No-deal means we're getting borders in Ireland doesn't it?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
According to the withdrawal agreement it means that the EU has Northern Ireland custody.
No, the "border" is in the Irish Sea, but I don't think the Brexiters have realised it, so keep it quiet.
If he was Italian or French his face would be on our front pages every day with headlines like "Sleazy Primey" or "Boris the Sex Goblin" - I'm not very good with headlines - but because he's Boris, lovable prat who used to mumble funny stuff on HIGNFY, it either gets brushed to the side with a "That's Boris! *comical trumpet plays*" or completely swept under the carpet.
I have no doubt in my mind that Boris Johnson is a lying, cheating, backstabbing, disgusting little man. I wonder what his children think of him. He probably wonders that as well but he doesn't know where they all are.
Johnson prorogued parliament last year, which was deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court. A few months later he won a landslide majority. Aided and abetted and indulged by sections of our press and broadcasters.
He's probably partied and went to school with the majority of them. His mates will always have BoJo's back.
Am I missing something or that guy replying has 3 followers?
If you voted for this then feck you.
This is what you're dealing with
Yes. Had been tensions due to COVID investigations demands from Australia, but the trade deal that they have, still there without any changes and the commercial ties had been strenghtened by the signature of around 20 countries (the RCEP) in the region in november that is the biggest market in the world. So yeah, lots of trash talk from China, but Australia is a useful tool as image for the west that they can trade with them. Also, Australia has a lot of resources that China needs to keep growing
Whats interesting is that this signing with Singapore is seen as a prelude to entry into the TPP.

Am I missing something? An "Australia-style" deal between the UK and the EU surely has nothing to do with trade between Australia and the UK?
Just means you’ll still be allowed to compete in the Eurovision. It’s sometimes also called an Israeli style deal.
Amen, sir. We have gone “post truth” and i cant see how we can get back from it.
Wow.
Is this at all indicative of a train of thought of any appreciable size over there?
Why are we being ‘blamed’ for something that is good? Or is the goal post shifting again?
We used to have men like John Profumo. He resigned for lying to Parliament (how many times has that been done by Boris?) and then spent the rest of his life atoning for it by working as a volunteer for a charity and raising loads of money for them.
Might as well say Ghana deal. These people don't have a scintilla of shame.
So so true. When there are no consequences for lying, then we will be breeding a whole generation of liars and lies will inevitably be mistaken for truth. Look at Fox, OAN, Brexit campaigners, anti vaxxers, climate change deniers. The works. We've somehow been manipulated into accepting lies as a virtuous, profitable industry based on freedom of speech. Lies with no consequences.
It really makes you wonder, right? Who is sponsoring all this manipulation? The fact is, there are certain people who would benefit from this and are bribing people to have their way.
The EU is better off waiting this out and I believe that they had realised it. Let the UK's economy and its people feel the brunt of a no deal Brexit which will lead to the Tory party to either come back crawling for any deal really or to crush and burn . which would therefore give space to adults to go around the negotiation table with the EU.
Meanwhile contingency plans can be set out to mitigate disruption for the EU's end. For example if the UK wants to fly a plane over the EU then it must give sound concessions on fishing. Money can be spent helping Ireland as well. It would be a war of attrition really and I am confident that the EU will win that out.

Yes, they are completely unrelated but the context of that type of ideas is now almost forgotten, it's the CANZUK trade agreement dream that some brexiteers have.
Above everything else this referendum should never have passed through without the requirement of a big majority (60% minimum), that's the most galling thing in play here, a 4% swing for such a life altering decision is scandalous.
Russia basically. Destabilising the US and breaking up the EU have been Russian objectives for ages. Look around, what do you see happening? It's so corrupt Boris's 'Russia Report' was instructed specifically NOT to investigate Russian interference! There is a tsunami of criminality going on right now that we won't hear about for another generation.
Well yes the trade deal is there but the Australians are claiming the Chinese are breaking the terms of it:

One little snippet for instance.
These articles are all very contemporaneous, for a trade dispute that only seems to be getting worse at present.
As I said, the UK could never hope to replace China's trade with Australia, especially as we wouldn't necessarily want the same things China does. But it is not inaccurate to say that China has imposed restrictions on certain imports from Australia, as well as new tariffs on others and is threatening to put in more.
Indeed, some Aussies, including their trade minister, have stated they believe China to be in breach of ChAFTA.
I don't know who the culprits are. You might be right, but I get the feeling there is more than one. Whoever it is, it is likely we will never see justice be done. We can only hope that eventually we can claw our way back from the lies back to the truth and fix this stupid loophole of a lying industrial complex. Freedom is not without consequences and responsibility. How hard is it for people understand that? Everyone knows it. But no one is speaking up or doing something about it. As some others here have mentioned, only when the full impact has hit the Brexiters, will there be any chance of gathering enough political will to fix this.
I think there was a scientific research on it. The more people are viewing a crime, the more responsibility is shared, the less likely people are going to take action. Especially if it doesn't affect them directly. And it shows how well they understand how to manipulate people when we see all that is happening around the world.
This is an interesting read. All the amoral major players are involved.

That indeed looks horrifying.
So, a no-deal Brexit now looks likely.
The UK has given up a whole raft of actual, concrete benefits within the EU - freedom of travel and work, trade benefits, shared policing intelligence etc etc etc - for a single abstract benefit called "sovereignty" which in practice is a ghost.
Congratulations to all the stupid people who voted for Brexit, sold on the basis of lies.
The UK will now start to break up, starting with Scotland, who will re-join the EU within 10-15 years.

Maybe we can go to India together this time?
Serious question though, is anyone going to be stock piling with brexit in mind? If so what?
Isn't fresh food going to be the biggest problem?
It's quite to stockpile, I suppose you could freeze your fruit and veg.
We'll be pickling our veg again, just like the good ol' days.
