there was no deal only an agreed position to put to Westminster. Parliament rejected it as was its democratic right to do so. |
|
By:
Yep,deal,agreed position,not much difference there.
|
|
By:
That’s what I mean, there would be no need for the good Friday agreement if the Irish weren’t such troublemakers
|
|
By:
It really is ludicrous for pa lapsy to say that the Irish aren’t to blame when it is the Irish who are causing all the trouble
|
|
By:
The irish have a simple solution.
Leave the EU and rejoin the Union. |
|
By:
Pa; it wasn't the UK who agreed to the deal, it was the nutcase. I know she represents the UK but every time her name is left out & the UK replaces it, it absolves her of the blame. Just like every one in the Commons calls it the PM's deal, & not the UK's deal' so it should be for the agreement she signed (and no one ever asks why) & no one else wants
|
|
By:
Haha, rejoin 800 years of abuse,nice one.
|
|
By:
Deary me he’s going back 800 years now : (
no wonder there’s no progress |

We could cut you a deal on all the Billions you owe us.

By:
Fair point,Baphornet, i alluded to that in 10.02, it is almost criminal.
|
|
By:
No doubt there will be a few of ye down in a few years trying to flog us some cheap Argentine beef,that is the realism.
|
|
By:
it's ok, Pa the rest of the UK don't say it either
|
|
By:
there is only one person to blame for the mess; & she still resides at No10 and gets a free ride
|
|
By:
pm May is doing a very good job so far
|
|
By:
They don't Bap.Lovely media,EU, Ireland are the bogeymen, don't dare criticise captain zombie of the good ship titanic who wants to go up for a closer look at the iceberg.
|
|
By:
Put the blame where it lies , the remainer troublemakers and the Irish troublemakers , thanks
|
|
By:
TM probably playing everyone like a fiddle.
The final outcome will reveal all. |
|
By:
Especially the Irish because with them there’s the threat of violence
The remainers haven’t gone that far yet |
|
By:
The ROI should have been talking to the UK about a border solution from the moment we voted to leave.
What did they do? Stand side by side with the EU sabre rattling. |
|
By:
There is no need for a border solution between civilised countries
|
|
By:
^ The UK hadn't a clue about the border until quite a long time after they voted to leave.
It is protecting the Good Friday agreement and that is so right. |
|
By:
Too difficult for the Irish ?
|
|
By:
Bit difficult for you lfc to come to the conclusion that there are more than Catholics in NI.
