Barnier has acknowledged that sorting out citizens’ rights will be top priority while the divorce bill is described thus:
“There is no price to pay to leave. But we must settle the accounts. We will not ask the British to pay a single euro for something they have not agreed to as a member.”
Deutsche Bank look set to take a 25 year lease on a new London HQ while the Dutch are pushing for us to have a combination of Canada+ as a goods deal and a beefed up version of equivalence.
It’s falling into place.
Born here?!
Martin McGuinness was "not a terrorist" but a "freedom fighter", Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has claimed.
* And whatever they are now called.
The loony Brexit proposal was to place Ireland within the UK border.

The Irish border as a migration access point is fairly irrelevant.
The bigger issue with the border will be the flow of goods if we go to tariffs.

With the internet, do we actually need retail banks at all?
Why can't the BOE/government offer a simple deposit account service for us plebs?

Edit: on second reading I see what you mean.
However seems odd the Irish can concede the principle of US immigration operating but not the UK. Their right of course, and we could've reciprocated by having Irish officers at Heathrow as a CRA border force, but if they don't want that well that's their option.

Longest UK train ride (without changing) for me was Leuchars to King's Cross southbound, about 5 years back, all of six hours.
The only solution is to be tougher w muslims than is politically possible, and fair to the vast majority, so there will be more and more incidents across Europe. It is a nightmare of our own making with no practical solution
Two reasons:
1. Before 2001, we didn't take Islamic terrorism seriously. It's taken a long time to re-orient the security services so they're pointing at Muslim fundamentalists, but now they are. This means that large scale incidents get harder and harder to organise.
2. The Saudis (that'll be our "allies") have funded practically Islamic terrorism. It is they that have spread Wahabbi Islam (as opposed to Sufi and other more moderate sects) by spending money on Mosques and sponsoring schools. The Saudi money is drying up.
We need to stop being squeamish about pissing off the Saudis. No Wahabbism (and trust me, there's no one other than the Saudis funding these Mosques), means virtually no radicalised local Muslims.
In my original post I meant to write 'and unfair to the vast majority of muslims' by the way
