As RD mentioned, I've no idea how they will deal with the Irish border problem. You can't work this out with rational thought as the whole thing is irrational.

In one word,will Brexit happen?

A response from Lord Buckethead. He has a point.

My week is worse than poor. Two points so far.

Given the DUP don't want a hard border or a border in the Irish sea, I don't know how they can overcome that. If they go with a hard border it will just show how little they care for NI and they are already in breach of the GFA (Good Friday Agreement)by buying the DUP votes. It's a conundrum which I think will massively affect the whole Brexit outcome. Unless a solution is found there will be no talk of trade deals post Brexit. Agreeing money and EU citizens rights will be easy compared to sorting out this problem.

.

Settlement can be agreed. EU citizens rights can be agreed. It beats me how they will solve the Irish border question which I hope is where the whole Brexit thing falls over. If their plan is a border in the Irish sea, just don't tell the DUP that. They won't like it.

This.

I've had a good(lucky)week helped by several of you having poor ones. I'm still over 50% wrong overall which isn't good.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/oct/13/no-brexit-deal-treasury-philip-hammond So Phil refers to 'the enemy'. Even though he apologised for using the wrong expression later, wasn't it a strange choice of word in the first place? Now that he has said it, it won't go back into the box. I wonder what was his motive? I find it difficult to believe he said it by accident.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/oct/12/jeremy-corbyn-says-would-vote-remain-second-eu-referendum JC says he voted remain and would do so again. Do you believe that? I'm not so sure.

I've been lucky enough to have been down in Cardiff a good few times for the rugby internationals. I love that the stadium is so close to the centre of town. Definitely my favourite venue probably helped by never seeing Ireland lose there (1 draw). One year pre-match me and my brother were invited to a club's private room/bar in a hotel just by chance. I think it was Neath. Pre-match everyone was very friendly and we were invited to return after the game. Well we did return and the game wasn't a draw. None of the buggers would talk to us. Come to think of it, I probably enjoy beating the Welsh even more than the English. Probably something to do with 1972.

Standards are slipping or it's getting more difficult. This time last season I had 65 points and 53 would see you in a mere 7th place.
