Hi
The only thing I object to is the Irish Border issue.
It is absolutely naff all to do with the EU, it is a matter between two sovereign nations.
We were idiots to agree to it being resolved before any Trade talks.
What is done is done, we cannot go back.
What we can do is explain in very simple terms to Leo, is what a Hard Brexit will mean.
We are not having the tail wagging the dog, we will not be blackmailed.
No Deal, which he is threatening the UK with if we do not agree with his demands means this.
It means a total hard border between North and South.
It means the end of the Common Travel Area.
It means no Irish Fishing Vessels in UK Waters.
It means no Irish Exports travelling through the UK, you can go the long way round.
It means Non Tariff barriers on Irish products, perfectly allowable under WTO Rules.
It will Passports and Visas for every Irish Citizen who wishes to travel to the UK.
It will mean no Irish Butter, Cheese or Meat to the UK, your biggest market.
It will mean no cross border medical treatment.
You can build your own Cancer Hospital.
Leo simply cannot survive this, it will destroy Ireland.
He needs to back off or be deposed.
The threats of the IRA returning?
His problem, not ours.
We do not give in to terrorists.
The rest of the negotiations?
I absolutely disagree with you Moscow.
Welcome to the real world.
We have decided to leave a huge Trading Block.
We are being treated as a Country seeking a Trade Agreement.
I am not surprised by that
It was our decision to leave, the EU have done their sums, their job now is to look after the EU, not the UK.
No deal would be financially better for them than a Free Trade Agreement.
Our plans for Free Trade Agreements replicated when we part of the EU have been shattered, formal objections already been lodged, including the USA.
We have been dismissed by India.
Such is life.
