@Sime0nStylites If this is the UK plan it isn't designed to be accepted but to be rejected emphatically
@Sime0nStylites From someone who has spent a lot of time in Northern Ireland talking Brexit
@Sime0nStylites Alternate explanation if not just an attempt at no-deal - the border post plan leaked to the press is designed to make alternative arrangements seem like the compromise and the EU look unreasonable in rejecting them.
UK still does not believe this can be an EU red line
UK still does not believe this can be an EU red line
@Sime0nStylites Always worth remembering there are some on the UK side who genuinely believe the EU will fold, and others who don't and want no-deal. General explanation for last two months is trying to pursue both paths, so if no deal it looks like an effort was made
@Sime0nStylites Slightly different take. Same EU answer.
@Sime0nStylites This is still simplism over realism and honesty from the UK Government. If there are answers to the Brexit and Ireland conundrum these are serious attempts to answer them. Unfortunately.
@Sime0nStylites Speaking of UK government simplism... (and now enough for tonight)
@Sime0nStylites Ok, last one, @pmdfoster is off, and is even less impressed than I am
