Barnier begging Macron to drop Brexit demands on fishing

Oh shut up Notch, the border area is a mass of extension cables all plugged into the UK.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Ireland

Ireland is a net energy importer. Ireland's import dependency decreased to 85% in 2014 (from 89% in 2013). The cost of all energy imports to Ireland was approximately €5.7 billion, down from €6.5 billion (revised) in 2013 due mainly to falling oil and, to a lesser extent, gas import prices.[1] Consumption of all fuels fell in 2014 with the exception of peat, renewables and non-renewable wastes.[1]

Final consumption of electricity in 2017 was 26 TWh, a 1.1% increase on the previous year. Renewable electricity generation, consisting of wind, hydro, landfill gas, biomass and biogas, accounted for 30.1% of gross electricity consumption.[2]
Out of date 2014 :ROFLMAO:

"Ireland changed from being a net importer to a net exporter of electricity in 2016 and continued to be a net exporter in 2017 and 2018"

aaaaaaand the bulk of that electricity is produced by gas powered stations, and where does the gas come from? They are a net energy importer, always have been, always will be.
 
"The negotiations thus seem to have morphed into a chicken game: two cars race toward each other and the one to veer first loses the contest. Both cars being of roughly the same size, there are only losers if no one veers. Yet what is perhaps not entirely understood in the UK is that this is not a standard chicken game with two more or less similar cars, but a situation where one party drives a large truck and the other a motorbike. That collision will not have symmetric effects, therefore. The EU is simply banking on the Johnson government seeing that too, coming to its senses, and accepting the EU’s not entirely unreasonable demands."

Scotland, which would be happy to supply.
 
Boris will cave in soon.

no deal means to much chaos and front loaded damage:

aviation
haulage
car manufacturing
farming
Irish border
medicines
food shortages


not really a good political look: :truck drivers pizzing in a portaloo on the M20 :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
I'm not so sure, Govey sounds quite convincing today.

And it worked, Barnier has just caved in and agreed to intensify talks, I suspect that behind the scenes, Merkel has given Macron a sound kick in the *******s.

Michael Gove has praised a “constructive move” by the EU in an about-turn after its chief negotiator agreed to Downing Street’s conditions for the resumption of Brexit talks in pursuit of a deal.
 
He has, but Boris and pals want more than a procedural change. They've said no until the EU are willing to shift on one of their red lines.

They'll shift, we'll shift. Who doesn't love a theatrical nail biting finale. (y)
