With the greatest respect to N.I. we cannot allow a small minority group to be the cause of stopping Brexit happening. I personally think they did okay out of the deal. I'm also pretty sure that should there ever be a vote for unification with S.Ireland, the DUP would be in for a shock.
The DUP's whinge that they have been thrown to the wolves does not hold water.
I'd love to see Northern Ireland to reunite with Eire.

We have had the best part of 100 years with this millstone hanging around our necks.

The Irish really enjoy fighting each other, so why not just leave them to it. If they are united and no longer tied to the UK, they will have no excuse for attacking us. The IRA will have lost any raison d'etre, though I'm sure they'd find something to complain about and some reason to plant their bombs.

1. Climate neutral by 2050 - 55% by 2030
2. EU Climate Law
3. 1 Trillion Euros of investment in the next 10 years paid for by the member states
4. A Capital Markets Union (holy shit balls !)
5. An EU minimum wage !!!
6. Unemployment reassurance scheme
7. Save the lives of immigrants coming to Europe - guess what this means ???
8. Common Asylum Policy (see number 7)
9. EU Coastguard !!! - for what ????
10. Increase number of foreign policy decisions by QMV (listen to the booing by the MEPs)

etc

I bet the remainers knew they were voting for all of that in the referendum

NOT !
No. 7. Yes, I'm sure I know what that will result in.
They will make use of the UK as a dumping ground for all illegal immigrants - well, they pretty much do that now anyway.

Yeah I got bored with it after about 40 minutes of Dear Leader waffling on about how she is going to spend everyone else money.

Typical dictator.

but they aren't burning coal .... well, not much anyway as they are being phased out. We have some of the worlds biggest renewal energy power generation here in the UK.

How are your German masters carbon neutral efforts going ? Going well are they ?



I take it your not prepared to switch your laptop off then in order to save the planet ??? How about that factory ship hoovering up thousands of tonnes of fish and polluting the world with its huge diesel engines, destroying fish stocks, wildlife, plants etc as it smokes its way through our territorial waters ?

We didn't burn coal - not for weeks, anyway ...

Here you are ..

The top 20 nations with the highest CO2 emissions are:

China
United States
European Union
India
Russia
Japan
Germany
South Korea
Iran
Saudi Arabia
Canada
Indonesia
Mexico
Brazil
South Africa
Turkey
Australia
United Kingdom
Three way tie:

But there again, I couldn't give a shit about climate change anyway, its just an excuse by rich people to go and tax poor people more.
