Oh ho ho, no it's not a no. There is little point in complaining about my experiences or success. One pearl of wisdom I will share, which is golden, is the serenity prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference" With that the thoughtful man can achieve a lot. Find similar individuals and you move mountains. I have achieved a lot I am proud of. You don't do it sitting on your arse moaning.

Oh Lord, what a whinge fest. The ills of the world are always someone elses fault with the brexiteer. Tell me Wilf, what have YOU done to change any of that in a productive, proactive, engaging way? I know plenty about crime and criminals, and in my business life I've changed Government policy to my benefit in the past couple of months. I don't need to beat my chest about it.

Oh there are indeed.

Similar problems all over the world Wilf.

Most interesting thing I've heard about this debacle lately, is Mike Pence' named in relation to Muellers investigations. Now that IS interesting, if the VP get's taken out before the aptly named above "Big Fart". Who is third in line? Jem'Hadar Ryan, Turkey neck McConnell?

I'd bet most posting on here are in that 1% and don't even realise it: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/050615/are-you-top-one-percent-world.asp And to add to the irony, I hear dumpTrumps tax cuts will mean his starving offspring inherit his massive/meager fortune tax free.

Ah, but who's democracy? Only the UK voted for brexit. There's no onus of the rest of us in the EU to solve brexit's many problems for the brexiteers. You're right on the commitment. But I'd caution on relying on a politicians promise. They are reliably unreliable. Other nations are, rightly, protecting their own interests. UK bought the problem by voting brexit. Leaving the solutions on the back on the UK seems reasonable to me.

C'mon now, ye all know the words at this stage

I heard a point made on radio here today, I think it was in relation to Norway. That it is not as clear as some say to just use the Norway model. Apparently Norway is a member of something called the Union of Scandinavian Countries (name could be different). So there may be another layer of international agreements applying there that would not already exist in the UK's case.

If you want to look into it, I don't believe the referendum has legal weight, it's a recommendation to government, not an order, if I remember right. HMG seem to disagree with you. The problem is that other countries have their interests and will represent them to the best of their ability. UK gov at least recognise that, and that if they wish to proceed into the future then shoving two fingers to all and sundry isn't in the UK's best interests. The era of gunboat diplomacy is long past.

It's obvious that interpretation of the vote didn't matter from day 1. It's also obvious the population of the UK don't believe in that option as in the subsequent ill considered election UKIP won how many seats in parliament?

Whichever causes the least disruption to all. As I said, empty vessels.

Good God, myself and An Taisce on the same side. I feel dirty all over.

It would seem to me taking the least damaging (in all aspects, social, economic, international relations) avenue is the most sensible course for the UK. I'm not for one second suggesting that's what they'll do mind you,, the monster raving loony party seems to have been reincarnated as the right wing of the Tory party. I don't feel there's an appetite within the EU to be overly accommodating alá it's Ireland's border therefore Ireland's problem, or they need us more than we need them type thinking. Hoisted on their own petard, and you broke it you bought it come to mind. I'm always wary of peo

Correct, so I did This is where I remenber his ignorance from: https://www.joe.ie/politics/jacob-rees-mogg-irish-political-situation-608416 In my defence it's difficult to keep up with Tory ignorance of the world outside the shires.

A guy who thinks a made up person Enda Kelly and a real Bertie Ahern were Taoiseach of Northern Ireland, a position that doesn't exist. ... Yeah ye'll go far with him alright

If he felt it'd stroke his ego he would.

Got to say my only link would be from watching cowboy films as a child! Looks like the natural sets will be whored out to the highest bidder to be ruined like the sprawl around the pyramids in Egypt. When will the first Trumpski brand golf course go in I wonder.

The reunification of Ireland has nothing to do with the border negotiations part of brexit. It's a trade issue, it really is that simple. There aren't hordes of villagers and suburbanites marching through the streets with blazing torches. The vast majority don't give a fig because basically there are too many societal and financial issues to make it an attractive notion in the cold light of day. You guys in the UK are getting some really bad info on Irish politics from the likes of Jacob Rees Mog. What he said during the week about the motion of no confidence int he Taniste was close to 1
