I asked you to explain your previous post "the Irish question is a stumbling block but it doesn't have to last forever". Trying to clear up what you mean. You seem to be confirming that you mean there should be a referendum on Irish reunification, right?

Mentioning NI is pedantry!And?
I know what I mean - and I have no interest in your pedantry or views
How far from reality do you have to be to think that?

Anyone would thing from these last few posts that MB is a poor defenceless child who needs to be looked after. He dishes out a lot more than he gets and whines when he gets it back.
Well the first sentence is a figment of your imagination. The second sentence is somewhat amusing from a remainer on a brexit thread:-)
Just more inane bollocks from you as you weakly attempt to score a cheap pointMentioning NI is pedantry!

My post had nothing to do with N.I.

Not at all but if there is a will for a referendum it would be hypocritical of me not to say fine as a leaver. I’m not strong on being nationalistic which may seem strange to some but it’s true.
The future isn’t set there are too many unknowns and things can change very quickly once a decision on a deal/no deal has been made. I think generally humans needs to be better at looking forward and the GFA is a piece of legislation that shouldn’t be looked upon like the American constitution, no good comes out of that.
Or the issue might be resolved by revised technology enabled processesI asked you to explain your previous post "the Irish question is a stumbling block but it doesn't have to last forever".

I may be wrong here but doesn’t the WA specify NI will remain in both CUs until there’s a technological answer to the border question, that will both allow NI to leave the EU CU but whilst maintaining the GFA?What's that supposed to mean? Sounds like you're suggesting Eire and Northern Ireland should unify?
He doesn’t need defending, I’m just calling out rank hypocrisy when I see it.Anyone would thing from these last few posts that MB is a poor defenceless child who needs to be looked after. He dishes out a lot more than he gets and whines when he gets it back.

- You mention clean break.Just more inane bollocks from you as you score to make a cheap point
My post had nothing to do with N.I.
- Bob mentions NI.
- You accuse him of pedantry.
- I suggest mentioning NI is not pedantry.
Not difficult to understand.
I’ll keep it simple for you in future.
Not in 11 days it isn't.Its down to the owners in their home countries/ports as to what size of vessel they sail. We can't tell them what they should do. Its about their sovereignty.
You seem to often mistake me for someone that gives a single fuck about your views and your need to try and score cheap points- You mention clean break.

My post was not about N.I. at all - and therefore you are quite right to suggest that it is not difficult to understand why I labelled Bob's post as pedantry when he seeks to twist what I was referring to.

In the spirit of keeping it simple for you, your post is nonsense. I’ve already explained why.You seem to often mistake me for someone that gives a single fuck about your views and need to try and score cheap points

and we still won't be able to dictate the size of the vessel they want to use
As long as they're not in our waters, they can do whatever they like. The South China Sea is nice this time of year.and we still won't be able to dictate the size of the vessel they want to use

The Irish situation is certainly a stumbling block but it needn’t last forever.
I would refer you to the ‘Irish Question’ first raised in the early 19th century.
Fast forward 200 years later...

They will remain in the EU Single Market/CU for goods until the people of NI vote otherwise. A technological solution may facilitate a vote to leave, but the status quo option is to remain.

Ireland's solution is obvious. An autonomous and United Ireland loyal to the crown and part of a fully sovereign and independent United Kingdom.What's that supposed to mean? Sounds like you're suggesting Eire and Northern Ireland should unify?
Yeah that sounds correct based on what I’ve read.They will remain in the EU Single Market/CU for goods until the people of NI vote otherwise. A technological solution may facilitate a vote to leave, but the status quo option is to remain.
Isn’t the vote via their parliament, rather than referendum?

I envisaged such a short sighted reply was a possibility, hence I used the word needn’t and not won’t:-)
