The best kind of smokescreen for the conservatives to carry on selling out the UK, lock stock and barrel.
Idiot fisherman will fish till there are no fish unless controlled.Yeah, I think it's partly that. Boris throwing a dead cat onto the table. But it does sound like Macron is doing the same sort of thing - he has a similar agenda of his own with regard to France, it seems. Blockading part of a country and cutting off its electricity supply seems provocative to say the least. Lord knows what naval vessels are supposed to do when they get there, though.
I don't really understand the fishing issue at all. It's a kind of licenced pillaging, it seems. But it doesn't seem like the EU has done a great job of managing fish stocks. I've never been much of a fish-eater, and when I hear that fish is good for you and decide maybe I should eat more of it, I discover the rest of you have already eaten it all.
LoL we want to renegotiate qhenever we feel like it. Great plan.
The EU subsidized the crap out of Ireland for many years, creating the “Emerald Tiger “. Once the Irish economy was in good shape, the EU moved the subsidies to Eastern Europe and the multinationals that milked the subsidies in Ireland packed up and moved east.wouldnt it be fucking awesome if Europe started backing Ireland and shit all over England?
Err Cameron is a Conservative cvnt.I want this thread to stand as a reminder that Conservatives are utterly incapable of learning from their mistakes. Even with a turd like Brexit, the idiots who pushed for it will never admit they were wrong. David Cameron (Labour?) can call it his greatest regret not even 2 years later, but the Boris wing and the Reformers and UKIPs will always believe their ideology was sound.
The Irish government has to be thinking about this very hard. If they close the border to protect their position in the EU, it destabilizes the peace agreement in occupied Ulster. If they leave the border open to British goods they can make bank on transshipment of said goods to the rest of the EU. What to do, what to do.
