The funny thing is that you don't say such things about the real AE's like who's that and ridged toast from what I've read on here.

That's thrown him right off the scent.

Don't take it to heart wunferall.
On days like today where nothing has gone right for them, such distractions, accusations and nastiness are all some remainers have left to fall back upon.

More to prove the doubters wrong here:

London named Europe’s 
top performing city in study

London has topped an influential Europe-wide study of top-performing cities - with the UK claiming three spots in the top 10 and five out of the top 20.
The comprehensive research by the Milken Institute used detailed data on job creation, wage growth and gross added value of hi-tech services and manufacturing industries to compile the rankings.
By contrast Germany has two cities in the top 20, while France, Italy and Spain did not feature.

It's embarrassing watching May trying to square the circle. How can she satisfy Eire while keeping the DUP bigots onside:rotfl:

Im sure the typical Brexiteer cares how London is doing;) Most of them would be suspicious about trying food from the next village.

Why don't we offer £40-£60 billion to Ireland instead of EU on the condition that Ireland has to leave EU as well? :eek:

because a. It'd be a crap deal for Ireland, and b. because we'd still have to pay the EU what we owe them.

It might be cheaper to give the DUP another few billion to allow a hard border between NI and UK. I honestly doubt they are that principled.

As equally principled as the Republicans.

Brexit boomers want young to take pay cut to enforce Brexit. Young want pensions slashed to halt process.

They'll both get their wish.

The trouble is that the DUP’s priority isn’t to do the best thing for Northern Ireland, but to ‘Defend the Union’. And in the perceived zero-sum game of NI politics that means the Republic of Ireland has to be seen to be doing badly. So even a hint of concession or that the other side has ‘won’ has to be stamped on.
Remember that the DUP didn’t even back the Good Friday agreement (they won’t even call it that), though they were quick to take advantages of its benefits. So they will prefer to strike attitudes rather than work for what is best. Their response is emotional rather than practical.
In that they are like the more fanatical Brexit supporters of course – it’s all about what makes them and their voters feel good, rather than what actually works in the real world. Of course those indulging themselves this way, do so in the belief that they are not going to suffer the consequences of their actions in any case – in the case of the DUP that the subsidies from rUK wil continue. How much of our money are the tories prepared to pay them to avoid facing Corbyn at the polls?
