So you were posting aggressively on a subject of which you accept you know little? Your ideas about Civil Servants is also based on something of a stereotype. No doubt one could make similar gibes at those in fianace/banking/tax etc or whichever bit of that jungle your personal niche is in.
Clearly the EU cannot take NI away from Britain. That interpretation of what is the EU's fall back position is one that comes from the Brexit ultras. Mrs May's speech on Friday seemed at last to move towards some sort of compromise but given that, in accordance with a timetable dictated by her own premature notice under Article 50, we have approx 7 months left to tie this whole divorce/transition stuff up she's desperately.
We live in interesting times!!
