Blah,blah, blah, meander. Funny, yet another diplomat who likes the sound of his own voice.

10 months until Brexit. How's it looking in your opinion?

On the one hand you have to feel sorry for the guy, nearly two decades of hard work building a business and his own govt have set fire to it, on the other hand maybe he is lucky, he knows what’s coming and how fudged up things are going to get, he can prepare for the worst because he knows it’s coming.

Very tough to build up a business again

Do you remember when people used to consider Ireland to be an insular, backward looking country on the edge of Europe?

Nope.

My wife is Irish, been over here years even though i keep telling her to fcuking go back.

 

[Baleforce]

Exit polls promising.

It’ll be nice to see someone not fudge up a referendum.

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

Personally i am for a womans right to decide.

A little disgusted to see the anti abortion side refuse to accept the result though, apparently a hairdresser who is anti abortion is taking them to court to have the result over turned. I guess it is true that no on wins a referendum, unless it goes the way of a liberal elite then everyone has to follow the fudging result.

Though me and my Irish wife live in England we still follow Irish politics as some of her family are over there. But with the Romanians making up the largest section of non brits in this country it is time to stop with the Irish politics getting on our news and more should be coming from Bucharest.

And yet it remains illegal in Northern Ireland, despite NI being part of the UK, because it is seen as a ‘health’ issue and health is a devolved matter.

Well it just got a little easier for NI residents. They can just drive down south now.

Thanks to our own little right wing turds at the DUP.

At least until March

Gay marriage is still illegal in Northern Ireland too.

Maybe us and Ireland should both hard border them in and let them fester in their hate by themselves

 

[Rorschach]

There will be no hard border. That much is certain.

 

[Gutter Boy]

There will, but not in Ireland. If the Torys weren't relying on the DUP, there'd already be a border poll being organised. As it is I can see it happening soon after the 2022 GE.

Sinn Fein have been calling for one today.

So, exciting times in Italy - Europe has just got its first ever libertarian-left government; despite a sinister last minute attempted coup by the EU.

Five Star's programme for government includes guaranteed minimum income, a first step towards universal basic income, and largely ditching all the EU's fiscal rules.

After Brexit, this really feels like the second domino in breaking the neo-liberal globalisation consensus

Oh yeah exciting times, the group that Gutter Boy is such a fanboy of... the Five Star Movement have just formed a coalition with the neo fascist Northern League. This is his great white political hope for the our future...no thanks.

 

[Baleforce]

In bed with avowed racists, what’s exciting about that?
