Can you prove the EU forced the UK to disband the MMB?
Strange the EU did that while they them selves have, in some countries so we are told similar monoploy buyer situations.

In reply to homesy
That's just nonsense. Ireland has never been more prosperous than now. Agriculture has regressed since the 80's but even still my standard of living is far better than my parents was. Europe has been good and is good for Ireland and all. And this thing about how we'll all be in a European army? History has thought us that independent governments have never had a problem sending their people to war so nothing changes there. That's getting away from a farming thread but just look at the people who want brexit, the likes of Boris and his privileged ilk, and the people who read the Sun. I wouldn't let any of them mind my dog never mind lead me to this new utopia you're dreaming of.

Can you please show us some facts about your claim of us having to accept the euro instead of the pound and where you got this fact from and all the other bits you put in that sentence please as that comes across as though you have read the Brexit propaganda booklets and believe every word in them without questioning any of it.
Also you said about an economic downturn, can you please expand on this and tell us what you see an acceptable amount of downturn to free us of the eu.

But you don't say how they were/are holding it back.
Well that's all down to administration. Ours had ice crystals. I bet at the end of the day you appreciated that it was there free of charge.
That said, clearly we are going to leave the EU without a deal. The BREXIT secretary said on the Andrew Marr show it was highly likely and that it was not a problem under WTO rules.
Frankly what I want to see is Mrs May symbolically tearing up a cheque for GB Pound 39 billion at the Tory party conference. That will put Tusk and Juncker properly in their place.

Anybody else really really tired of both sides in the Brexit debate and what it means?Nobody knows anything concrete,yet everybody gets really shouty jumping up and down saying listen to me and my OPINION it’s the only correct one in town.
It’s dull, dispiriting devicive and pointless.
We all have lives outside of this hyperbole how about trying to enjoy them until we know some you know actual facts

H'm, well thought out reply there, I assume you can't prove what you say.
There are a few people on here complaining about aggressive posting, you are an aggressive poster.
Maybe you are a bully or just can't handle an opinion that differs from your own, I don't know or care?
But if you'd like to have a trip up north some time, I will take pleasure in teaching you the manners your mother (if you know who she is) should have.

Whilst I quite enjoy the soap opera that is Brexit this thread has proved that even the the dairy section posters will let themselves down

I call it polarisation nobodies listening their just shouting loader. and its not just Brexit you see it in politics all over the world more and more extreme ideas at each end of the spectrum with no meeting in the middle. its very frightening.
Brexit.....leaves us with a lot of unanswered questions. But a couple of points are that the dairy industry will be able to withstand Brexit. And the dairy industry in the republic of Ireland will suffer badly in a no deal situation as they export so much to GB. It would make sense for ROI to leave the EU and form a trade partnership with GB in many fronts but given the political histories of the two countries it would be unlikely to happen.

Dairy industry in Ireland will suffer for sure if it's a hard brexit but I still see a deal being done. What happens if there's no deal and food price inflation starts hitting consumers? Will northern Ireland and Scotland who both voted to remain, still want to be part of the UK? So I can't see Ireland leaving the bigger European and world markets so as to keep the English market.

The subject was debated on here not long ago and one poster said the dairy trade in the uk had the ear of Thatcher, and it was her desire to see the MMB dissolved.
Europe was still blamed though, sound familiar?
Lets see your evidence please!
