Congratulations.

You're the first.

Getting excuses in early for if/when it goes tits up..?

"It's Theresa May/Phillip Hammond/Gina Miller/Ken Clarke/Keith Harris and Cuddles the Monkey's fault - we'd have been out three years and all driving solid gold Bentleys if it wasn't for them..."

Whinge, bleat and repeat then blame everyone else.

Kiss my posterior. We have been saying for years now that obstruction and interference have hampered what should have been completed many moons ago. Undeniable but Boris will soon put that right - come what may.

'Solid gold Bentleys'? You're an imbecile.

I note all the doom mongers focusing on sterling don't mention other currencies falling in value. The Aussie dollar his hit a 3.5 year low. Brexit has a lot to answer for:roll:

Get it done Boris lad. It will seem like no time at all until the doom mongers and naysayers will have to find something else to attach their 'end is nigh' predictions. Probably climate change?

I see there’s signs going up in certain parts of our capital warning people not have a shit in the streets.

What on earth is happening ?

I once parked up in a side street in town waiting for MrsD. A woman in a burka squatted down in a corner , hitched up her clothing up and had a piss and a shit.

Perhaps it's just another of those "cultuaral differences" which we get asked to embrace.

Does that mean Khan will have to stay in his office?

You either believe those who say it does, or those who say it doesn't.

Your choice.

For me, it makes sense to believe those who say it does. Get it sorted and clear the impasse.

As always the EU will find a compromise when it suits, and given the Irish banks recent future forecasts if we leave without a deal they’d better find one fast,  Varadkars political manoeuvring and backing the EU in an attempt to pressure the U.K. and to try to use the Brexit situation to unite Ireland will spectacularly back fire and that is now becoming apparent that Ireland have backed the wrong pony.

So the lies of the Brexiteers have once again been confirmed. But funny how whilst the BBC should be commended for doing this - they don't make anything of it. Should be headline news this.

Anyone who claims Brexiteers were clear about no deal before the referendum is lying - and that is now a fact.

I once saw a bloke having a shit on the side of the dual carriage way next to the Ricoh Arena, in broad daylight, I've been bursting for a cack loads of times, but never felt the need to go in the street.

I really do get that. The problem is, that those who say it does exist, can never show how it will work, or give further details......it's like it's a secret, and they don't want anybody to know about it

Exactly the best way to prove it exists is to show us the damn thing. 

Unless that's what they keep in area 51

He runs rings round you, pal. The best thing is you never get when he’s taking the piss out of you.

Unfortunately so mate. Germany has had a bad week so far. Firstly the sexual culture classes, then the poor child killed when he was pushed in front of a train by an immigrant who was once a poster boy for successful immigration (couldn’t script this shit),  then the horrific hacking to death of a bloke the other day, in broad daylight by a Syrian with a ceremonial sword.

I must be racist for stating pure facts which has caused great concern in Germany this week.

dont think he is, and its not about backing any pony, Ireland is in the EU and so thats to be expected, but, a no deal brexit would give more credence to a border poll, that could lead to a United Ireland than anything Varadker, or the Irish government of any persuasion could do.

What's to show exactly? Some bar codes, labels, computers, scanners etc.

I've not a clue.

However, when a chap who is employed in the customs sector, says the technology is there then it'll do for me.

He did say that it was down to the politicians to decide how exactly it is to be used, he mentioned mobile checking units for example.

And therein is the issue. Those at the top, for whatever reason, refusing to get it properly sorted and introduced. Completely lacking pragmatism.

I dare say it would take time to get it up and running effectively, but if you never start the process it won't happen.

True.

Sadly, those who say the technology exists, aren't willing to give examples or show how it might work, in order to shut those up who say the technology doesn't exist. Surely, if it does already, they can silence the doubters within seconds, but so far in 3 years, they've not managed to do so.......hence the suspicion by many, that there isn't the technology available as of yet

 

Sure the technology exists for checking stuff coming into or out of a warehouse or bonded area such as a port, but across an entire, unpoliced, land border I'm not so sure.

Maybe manufacturers would be reluctant just to publicise something without an agreement to buy the stuff from government.

Would you want to give competitors any advantage unnecessarily?

Perhaps but to keep saying it exists and no more is going to raise doubts in people's minds, especially over such an important issue that's make or break for a deal

Technology for border crossings exists no doubt, people can point to Switzerland Sweden Canada America for proof 

however , that isn’t suitable for the border area in Ireland for various reasons. 

All the above examples use ‘technology ‘ but still need an infrastructure at the point of crossing.thats the issue with the technology, it’s not invisible

They are pure facts. Just cherry picked ones.

Like this one - which you missed.

Aye. That's what the chap said yonks ago. It does exist, but wanted to know how it was to be used. He suggested an example of a mobile system for checking away from the border. No doubt modification may be needed etc, but until it's actually a government/EU request to properly sort it, it won't come to fruition.

Thanks to tens of thousands of experts. The type of people you now refer to as 'scaremongerers'.

Ok my Dutch Detective, that’s one from last month.

Shall I upload every attack since then committed by the Islamic Extremists ?

This would be a million page thread with those crimes.

Like ISIS, you won’t win son.
