Already up and running and bypassing Dover completely. They did, think it was covered by an additional ferry service Wexford to Cherbourg.

No I genuinely mean being European federalist complete with the euro, Schengen and no Maastricht opt outs. The inability of the UK elite to properly embrace Europe because they wanted to "stay British" in a weird post-imperial twilight is what made the rise of Farage's brand of identity politics possible because none of the mainstream political parties were making a positive case for the European Union. Sammy Wilson is a bit of a low IQ individual in many ways but he is far from alone in that in UK politics.

Its just a coincidence then that your preferred course of action retains control of Scotland in London and Scotland a part of the UK then? And your sneering contempt for those who wish simply to run their own country as practicing 'identity politics' is a bit of a giveaway mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually it will get more automated and sealed containers with no EU or UK checks required will get fast tracked to get them out of the way.

I'd prefer politics revolving around a shared set of social values that readily transcends national boundaries to them and us tribalism that cavemen from thousands of years ago would have understood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer politics revolving around a shared set of social values that readily transcends national boundaries to them and us tribalism that cavemen from thousands of years ago would have understood. The difference is fundamental. These people come from places which already have self-determination, therefore their issue is about identity, and real nationalism, and bigotry. Scotland is in a completey different situation which is best described as decolonisation, people in Scotland just seek control over their own lives not somebody else's. Your citizen of the world schtick is cute and would go down well in a first year uni dorm after a couple of joints but its nonsense. People have always organised themselves according to shared values, heritage, language, culture and yes also identity in some respects. It has ever been thus, you believe you are more enlightened when really you're just a bit more naive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 A website prominent in the campaign to take the United Kingdom out of the European Union, Leave.EU, this week saw its domain name suspended, as .eu domains are restricted to users within the EU. To make matters worse for the site’s backers, the man who is listed as the site’s owner, a businessman from Waterford in Ireland, has denied any knowledge of the political group, and says his name was used without his permission. The top-level domain .eu can only be used by individuals or organisations registered in the EU, which is the reason why the domain changed its registration in the run-up to the end of 2019, when the change came into effect. The site is now registered in Ireland without the knowledge of the man listed as its owner. Businessman Sean Power told the Guardian last week, “My lawyers are looking into this on my behalf presently and will be in touch as deemed necessary in due course.” The question was raised by Irish MP Neale Richmond in a letter to the country’s telecommunications asking it to investigate how it was possible to hijack someone’s identity in this way. “It is utterly ridiculous to think that Leave.EU could brass-plate an address in Waterford to maintain their domain name,” Richmond said on Friday. “They wanted to leave the EU, they have, that means they leave their domain too.” The lobby group Leave.EU was originally set up by businessman Aaron Banks, who used part of his personal fortune to lobby for Brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
