      Yes but the point is the EU have said time and time again that there was no other solution other than the current proposed Irish Backstop Agreement. Now it appears that there was an alternative all along they just didn't want to make that public. They had SECRET plans for a technology solution all along. We were lied to. Maybe they should be taken to court for misconduct in public office. Crown funding anyone?

              I've always been puzzled by this question. Why couldn't Eire and the UK return broadly to the arrangements that existed prior to both countries joining the EU? Could it be that the EU didn't want such close links between the parties? The Irish have more in common with the UK than they have with the EU. Eire was once part of the UK and their citizens enjoyed a "special" relationship with the UK well before the EU was formed.

                A Decade! Sounds like a result. I expected the UK to be chained to the EU for a century.....

                    Your story appears in the Express and the S*n. Even the Wail isn’t running it.

                      Maybe The Troubles and the Belfast Agreement have something to do with it.

                      It’s a hard one for Little Englanders to get their heads around, I understand.
