File Photo: Brexit Endgame. Today in the House of Commons the resolution of the Brexit Crisis may take a further as MP’s are asked to vote on Theresa Mays Deal for the third time, with a slight variation. They are being asked to vote on the Withdrawal Agreement only, without the Political Declaration! Meanwile pressure is mounting on the DUP and Arlene Foster in particular, to bite the bullet. If they refuse they may face the wrath of the new leader of the Conservative Party, who may deem it their priorty to make the DUP pay, even if it means a general election. End. 24/3/2017. Brexit Story Ireland. As British Prime Minister Theresa May gets set to trigger Brexit in a few days time, communities on both sides of the border in Ireland, hold their breath waiting to find out the implications of a possible hard border. Compared to 20 years ago the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, has almost disappeared, except for safety notices to alert motorists that the speed limit in the Republic is in kilometers and in NI, its in miles. The Peace Process has not only changed minds and attitudes, but commerce as well, with business flowing unhindered between the two countries as private cars and goods laden trucks, cross the almost invisable borders without checks of any kind. Any change to the current ease of travel, will not only have serious economic consequences, but will turn minds back to the bad old days of not only a divided landscape, but a people as well.
