Well, time will tell, maybe I'm wrong.....I just want to get out of the EU. If the politicians can't deliver there will be ballot box consequences. Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Jun 2018 5.31pm)

James was asking why it could possibly be a bad thing for MPs to have a say if we can only get a rotten deal from the EU. Then Philip called up and LBC listeners all stopped what they were doing in disbelief. James asked him: "They say 'We must have the right to apply the brake if it becomes absolutely obvious that we're driving into a burning building.' "And you say 'No, even if we're driving into a burning building, we must absolutely not have a brake'?" Philip responded: "Yes, I agree. James then asked: "You did hear the words that came out of my mouth, right?" Philip told James that his hometown Sandbach was 98% white, but he was worried by the number of Somalians who have come to Britain on Dutch passports, something that made him vote for Brexit. Afterwards, listeners tweeted about how remarkable the call was.

The whole piece is about how terrible this guy is because his objection to Brexit was based upon racial grounds....Then the figure for whites was given for his town....98 percent. So I reply to you stating that O'Brien himself lives in a 70 percent white area in a city packed full of extremely diverse areas with a white percent average of 44 percent. Then you accuse me of racism for observing this hypocrisy. Very low energy lightbulb indeed. Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Jun 2018 8.41pm)

Yesterday's Ireland amendment on the GFA not only places it in law but also means we will have to be in a Customs Union with the EU & in effect the single market. Let’s just suck it up and move on!! This has just been discussed again in the commons and MPs agreeing that this is effectively true unless the unicorns can be found to man the Irish border. Brexit now dead as a project and only lives on to waste time and money for no decent reason.
Do agree and if only, the GFA is responsible? I thought the Ghana Football Association had been dissolved........... Joking apart that is very interesting.

Having problems with the link, but if you go to yesterday (13th June) Politics Live and got to Pages 5 and 6. Text of the amendment is reproduced word for word. Take by number of MPs also given. Admittedly they are remain MPs the ones quoted, but that doesn't mean their powers of analysis are not reasonable enough to work out what the amendment effectively means. You can also draw your own conclusion on the implications of the legal text. Basically says the govt must not compromise the GFA, have due regard for clause 49 in the phase 1 agreement and the act will not authorise any kind of border infrastructure.

It also allows May to push the train wreck gradually further and further towards soft Brexit where we effectively, or even actually, stay in the CU and SM indefinitely. UK may be able to use the Irish Border issue to gain a concession of free movement and end up pretty much where Cameron tried to get us pre-referendum. This issue just highlights the massive level of uncertainty and lack of UK policy on this 2 years (!) after we voted to leave.
