Listening to Borris and the Brexiteers Think their Dail will try to block a no deal Brexit .Borris will go all in and call Corbin an anti democrat and call a general election with the Conservatives saying vote for us and we Brexit deal or no deal within 60 days of the election .Paggo and the Irish Government are shitting themselves they were played by the EU and now they realize it .You can smell the panic ,Veradkar ,Coveney ,Paggo,Big Mickey and Mary the Mouth all unavailable for comment sending out the Lance Corporals of Irish Politics to do soundbites .Talking with an x localcouncillor he was telling me the Harris Site on the Nass Road is up for rent .It was meant to be rezoned Residential but the developers who were going to construct large tower blocks said with Brexit and G20 tax changes on the horizon they were unwilling to go forward with the investment until they knew they could get the rent roll they require .He said the big issue was the government wouldnt make any commitment on HAP or rent subsidies that they could rely on in the future .So Brexit or the threat of Brexit is having an effect in Ireland .The sooner the cunts make up their mind do it or dont but do something .Now here is the bit of you scratch my back ill do fuck all for you .Councillor says the Harris site and other proposed sites that were to be rezoned from industrial to residential will have to wait until there is a commitment to build as the owners are afraid if they are rezoned the government might introduce a vacant site tax and force them to build up or pay up .

Agree BUT like a fella marrying a Virgin only to find out her box stinks and she snores in bed .He can change his mind and divorce her .Brexit was a vanity product sold by Cameron to keep his party togeather .Be interesting to see now that they know if there was another vote how they would vote .I wouldnt like to call it .Think the Brits have dug in they dont like to be bullied by the EU when in fact its their own Government who fucked it up .There will be riots in Britain if they dont deliver Brexit and after they deliver it there will be riots in Britain .Norn ireland economy will collapse Irish economy will be hit for in my calculations about 7% of GDP and not the 1.8 Paggo says .I dont think people in Ireland realise the impact of a hard Brexit on this country would be the equivlent of an atom bomb being dropped on Dublin .Think it was Churchill said Britain is a Nation of Shopkeepers Brexit means they have nothing to sell and cut themselves off from the wholesalers .Brexit is really about old men with moustaches and old ladies with grey hair hateing foreigners and pining for the good old days of WW2 .Britain is a broken society you have the English and the fucking Rest .Jocks ,Welsh Ni none of them matter they are little Englanders .I personally think Britain if they leave will be the first Domino to fall others will follow .Dont think Ireland could survive in a free for all Europe .

Should be but the numbers dont add up in parliament .Today they vote to ban a no deal brexit .Here is my best guess Boris sells Mays Deal to his Brexiteers as the only way out and because its the blond Haired Blue Eyed Boy they go for it Borris delivers Brexit in October then Goes for a General Election to get a majority to backtrack on the deal .Brexit any Brexit will impact Ireland .Brexit will happen with Mays deal at the heart of it until Borris can assassinate the DUP then all the talk will be around a border poll to off load the North by 2025 or 30 ,Leaving the UK free to do what ever deals they like .Britain will offer billions over a few years to the Irish government to take the North off their hands .

China's version of communism is on the agenda for the E.U. Everything you do and say will count as merits or demerits.....your "entitlements" will be awarded according to how useful you are in a "Big Community".

Yes SF certainly did change their agenda once Mary Lo became president.I always felt she was never really committed to the republican cause.like you say John, she was always much more interested policies you have outlined.I think Peirce Docherty would have been a good choice in hindsight

It was only an opinion poll that the citizens voted in. Not a referendum. It was only to show what they would like. The government could have simply ignored the result.

Britain is fucked either way

The Irish economy will be hit three times harder than Germany and worse than any other developed nation if the US imposes a blanket trade tariff, the IMF has warned.

A new study from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) put Ireland top of a list of countries that will be worst hit by US tariffs.

The study models the impact of a potential 5pc tariff imposed across the board by the US. It was released yesterday amid a series of trade disputes that have pitted the United States against China and against some of Washington's closest allies, including the EU.

Ireland's goods exports, it calculates, would fall by more than 0.6pc.

That's more than three times the drop experienced by Germany, which is the target of Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs "until no Mercedes models rolled on Fifth Avenue in New York" as part of his bid to get more of the products sold in the US built there by American workers.

Based on last year's exports from here to the US that figure is equal to lost exports of €234m.

In May, a report by the Commerce Department stated that imports of foreign-made cars were "weakening our internal economy" in a way that was damaging the economic security of the United States, highlighting a drop in the share of the car market held by US owned companies to just 22pc now from 67pc in 1985.

President Trump has delayed bringing in the tariffs on car imports for six months in order to give the EU, Japan and other major exporters a chance to negotiate on the issue.

The EU is the most export-exposed bloc of any of the world's major economies and Brussels has said it will respond to any US tariffs with levies on imports of US goods.

"About 70pc of European exports are linked to supply chains. Therefore, shocks affecting existing trade flows between the major trade hubs - the United States, China, and Germany - could affect European economies through those supply chains," the IMF report said.

Ireland's exposure to the car industry is tiny but the State's exports to the US are huge. The Irish Whiskey Association, for example, has already warned of the potential for damage to the industry here from tariff escalations. Ireland is a key part of the global supply chains that now criss-cross the world, with manufacturers here shipping goods globally, such as semiconductors or pharmaceuticals.

Some 28pc of the €140bn of goods exported each year go the US, but medical and pharmaceuticals, whose output is dominated by US companies, accounted for a third of all exports.

As well as accounting for a huge chunk of exports, multinational firms accounted for 77pc of the €10.4bn in company taxes paid last year.

Washington has already signalled its displeasure with Ireland over trade, adding it to a list of countries that are on a currency manipulation watch - which means they believe that the country has deliberately engineered a weak currency against the dollar so as to win market share.

Germany and Italy were also on the list among countries that use the euro. Most economists agree that the exchange rate at which Germany joined the euro was too low and say that it has given German exporters a huge advantage.

The apparent peace between Washington and Brussels on trade just now is down to a truce struck last year by Jean-Claude Juncker in a meeting with Mr Trump.

It wasn’t a referendum, it was a vanity vote to ask the public what they would like.
The government could have said “ stuff how ye voted”
