NI Protocol - Windsor Framework

Do you agree with his description of what he believes NI now has or not?
Rishi is only repeating the same nonsense as Boris Johnson.
His assertions would only be valid if he removes the hard border in the Irish sea.
While this hard border remains there will be instability and no progress.
 
Logic dictates that it should be between N. Ireland and the Irish Republic.

There's no such thing as logic when it comes to dealing with these issues.

Which reminds me, when I was a kid, I found it really strange that Northern Ireland and the Republic each had football teams, but there was just one combined rugby team, that represented both.

To be replaced by a hard border between NI and the Republic. Sunack's version is a watered down NI protocol, the only question is whether the DUP have the appetite for more negativity and damage to their country. May's idea of a UK wide trade deal was the most sensible one.

Blup
 
The most sensible solution is to abolish all borders and to have free movement of goods and services between Britain and Ireland both North to South and East to West.

If the British government and the Unionists don't want a hard border between North and South, who, in your opinion wil erect this hard border

So you want a time machine; and create a worm hole in the space time continuum that takes us all into the Hippy Utopia of the 60s?
Interestinnnnnng:unsure:
 
Actually, Russia started a war by invading its neighbour.

Glad I was able to help you
Actually, the war started in 2014 because the legitimate government of Ukraine was overthrown when it changed its mind about trade deal with the EU.

Glad i was able to help you.

So Vlad the invader has been on the march for almost 10 years? What an utter shambles, tinpot dictator with a tinpot army and a tinpot economy. Laughable....

The government voted to oust their president as he was ignoring their wishes and that of the public.

Was Boris's resignation a coup too?

Actually the most sensible solution is for the whole of the UK to rejoin the EU...

Although of course you forgot to add 'free movement of people'...

Which is of course in the Good Friday agreement as regards the Island of Ireland...

But of course xenophobic/racist brexiteers in England/Wales voted against EU membership because of their irrational fear about freedom of movement of people!
 
Pointing out that a disproportionate number of brexit voters were in the older age group, and that the party they tend to vote for is dismantling the NHS is a fact...
No, I was pointing out yet another of your hypocritical posts. Your ageist "every cloud has a silver (greying) lining" posts make me think of some kind of perverted ghoul sitting alone indoors rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of elderly people dying whilst being completely unaware of your own impending mortality. You must be a very lonely and friendless person.

What would be your attitude be to an elderly Brexit voter wishing death on those younger than them solely because they voted remain?

As usual you've got things a*se about face...

Maybe you could tell us why the Ukranians have as a country so far have held back a far bigger army if they believe a so called 'legitimate government' was overthrown?

But hey, you appear to be a putin apologist who doesn't yet realise it...

Glad I was able to help you :)
 
“If it’s true what they’re saying on TV, I’m all for it,” said Cliff Moore, 58. “But I’ve not read it and I need to hear straight talking.” Moore did not trust Sunak and was waiting to hear the verdict of unionist leaders.
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, the DUP leader, had withheld judgment pending study of the text. Jim Allister, leader of Traditional Unionist Voice, a smaller, hardline rival of the DUP, had declared the deal a lot of spin that did not justify restoring the Stormont assembly and executive.
That seemed to sway Moore. “I’d like them to get back around the table [at Stormont] for everyone’s sake. But I’d take Jim’s word for it. He wouldn’t tell me lies.”

The Royal bar, however, hosted a lively debate between some customers. Stanley Duncan, 87, said unionists and loyalists should embrace the deal. “It’s the only one we’ll get. There is nothing else.” If the DUP rejected the compromise, Stormont, which has been mothballed since last year, may never revive, said Duncan.
A 66-year-old customer, who gave his name only as Stephen, said unionists should take time to study the text but he was leaning towards rejection. A reduced role for the European court of justice still left a role, and that meant an alien presence in this corner of the UK, he said. “We are British, not Irish, not semi-Irish.”
He cited another reason to not revive Stormont: the prospect of Sinn Féin’s Michelle O’Neill becoming first minister. “Can you imagine that? Can’t happen.”

Another article quotes Westminster MPs saying the DUP will have to suck it up and sign on to the deal, eventually.
