Tusk is behaving like a spoilt brat, because we have had the audacity to say we want out. If he was depending on re-election or was accountable to the electorate in any way he would be more cautious with his public outbursts. He is already behaving the way a dictator would, when disobeyed, only he still does not have absolute power, although this is what he and his cohorts are aiming for.

Cut the fella some slack.
We might be able to use his real skills on the Forth Bridge when the EU crashes and he loses his job.
He did quite an extensive apprenticeship bridge painting, at the behest of the Ruskies, apparently.

The process of removing the dye takes two forms. Firstly passing the diesel through kaolin clay (raw china clay). Secondly adding a form of acid to the diesel.

Both processes remove the dye. However the first also removed the oil and this wrecks the engine due to lack of lubricant. The second method means you are running acid through your engine, whereby also wrecking it.

Not that I am an expert in laundering diesel. :whistle:
You have to add a bottle of frytex to the washed diesel from the kaolin clay process to restore the lubricant. Not that i am an expert in diesel washing you understand !!!!

Same as Germany then ?? https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/15/business/germany-economy-slowdown/index.html

Or are we being selective of stories that "suit".....?

Don't confuse Germany's situation with the UK. The Germans run one of the biggest trade surpluses in the world and have done so for many years, it was around 280 billion for last year, something the UK could only ever dream about. What we need to do is to get them to spend more of it on goods and services from the UK and the rest of Europe as well.
 
I absolutely agree it's a threat to the union. But then I and other moderate unionists have always seen Paisley as such, right from the beginning.

We could be who we wanted, yes, fair enough. To a degree. It's safe for a Gaelic player to walk into a chippy in ballymoney in their strip. However, it's not safe for a rangers football fan to walk into a chippy in dunloy, as you'd know yourself. Things are not normal by a long way.

I do have to ask though. What Irishman living in Northern Ireland will feel any less Irish after Brexit? Do you see it actually having any effect in that regard? Will you feel less Irish? People will still come and go over the border and work on both sides. It could be a great anticlimax actually.
The example is comparing apples and bananas.
Someone wearing a Gealic top is as safe in Ballymoney as someone wearing a rugby top is in Dunloy.
However I wouldn't be keen to wear a Rangers top in Dunloy, but I'd be equally unwilling to wear a Celtic top in Aghoghill as neither situation would be particularly safe.
 
Why would we want a border?
Everything that comes from the EU is acceptable to our standards.
Doubt there would be an invasion of non UK people via Eire either.
I mean. Who wants to come to what will be a third world country post Brexit?
They're leaving in droves already. Aparently.
The UK is a soft touch where unemployment is encouraged, without a hard border, entry to the UK is as open to free movement as it has ever been and those of who voted for Brexit to restrict free movement will be made a fool of.

The DUP hardline Brexit solo run has petered out.
They once again as they did on the GF Agreement talks, have dug in, shouted the loudest and shouted their default catch phrase NO, NO, NO!!

All that’s left for them to do now, is try to conjure up a fig leaf to cover their modesty once BRINO is delivered by TM, on a take it or leave it basis.

The DUP in my opinion WILL buckle at the last minute.

I have a question for you, how are you going to "make them" spending into goods and service from UK, and why they should do it with UK and not with another nation in the EU that could provide more?
