I hear the nameless one is sitting on the fence so no change there.
Who is watching the supreme court case anyone? Everyone I know is sick and tired not able to tune into the news for news as this junk is dominating the agenda. I'm bloody sick of this garbage being milked by the BBC News and SKY. I'm not bloody watching RT sod that.

The Good Friday Agreement says: CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES 1. The participants endorse the commitment made by the British and Irish Governments that, in a new British-Irish Agreement replacing the Anglo-Irish Agreement, they will: (i) recognise the legitimacy of whatever choice is freely exercised by a majority of the people of Northern Ireland with regard to its status, whether they prefer to continue to support the Union with Great Britain or a sovereign united Ireland; (ii) recognise that it is for the people of the island of Ireland alone, by agreement between the two parts respectively and without external impediment, to exercise their right of self-determination on the basis of consent, freely and concurrently given, North and South, to bring about a united Ireland, if that is their wish, accepting that this right must be achieved and exercised with and subject to the agreement and consent of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland;

I don't know Markus. But if the GFA puts the people of NI in a position that lets them control a possible unification process, the dependency on a permission by Westminster would render the whole agreement pointless.
The population shift towards a catholic majority in NI, the economic figures of NI compared to the republic and the missing subsidiary EU money after the Brexit has taken place will fuel the debate about NI leaving the UK. That's for sure.

Oh yes... maybe it would be better for all Africans to paint themselves white, so there can be no discrimination.. oh wait ... i guess it is better if all humans paint themselves blue!

Definition of empire (Entry 1 of 2) 1a(1): a major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority especially : one having an emperor as chief of state Its very simple, Empires/Institutions/Unions/call them what you will) which plan for virtually unlimited expansion (like the EU) All go 'pop' an some point. Ill say again, Nations have only survive because they are held together by language, culture and history - Not by lawmakers, politicians and economics. The EU only has the latter 3 to prop it up.

US, Russia, China and India are still there, though we did shrink some ways in the past three decades.
And this is his point I think - he seems to desire to form EU into a proper sovereign (con?)federative state out of nation-states of Europe, not just an alliance or trade block.

That is their desire eventually. Though i doubt it will ever be fully realised. Far too ambitious and too many obsticals.
..... And thank god for that, because it would be terrible system of government. If the Eu was a games publisher it would be EA. |

Boris needs to put up or shut up. I'm still of the opinion we will not leave but like so many others I am also sick and tired of this whole mess.

Are yes I recall the mad dash back to Scotland to prevent Scottish independence. This will give the old fish wife ammo. Doggy Dave you do realise what you have done by telling the world don't you. Conversations between the PM and the Queen are strictly private.
