An ignorant English wanker lecturing the Irish about their history. Why do they keep giving that twat oxygen?

RTE are gobshites for giving him any air time in the first place.
That's amazing, a british nationalist paid to say an irish republican slogan and he seemingly didn't realize until it was too late or he has money issues.
PS: calling him a british nationalist is accurate?
Because he’s going around still mouthing about IRExit
If you give him £87 maybe he'll announce publicly: "Farage is a turd that won't flush."

Latest UK government innovation - can't get food - eat cardboard.
As the latest tiny trade deal with NZ had sort of gone under the radar because it makes the Uk worse off, have they discovered any other Commonwealth countries, thousands of miles away, who can take advantage of the UK government's desperation.

I wish they'd asked those farmers if they voted for Brexit.
Good woman.
Truss was slaughtered
The UK must be the only country in history that negotiate to become worse off.
Having negotiated with the EU to have an awful deal compared to what they had being a member.
Then the rollover deals which they negotiated to be worse than when they were in the EU. Not all of them have been rolled over yet either.
Possible Aus and NZ deals which they'd be better off without as it hurts UK industry.
Then Frost is trying to negotiate to make Northern Ireland lose the benefits they have that GB doesn't.
In the unlikely event that the UK ever negotiate a deal with the USA, with whom they currently have a trade surplus place your bets on the outcome of that negotiation.
Anyway, wave a flag!

They at least got them to voice some criticism of the NZ PM with nothing about the UK one.
Naughty France. Having to have their Ambassador summoned by Liz Truss for a slap on the wrist over fishing.
I am sure that Liz will tell the Ambassador off for expecting the UK actually honour its Brexit obligations.

The UK government are desperately looking for a distraction. Something to get the flag-waving nationalists going.
January 1st is looming and the rules of origin become more onerous.
Tories realise there are no beneficial trade deals to be done.
Flag waving and the ridiculous freeports scheme is all that's left.
I was looking to buy something from the UK via ebay yesterday. Import duties were over 200 euros, which was half the price of the item!
It's bonkers.
It's bonkers.
Yeah I’ve stopped using U.K. suppliers on Amazon. It’s just too expensive.
lots of U.K. business now feeling the pain I’d say

Brexit: UK-EU row over Northern Ireland escalates

Ireland is our friend out here, geebs. I can still get supplies of Cadbury's chocolate from Ireland!
Yay! Can’t be going long without Cadbury’s!
Trump tactics continue. Get all the plebs watching you bluff around one thing whilst another blunders on
It's fine because we've got an amazing new deal with the US, along with every other nation in the world, that is miles better than any trade deals we had when we were part of the EU.
.....right?!
Here is a mainsteam journalist spreading disinformation in favour of the PM. Most interpreters with french as their language have stated what the letter states.

Brexiteers lying!? Who would have thought.
So, trying to summarize:
-More than 6 years ago, the party in power was afraid of losing the election due to the relative growth of a minor "fringe" political party in Northern Ireland.
-Therefore, the PM at the time thought a good way to appease them was throwing them a bone: in this case, a Brexit referendum. The gig worked and the party held the majority and won the election.
-One year later, the Brexit referendum spinned out of control, with blatant lies and disinformation running rampant and even an MP killed during the campaign. With nobody on the breaks and on the birth of a new kind of election to which nobody was prepared for, Brexit won by a very small margin.
-Having spectacularly miscalculated the effects of his move, the strongly anti Brexit PM makes a last act of cowardice and resigns, leaving a path for the pro Brexit faction of the party to ascend to power.
-A new PM arrives, and it somehow manages to make the situation worse: her Brexit proposals get rejected 3 times and the party loses their majority in general elections, forcing them to reinforce their suicide pact with the fringe Brexit parties. In the meantime she puts in motion all the legal arrangements that make Brexit inevitable, and gets rewarded by being forced to resign in favor of the more extreme, pro Brexit side of the party.
-Finally a new openly pro Brexit PM arrives, and even though the UK is halfway through the deadline to make Brexit work, he decides to go all out on no deal, aggressively refusing to do anything similar to a somewhat organized transition process and therefore losing the good faith of his counterparts in the negotiation and the trust of the international community. Nevertheless, these actions are interpreted internally as the ones of a strong leader fighting for his country, and he wins the elections in a landslide paving the way for a chaotic no deal Brexit.
-Prior to the elections, the opposition got a window of opportunity (graciously handed by the new PM's ineptitude in trying to close the parlament) of getting together, get the ruling party out and starting to dismantle the Brexit process or at least to mitigate the most damaging parts of it. They failed miserably in the first task, the "get together" one, and therefore secured their place in history as accomplices by incompetence.
-Less than one month before the deadline and after selling for years the idea of a no deal the PM shows a surprise eleventh hour deal, with shortcomings instantly visible to anyone willing to read it. Anyway, that doesn't stop the PM from exaggerately praising the deal and calling Brexit complete (the Brexit minister position surprisingly keeps existing though).
-Approximately 6 months into Brexit, when the damage done has become pretty clear, the PM and his staff start reneging on the deal they just signed and congratulated themselves on, blaming the opposition in the process. He also threatened to break international agreements over the irish border, after failing to put protocols in place that everyone knew were neccesary 5 years ago. These issues have also halted any options of a quick deal with the US, making the problem even worse.
-10 months after Brexit the current PM has nowhere to go (except for continuing escalating the conflict with his main partners), the 2 previous ones are MIA (one wrote a book I think) and the fringe party that started it all has returned to his usual irrelevant place in UK elections. The ruling party looks comfortable though.

If Labour win the next election (which is likely now right, whomever the leader is?) could they undo Brexit and rejoin the EU without needing to ask us plebs?
In fact, with all the hurt our xenophobic manufacturers, workers, farmers, fishermen are going to face in the next couple of years, would it be the perfect election winning manifesto?

I used to trade a lot of collectibles with british collectors but just had to stop. Even when marked as "gifts" I still have to pay custom fees for everything that comes from the UK. One of them made a living out of selling football collectibles to european collectors and had to close it because the prices were no longer competitive. He hates brexiters.
Aren't labour as brexity as the other party which is how Corbyn became popular?
It's just another example of the gift that keeps on giving.

Not really although sort of and definitely no.
Exactly, they will dance to any tune. If they have any sense, surely must be a minimal amount, then that's the way to proceed. Corbyn and the backbenchers were just trying to get with the 'In Crowd'. It just so happens Brexit was the shiny toy everyone wanted. Now it's a shit sandwich nobody wants to eat (but has to).
It’s too late
The U.K. has gone bonkers
Jesus Christ
. I spose brexiteers do have a serious stockpile of salt to divvy out, if nothing else.
Isn't that just standard food labelling for goods sold in the EU though? Not some Brexit hyperbole. Pretty sure since around the first quarter of 2020 they changed some of the food labelling requirements for goods sold in the EU where if you couldn't identify you country of origin as being inside of the EU as to put it as 'Non-EU'.
The Cadbury's chocolate made in Ireland is known to be nicer anyway.
Morrison’s have just tweeted that it’s a mistake and would be fixed immediately
I get the PR response, but having a quick look at the requirements suggested this
Doesn't really insinuate that it's some Brexit chest beating nonsense from Morrison's which the original tweet (it's always the flag emoji sorts with the hyperbole) was intimating.
