you're welcome. I'm Irish and find NIalls punching down on english pure *cringe*.

this guy, mc sweeney, is a problem for labour. I suspect he's pushing the "not in my lifetime" EU agenda with starmer.

I never said the EU is anti english.

I'm Irish and find the way Niall O Conghaile punches down on the English pure *cringe*.

I wasn't talking about the EU. Or DH. I was talking about the anti english bashing from Niall O'Conghaile. It's pure *cringe*.

I'm not talking about DH. I'm Irish. It's pure *cringe* the way Niall O'Conghaile punches down on the english the way he does.

I was talking about the anti-english bashing.

David Henig & Niall O'Conghaile are actually advocating the same solution for brexit - a custom/swiss style deal for the UK to get SM access, a "third-pillar EEA" - yet O'Conghaile punches down on DH and others in an anti-english way.

pure *cringe*.

I'm Irish, pro European and don't share O'Conghaile's views. @andrewbrook.bsky.social puts it well.

In Ireland we have an expression "reel your neck in". Niall O'Connghaile badly needs to do that. Punching down on you and other english commentators, under the guise of being pro European, doesn't wash and doesn't help.

Alternate view - the pitiable irrelevant Brits should be honoured to be bullied by the glorious infallible greatness that is the EU. The EU doesn't need anything, put up the walls and everything will be great! bsky.app/profile/nial...
I'm particularly disappointed in @davidheniguk.bsky.social for falling into the easy tropes of "bullying Brussels" and the "dastardly French"

The frustration is that Europe won't give UKG what it wants

Let's acknowledge that the problem lies with the UKG and its redlines, not M et Mme Dupont
