Europe, Referendum & Brexit (formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)

I wonder how Boris feels about effectively lying to/ misleading Her Majesty ?? as to the reasons for prorogation?? Now we have the ludicrous situation of some English people questioning the validity of the court decision in Scotland, and suggesting it shouldn't apply to England!! I have news for them....They haven't got an independent England yet. Should the Supreme Court uphold this decision (or even if they do not)?? The UK is dead in the water, as I think that England will seek - along with Scotland - independence! I have already addressed the mood here in NI.

Estimated cost is £15 - £20 Billion. Mmmmm Boris and big bridges don't have a good record Oh and the bridge would be built across a sea still containing lots of unexploded WW2 ordinance.

Meanwhile Eileen has told him a Northern Ireland only backstop is not acceptable.

That has (building a bridge between us and GB - not just Scotland) been a longstanding idea of the DUP - having appeared in previous manifestos! Can I just gently remined people that it is - in fact - 'Arlene' I recognise the sarcasm perhaps??

Much more simple answer - free air travel for everybody in NI!!

Have You Seen These Men?

Police would like to speak to these individuals regarding a sophisticated scam targeting elderly residents of the Balmoral area.

HM has been lied to, the country, has been lied to by Johnson - he has to go!! what we need to realise very quickly, is that that he is dragging this country down an abyss from which we may never recover or escape for many years and the whole HOC should hang it's head in shame for being unable to deliver what the people wanted. We should have been consulted (and possibly voted for) every step of the way through this quagmire instead of allowing Parliament to deal with it for us.

Very much looks like it has an Orwellian feel to it. I wonder how long it will be before there are troops in every town centre to cope with the riots that may ensue.
