Johnson is becoming more nutty every week. Cant build the tunnel due to munitions dumped in Beauforts Dyke? Simple. Build a magic roundabout under the Isle of Man, with four tunnels converging!

Johnson thinks the UK has funds available like Qatar or Norway, he's deluded

Its just a distraction from the chaos he has created in pretty much everything else he has touched in the past 15 months.

I suppose the real point is, do you really care about job losses? It was your vote that brought them about. How comfortable are you with this? It's easy to talk of generalities (sovereignty etc) but when some poor buggers in Littlehampton lose their jobs, it's uncomfortably real, isn't it? This is not 'crocodile tears'; this is grim reality and 'consequences'. Consequences that some of us identified and which have never been fully acknowledged by others. So here's the chance to do so......

The real point of our exchange was exposing your rather feeble attempt to divert from Wz"s hypocrisy. There was a time where you had some credibly in your arguments but hitching yourself to a serial liar and hypocrite does you little credit.

Not logged onto NSC for 15 hours, but coincidentally logs on within 5 mins of me posting



While lurking as Is it POTG? since 7 this morning. After all the time and effort you put into your multiple accounts, I really thought you'd be better at it, it's just so predictable and repetitive. Lurk on one account for hours desperately awaiting some attention, then log on and reply 1/10

You could save yourself a lot of time and effort, I don't normally get up before 8.30

But, while you're on this account What was it about the NI Protocol that persuaded you to vote for it over Theresa May's NI Backstop ?

He needs to start taking some responsibility. If you vote for trade sanctions and with sanctions there are consequences.

Sovereignty means nothing when you've lost your job and the roof over your head

I see Alfa Laval Eastbourne are moving out as well, another blow to South Coast manufacturing

Even if he had the funds (it hasn’t stopped him giving away billions of voters money) it is technically impossible. It is a fantasy like a successful brexit.

Almost feel sorry for the DUP they are so stupid. But Arlene needs to suck it up, Brexit is her baby.

Arlene was happy enough to accept Theresa May’s bribe to keep the Tories in power in 2017.

Brexit: DUP launches court challenge to Northern Ireland protocol

DUP leader Arlene Foster has launched legal action to challenge the Northern Ireland protocol amid unionist anger over post-Brexit trade disruption. Ms Foster is joined by DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds, the party's Westminster leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson and chief whip Sammy Wilson, as well as former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib, Eurosceptic peer Kate Hoey and Jim Allister, the leader of the Traditional Unionist Voice party.

"At the core of the Belfast Agreement was the principle of consent yet the Northern Ireland protocol has driven a coach and horses through both the Act of Union and the Belfast Agreement.

"Neither the Northern Ireland assembly, the Northern Ireland executive nor the people of Northern Ireland consented to the protocol being put in place or the flow of goods from GB to NI being impeded by checks. They certainly did not consent to the arrangements for those checks being determined by a power over which we have no democratic say."

The NI Unionists want to get rid of the NI Protocol that the NSC unionists voted for ? It's almost as if someone didn't know what they were voting for and couldn't understand what was blindingly obvious to everyone else

I did try and help and pointed this out to our NSC Unionists 4 years ago



I have asked once or twice 'what was it about the NI Protocol that persuaded them to vote for it over Theresa May's NI Backstop ?' but they haven't got back to me. Probably still 'giving some more thought' to the question

If politicians advocating Brexit didn't have a clue what they were doing and what the ramifications would be, such as those above, it's hardly surprising that the likes of the username formerly known as Das Reich and likeminded posters on here such as the Footy Genius don't either.

The Faroe Islands are set to open an under-sea roundabout following more than three years of construction.

The underwater tunnels connect the islands of Streymoy and Eysturoy in a network some 6.8 miles (11km) long. The network is scheduled to open on 19 December.

The tunnel network will come as a relief to residents, cutting down the travel time between the capital Torshavn and Runavik, from an hour and 14 minutes to just 16 minutes.

Why under the Isle of Man ?

Surely cheaper to do it above ground on the Isle of Man ?

Or would Planning Permission be an issue ?

Seeing as Farage only attended 1 of the 42 fisheries committee meetings in the 3 years he was on it (whilst claiming a full salary), it's not really a surprise that he had no idea what it was he was meant to be doing, and who he was meant to be representing or indeed, what he was voting for.

He's simply showing the exact same level of understanding as the morons who have been voting for the UK to be stitched up for years across various parliaments, elections and referendums and are still doing it, whilst shouting 'that'll show them'

Liverpool to The Isle of Man alone is over 130km. I can see why an aide describes the idea as 'bat****'.

And your response to my specific points, please is.....?

Lots of tax dodgers on the IoM. They might well be friends of the Tory party?
Just a rather cynical thought.

I know it's not really relevant to the discussion, but why has someone gone to the effort of marking Newcastle on that map?

I think you (and sparkie) may be putting a little too much thought into what is obviously yet another 'don't look over here, look over there' smoke and mirrors fantasy

Just like a 'Good Brexit deal', remember that one ?

Exactly. File under Channel bridge, garden bridge, Estuary airport, etc etc

Much of the media are in on it, they have blood on their hands and threw the fishermen overboard

On plus point had some sensational shellfish over the weekend, trying to help put Brexit victims where I can....
