"Bombardier, the most important employer in the Unionist strongholds of Northern Ireland, is putting pressure on the region’s Democratic Unionist party to drop its objections to Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal as a critical vote in Westminster nears.

The Canadian aircraft manufacturer, which employs almost 4,000 people at four separate Belfast factories, has kept a relatively low public profile over Brexit compared with other UK-based manufacturers.

But the increasing threat of Britain leaving without a deal has prompted Bombardier to warn the DUP, which has fiercely criticised Mrs May’s deal in the past, of the serious consequences on its Northern Ireland operations of a hard exit, according to people familiar with the discussions."

Poor Theresa made the mistake of trying to appease the fundamentalist anti-EU fanatics.

However, the red lines she took on are impossible to meet. It is impossible for the UK to have a hard border with the EU, and for NI, which is part of the UK, to have an open border with RoI, which is part of the EU. The DUP and ERG know that. They also know that the EU has consistently said it must protect its member RoI's interesrs and avoid a hard border. They also know that Theresa's government repeatedly agreed to the "backstop."

The Brextremists know that there is no solution to Theresa's red lines, which is why the backstop is necesssary. If there was a solution, the backstop wouldn't be needed. There isn't.

Brextremists can promise the impossible. But they can't deliver it. They are now having to face the prospect of delay or BRINO. Which will they choose?

Fret not, Brexit won't happen, Well not in Match that's pretty much certain. Someone should I suppose have the courtesy to tell companies however.

My gripe now is, making a proper decision on what we want our relationship to actually be... last 2 years have been embarrassing.

Trick question. The answer is "both"
 
Theresa decided two years ago that we would be staying in the European Union. All her subsequent "negotiations" are sham. She is one of them.
 
maybe. kinda board with it all now - happy to leave, happy to stay. Would like to watch the news again.. but can't
 
Oh dear. The Armageddon is getting less and less with every day. Half as bad now than it was predicted just three months ago, which was in turn drastically not as bad than predicted months before that. Which was in turn drastically not as bad as .....

...Mark Carney said that contingency plans put in place would reduce the damage to the economy

It's great to know that laying in a good stock of prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs and bodybags means that mass jumping off a cliff will not be as messy as if we were unprepared.

We can set up mobile jobcentres outside the car factories, as well.

Woody considers that to be good news.

well the way i see it we are well on track to leaving on the 29th ;)

come the 30th we will be out . 1st thing to do is get that Macron on the phone and tell him to keep all french fishing boats out of UK waters or there will be trouble ;)

ring that Spanish bloke up and tell him the same and to also keep his gun boats out of Gibraltan waters or they will be fired on ;)

and thats just for starters on the first day :cool:
