So you think that’s not what’s happening now?
Brexit has created a shroud of economic uncertainty over all of GB & NI. Thankfully this has been mitigated by the NIP.
No, again.
NI being kept aligned with the south and in the EU is what is great for it.
I thought we all agreed a few posts back that brexit is great for ni and that come etc are falling over themselves to get in. Or did I misunderstand?
Shure it's everyone's else's fault.
Unionist victimhood, around since King Billy got a bad Big Mac at Boyne filling station.
That group has been active since Brexit begun.
Last I checked, they didn't even get a vote for it in your neck of the woods, Francie.
Not surprised Downcow thinks it is your fault though. Another laid bare demonstration of the problem with Downcow's particular brand of Unionism.
Doubtful. It is more like them being in constant election mode and feeling the need to be vocal against Brexit and its negative impacts and threats, i.e. they need to be seen to be doing something.
Me and 'my mates' did not cause Brexit downcow.
No problem admitting when I am wrong downcow.
It was clear from the get go what was going to happen here, you cannot say you weren't wrong and neither can political Unionism.
Pivoting from cheerleading the resistance to the Protocol one day to pretending you think it is a great thing the next is what you d downcow.
You do that because (as you have also tried to do here several times) you want to gloat. Transparent as an open window.
That’s just about everyone except you and your mates.
francie and his mates 😇
You missed my point. You seem more wrapped up in proving you are right and have won and unfortunately that restricts your ability to open up and take a risk in discussion.
honestly, sometimes I love it when I am wrong and I learn from it. But if you are never wrong then you’ll probably not learn much.
my da again - he said, “the man that never made a mistake, never made anything”.
No, I am saying they need to lay the blame where it lies, with political Unionism, The British government and the Brexiteers.
'cept that your brethren regard the Protocol remaining as de facto separation of the north from the Union. And many many people see the future as being the growth of an all Ireland economy (has already taken massive steps in the short time the Protocol has been here) and the people of the north looking south rather than east, as their future.
You are saying we need to drop the old ‘feed me I am a croc’ line
Francie you look like you are looked in to little personal competitions. What I want is what is best for OWC while maintaining our privilege of being part of this wonderful union that it seems Gerry, matin, Alex, nicola, etc try as they will, cannot cause our peoples to shift.
There's plenty more like him in attitude. Not a single mention of what landed him and his where they are. The world is out to get him and his - victimhood writ large.
Trouble with that whinging all the time is that people stop listening.
The constant see saw.
downcow thinks he is fooling people because he has set himself up to win whatever way it goes. I suspect that comes before worrying about what no Protocol would mean for the people of Ireland, which he is as well as all of the rest of us.
It wasn't mentioned at all.....precisely my point.
Were you expecting Frost to announce, 'also I've totally gone back on my ECJ red line and won't be pursuing it any further given the slapdown the suggestion received'?
What exactly do you think, 'quietly dropped' means?
I'll give you a clue, when something goes from a headline issue to not being mentioned at all, it has been quietly dropped.
Interesting in that it would suggest that the shinners are getting twitchy as the must think movement is happening
i didn’t read that. Maybe you would direct me to where that was said.
So the ECJ issue quietly dropped already?
That statement is ok. But I trust no one in this. We need to see the action

Well they are on first name terms with Boris even at the protest so I’d hardly think so. It’s really very affectionate
Well finally it looks like the other tribe is starting to make some noise about the NIP. But does anybody think they'll burn buses?

Let me be clear. I think ni will be better off economically even in nip current form.
bertie was correct on one point ie that this is about identity etc.
the other issue is movement of goods, pets, etc within the Uk ie gb to ni. And the displacement of our British goods. Those are the big issues for
I didn’t see it but I watch billy the other night and I worried for him. It was embarrassing. He is a fair age now and can’t really read and write so I am not sure why the pup are putting him forward
Many thanks. And that certainly rings a bell so I have heard it said
A completely irrelevant response. The devil you know is gone, Brexit has taken that out back and shot it.
The question surrounds the NI Protocol, which you're simultaneously claiming is impossible for Unionists to countenance in its current form and is disrupting your economy.....while also benefitting your economy to the extent that you fear that people may soon not be able to move there from either of (I'll highlight again) the MUCH wealthier neighbouring regions......those two positions are mutually exclusive.
