Seeing blair interfering gave me the creeps.

The UK has already lost 2% of its GDP in the run up to Brexit with various studies predicting economic catastrophe as it moves forward. $BILLIONS in financial services are ready to flee to Dublin or Amsterdam. British local councils are broke from years of Conservative austerity policies. The UK standard of living is close to Mississippi - which may soon look like a paradise compared to a post-Brexit UK where Scotland cannot wait to sever ties and the troubles reappear in Northern Ireland. Brexit is an unmitigated disaster.

I have very little time for him but on the competence metric, he leaves May and Corbyn in the dust.

It's a shame that the likes of the creationist/homophobic/scandal-ridden DUP have managed not only to bring political progress to a halt in Stormont, but now, it would seem, Westminster as well.
Whoever said that an expensive education doesn't pay off? LOL!
Joking aside, even a Fine Gael TD can be right some of the time.

Fintan O' Toole with another insightful article
There is, in Brexitland, a sense of outrage that the Irish government has not taken Britain at its word when it says that there will never be a return to a hard border in Ireland. The message all along has been: trust us, it will be fine, no need for a legally binding guarantee. But would you trust Theresa May who swore by her red lines until she crossed every one of them and who insisted she would not call an election until she did? Does anyone on Earth trust Boris Johnson, who was foreign secretary for much of this period and has ambitions to be the prime minister after Brexit? Could anyone have faith that David Davis would even understand what he had signed up to, let alone implement it?

Err, the people have already voted!
It is up to the politicians to go through with the process!
The UK gives more to the EC than it takes out.
March 29th is the day the British leave!
