I was delighted with what Tusk said .... not that I am saying I'm delighted with everything that he says etc.
It's long past time that this fiasco with BREXIT was called out for exactly what it is, with those who have caused it help to account etc.
So far I heard the following from UK politicians:
Given the above, does any reasonable person not see why Ireland is so reluctant to trust the UK position that everything will be ok on the night with regard to the Good Friday Agreement. An agreement that they designed, co-signed and are obligated to protect. And we still have a Northern Ireland secretary who didn't know Unionists and Nationalists didn't vote for each other or a politician who thinks Ireland can be united anytime the people in the South decide it. I love England and I have English family and friends but Brexit has brought out the worst in the very many little Englanders who are free to spout their ill-informed, xenophobic, racist views under the Brexit banner. Tusk is right about the people who have been plotting Brexit and peddling lies for years.
- We can use food shortages as leverage to get Ireland to drop the backstop
- Well I haven't read the Good Friday Agreement. It is 35 pages after all (Dominic Rabb)
- There was never a hard border in Ireland (Arlene Foster)
- I didn't know that Nationalists and Unionists didn't vote for each other. (Karen Brady (NORTHERN IRELAND SECRETARY)
- English people are entitled to an Irish Passport and Irish people are entitled to an British passport (Andrew Bridgen Tory MP)
I'm not sure what is ment by, pan nationalist front, but if calling out the irresponsible and quite idiotic position the British government puts forward as a plan then I must be part of it. I too remember Northern Ireland's old days and with time most of the old fanatics like Sammy Wilson and co will just retire and die and that's a good thing because there has being a change going on in the north and it has being leaving these cretins behind.

It's a few hours quicker to use the landbridge, especially if heading towards mid-Europe.question on what leo above said "
MP Priti Patel suggested they could prevent the use of the UK as a landbridge for food supplies to Ireland, and should use that threat in negotiations."
some stuff is coming into uk from europe then from uk to us ,so why won't we get it direct from europe instead ,what am i missing here?
Yes it would take nearly an extra day to not use the landbridge due to a combination of tacograph and capacity issues at rosslare.It's a few hours quicker to use the landbridge, especially if heading towards mid-Europe.
I think it also works better for the driver's tacograph recordings from what I've heard

I though that most of the UK's supply came from the mainland, particularly Holland and Belgium.This could also be a very serious issue for radioisotopes used in medical imaging here. All our supplies come via the UK, and due to the short half-life, any further delays could mean problems.
