    We've even been nice enough to make it easier for Ireland to repay the UK.
    At the pace pound is depreciating, soon they can pay that with a few pints of Guinness...

        The Irish government is a minority government, which is only ticking along because Brexit is in the wings. An election will happen soon enough in any case.
        You couldn't have agreed in a more odd, tacit, thrice-removed way if you'd tried.

          Trigger warning:

          No one voted for no deal! No, sir.

                  No one voted for it - leaving without a Withdrawal Agreement wasn’t mentioned by either side during the referendum campaign.

                  That doesn’t mean that the sheeple haven’t now been convinced that that is now a good option.

                  Frog’s now boiling....

                      Maybe the EU secretly wants no-deal?

                      They could do with Brexit turning out badly for us, otherwise it might encourage other countries to follow suit. The FUD only works if we end up in the shyte.

                      I imagine their worst nightmare is the UK being a rip roaring success after leaving.
