Johnston actually thinks the world will revolve him and the U.K. , the reality is the uk are a dot revolving around the world . By the time they cop this it will be too late , but I don't think it will come to that , by November brexit will be history as it won't happen and the U.K. / blonde clown will be going around with their tail between their legs wondering what the fu.k they have been doing destroying their own economy for over the last two years.
I think the UK will pull out of the EU with or without a deal, if they pull out with no deal we will then see which side of the debate is correct, the ones predicting a financial disaster or those that are living in a Utopian dream.

I don’t think either will be true won’t be a disaster or it won’t be like living in some sort of dream

Can anybody tell me why the eu was setup in the first place?
United we stand divided we fall, there is strength in numbers , when the eu got together for peace and business reasons after ww2. The eu countries could then protect themselves from the rest of the world . It has worked great and all eu countries have become very prosperous compared to before the eu started, or the rest of the world , the eu has on average the highest standard of living in the world. And now the uk want to go it alone again.

Ireland has now paid £358 million (€428 million) in interest to the UK on a crisis loan it gave to the State in 2010. A total of £3.2 billion was lent by the UK to the Republic as part of an international rescue package of the State's collapsing economy.

And are you or the more sensible folk in Ireland grateful? And do you want us to take your beef and dairy produce after we leave with no deal?

And what would you do if we played really dirty, and blocked all our TV programmes from reaching the Republic? :sneaky:

Drop the back stop or were not even talking to you?

Is that a threat or a simple assessment?

Go back a 1000 yrs in history and England plundered their way around the world , taking control of countries and bringing home all the valuables they could to the kingdom. That day is thankfully gone but a big blond clown still thinks he can bully his way around Europe , somebody needs to tell him that England can't repeat history.

England/ The UK, know what imperialism looks like. They recognise it in the EU.
We can stop history repeating.

Keep your television programs, and as for beef if you stop buying our grass fed beef and replace it with American hormoned beef that's your problem , it's you that will have muscles like popeye after eating it , and when tesco stop stocking all their shelves with uk produced produce here that will impact on you , and when you can't export your lamb to France what are you going to do with all the lamb meat . And I in my own business send over a million a year to the uk which we can get around if we have to and import from other countries instead what will you do , we're still in the eu and the big market , your ruling yourself out of this market and are delighted with all the trade deal offers your getting , then read the small print on these offers and cop on that what they are doing is replacing your products with cheaper products produced world wide , costing the uk hundreds of thousands of jobs , over 100,000 uk based jobs have already moved to Ireland . Why is there a massive que of uk born people queuing up in Dublin waiting for an Irish passport , because they want out before the rush.

What makes you exceptional in that you can 'get around' sending a million a year to the UK but nobody in the the UK can 'get around' exporting?
