The deal would avoid need for checks on products destined for NI
Great news if true well done .. just now a question if it is acceptable to the unionists
But hopefully a sensible conclusion , well done

a pointless exercise ...u k wont be about in ten years

Deal of course has to be acceptable to N Ireland Unionists first and foremost
and Tory Brexiteers |

Can’t worry about what might be in ten , fifty or a hundred years time

I am perfectly unbothered about the possibility of a United Ireland
could happen tomorrow if that’s what the people want that’s fine |

Until then no checks on British business between GB & NI
|
|
By:
Why are there checks now?
Johnson told us there would be no border and we could take paperwork to him and he would rip it up and throw it in the bin. |
|
By:
If these reports are true then Johnson will have been proved correct , no ?
He knew we had to get out ( democracy ) and he knew if that meant bit by bit by hook or by crook that was how he would do it . That’s how things work , in real life you have to test fly an aircraft and will fix faults that occur Boris is a very clever man ..and knows how to get things done |

That said we’re not over the line yet

No

That’s a better answer from yhtl than usual
even if it is still wrong |

By:
If you think this gets the DUP inside you are very wrong.
|
|
By:
The DUP will look carefully at the proposals
And will come to their usual good judgement As Unionists and British their views on this topic are most important |
|
By:
Onside, this won't do it, they are too blinkered to change,
|
|
By:
The DUP's "usual good judgement " just does not exist . They backed loser after loser in the last 6 years ( and before that too) starting with their support for Brexit , despite the warnings as to how it would harm Northern Ireland .
Then faced with an unworkable and hard Brexit they sided with the ERG ( who are a pack of John Bull morons) and left the country with a hard Brexit . Brexit damages the UK daily , it also damages the EU . If damaging the EU is a priority , it is a sad day all around . Growling at your neighbours is dog in the manger stuff . |

By:
The nationalist mindset really is a wonder to behold
‘ growling at your neighbour ‘ that’s not good .. I I suggest you take your own advice , but then again That wouldn’t occur to you would it ? ,,, quite amazing |

By:
The DUP/LCC/UDA/UVF will not be going back to Stormont as there is now a Sinn Fein First Minister,end of.
This is despite being for the protocol on the back of Johnsons lies to void it. |
|
By:
Cut their salaries further.
|

By:
As an aside it is being reported that youths were paid £80 each to riot against the protocol last year.

By:
@ BBC,Northern Ireland , 'young people rioting to clear drug debts'
Scummy barstewards. |
|
By:
Lol there they go again .. there should be no rioting
and no violence of any kind either from nationalists or loyalists that’s a matter for the police No preaching from republicans about rioting given their propensity for such Oh and wasn’t the threat of much worse violence used by scummy Sinn Fein IRA to stop the checks taking place .. in their rightful place , the south of Ireland or perhaps if that’s too much responsibility for them somewhere in France |
|
By:
Not before time.
Anything other than a sensible compromise from the EU will be unacceptable. |

"Kite-flying, wishful thinking by commentators and background briefing will not make the substantive changes needed to satisfy our seven tests and restore devolution."
Says our Parliamentary Chairman, Ian Paisley MP From twitter today. Heres hoping common sense has prevailed. |

By:
Is there not already long-standing customs checks between GB and NI even when UK was in EU - agricultural-related?
If its there already then the 'principle' the unionists are pontificating about is a bit silly to be honest. |
|
By:
^ yet again we get an example of the hypocrisy of nationalists
Don’t expect others to do what you won’t do yourselves , ie put custom checks their rightful place in south Ireland and the EU internal border . Oh and don’t threaten violence if any such attempt is made .. and then don’t have the gall to tell Unionists they are being a bit silly . The nationalist mind and its really is a marvel to behold |

NI businesses are doing better after staying in the Single Market than GB businesses are doing outside of it.
The only people who need major adjustments to the NI protocol are GB businesses who have lost markets in NI and the UK government and the Unionist politicians who find themselves completely banjaxed by the deal Boris Johnson freely negotiated, agreed to and signed. I just thought I'd inject a little reality into this fantasy thread. |
|
By:
It is best we stick to facts . Opponents of Brexit and Irish nationalists
have repeatedly claimed that the protocol has led to the NI economy out performing the rest of the U.K. In fact the evidence points in the opposite direction and that once the protocol came into force , in Jan 2021 , NI grew more slowly than in GB - by 5.5% from 2021 Q4 - 2022 Q2 compared to 7.5% in GB over the same period Other evidence also shows NI underperforming the rest of the UK as a whole since the start of 2021 Then there is the abundant evidence of additional costs imposed on NI businesses by the protocol imposing large administrative burdens on NIs trade with its largest trading partner to favour its trade with a much smaller partner the EU .. does not make any economic sense That is the reality despite the propaganda from those who are hostile to the UK |
|
By:
And of course if there are any benefits to the protocol
These will remain .. but also with the additional benefit of getting rid of administrative and other costs in trade between GB &NI So as usual noblet isn’t making much sense |
|
By:
I never mentioned violence (last time I checked the only violence / threatened violence was at the new EU checks).
The only thing I pointed out was having all this disruption to governing NI, was because of the 'principle' of having no checks between GB and NI - but there already was checks pre-Brexit. I was wrong, its not silly. Its pathetic. Time they grew up and faced a few realities instead of all this posturing to the detriment of their own people. |
|
By:
^ do you see how they wriggle
I didn’t say you mentioned violence - i had to remind you of the fact that the reason the customs checks are not being carried out where they should ie the the south of Ireland is because of the threat of violence Now it’s best you stop being silly and tried to be honest Wriggling like that is rather pathetic. |

By:
Lanark Way, the drug dealers paying the junkies,a fabricated threat of violence by those who are trying to do away with 25 years of peace with the GFA.

It really is baffling , nationalists refuse to accept customs checks — where they rightfully should be
And not a peep from the likes of wallflower And then when unionists object to customs checks where they should not be wallflower suddenly pipes up , lol |
|
By:
Okey doke
|
|
By:
F anny, and you have a few that think you are somewhat competent in your biased bull.
It really is baffling why the unionists are refusing to keep peace by trying to do away with the GFA |
|
By:
Lapsy if customs checks are ok - then do them in south Ireland
Or would you and Irish republicans not be happy with that ? If not whatever you might say on the matter is neither here nor there It’s just the usual hypocrisy , try not to do that |
|
By:
Yet more threats of violence.
|
|
By:
The latest lucid poll shows the unionists against peace as in the GFA,that is the facts, custom checks me hole.
