    I think that is fairly obvious.

    Nope, come on. If you want to make accusations have the balls to give names.

    If the EU and Ireland don't want border controls, simply give us a generous trade deal. No controls needed. See how easy it is.

    Balls in EU court.

    That's what they've offered. No border controls if single market and customs union.

    We are leaving the EU at 11 pm 29th March 2019 - deal or no deal.

    It's going to be enshrined in law.

    First day out of the EU is April 1st. Why does anyone think that's a good idea?
    News will be unwatchable all day because noone will be able to tell what's true or not.

    I'm not saying it's unfair just if they have no intention of budging we might as we'll just stop now.
    Like you I hope there is a deal which is of benefit to both sides and still think there is a good chance that there will be, but in appears to me that some people on here are so entrenched in their view that it looks like they are hoping it does fail, I'm not sure saying I told you so if everything goes tits up will be that satisfying.

    Why should the EU be the ones to budge?

    I'd love it to not fail miserably but I know enough about politics and trade to realise that's essentially impossible.

    The only saving grace of the inevitable disaster is that it'll accelerate re-entry into the EU, rather than have us endure a drawn out contraction

    We have now it's up to them to tell us exactly what they want, I'm sure we will up our offer I'm not sure EU will reduce theirs.

    But I think you have just proved my earlier post wright.

    I also think full access to free market is highly unlikely but it would be in both sides interest to come to an arrangement.

    I'm not sure you get your re-entry especially if we have to accept the Euro and lose rebate.

    You're being deliberately obtuse.
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    Whatever ones view on Brexit. The reality of one Europe that works for everyone appears to be becoming an ever distant vision.
