I'm hopeful the border arrangements with Ireland will remain unchanged.

It took many years and cost many lives to get to where we are at now.

The Irish prime minister, Leo Varadkar, has said he does not want an economic border between Britain and Ireland.

I still think we are staying and the whole thing was a lie. :yep:

I hope it isn't the case but I can see the UK simply walking away if May believes she has a majority in Westminster to see her through the process.

That could play right into Labour's hands and force a vote of no confidence in the government.

In the meantime, the new leader of that large and powerful political party the LibDems, has stated that he believes the older generation have 'shafted' the younger generation over the Brexit votr.

Quote:

Older people who voted for Brexit have "comprehensively shafted the young", Sir Vince Cable has said.
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, the Lib Dem leader accused the over-65s of being "self-declared martyrs" who claim leaving the EU is worth the cost.
"The martyrdom of the old comes cheap," he said, as fewer have jobs to lose and living standards are protected by the triple lock on pensions.
"For the Brexit martyrs, paradise beckons," he added.

Most strange because I was of the understanding the referendum allowed equality in giving everyone the same single vote :hmmm:

Of course, it is common knowledge that the elderly generally get to the voting stations to exercise their voting rights whilst a considerable number of the younger generation usually can't be bothered....so who's fault is that then?

Right on jim, I recall the young at the Glastonbury festival were moaning and groaning at the result the day after. Well excuse me you bunch of slobs who felt partying it up and rolling around in the mud was far more important too you than voting to remain. The fault lays with them so....SHUT UP YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO VOTE AND YOU BLEW IT!

As for VC clearly doing a JC copy cat and sucking up to the young.

Problem there is that Corbyn is for Brexit and he doesn't have widespread support from his MPs.

Nah, I don't believe the British voter is gullible enough to believe the magic fixes promised are actually affordable.
