I know where Nunavut is. I would hazard a guess the other Canadian posters here do as well.

I guess the question is, are you happy being knowledge challenged? (That’s meant as a general question, not directed at any particular poster).

After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

Well if you can name all 50 states by heart or all the former USSR countries I'd be impressed.  I got better things to do.

I doubt anyone outside of Ireland cares what the difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland are.

Half the UK people voted for Brexit because they thought it meant less immigrants, more independence from Europe. 
Half the US people voted for Trump. 

People know that smoking and drinking in excess is bad for your health.  They are addicted yet still do it. 
Being an adulterer when you are married isn't good for your relationship.  They know they should be faithful but they aren't.

Knowledge without action is useless.

I can.  I can even name the capitals of all the former Soviet republics.  I could probably name 2/3 of the capitals of US states.

Given that the bulk of the IRA's funding came from Irish Americans, most of whom had never set foot in either Ireland or Northern Ireland, I suspect you are mistaken.

Well, Trench's dating philosophies are as sound as his forecasts re 'Brexit'

As predicated - Mrs May has 'negotiated' that the the UK must obey EU rules - with no say in any new rules - and pay for membership - while she works out how to leave .....without losing the DUP support she needs to survive.

The 'transition period' will be just a little over 18 months so not too long then we will be out of it :) The UK-EU negotiations can be a bit like dating a girl - do what each other want align and what is either side prepared to give up. Clearly May could not have it all exactly how she wanted but its mostly there. If its just a short period then it is essentially just abiding by many of the rules we currently have, not being at the table for such a short period won't be a big bone for contention. I think she has limited the powers of the EU somewhat during this period. Crucially the UK will be free to negotiate and make trade deals with other countries during this period whilst keeping all the EU trade deals. The Irish question I think could still do with some written in assurance of the supremacy of UK sovereignty in that region, but of course the single market/customs union will not be able to carry on in Ireland or the UK as a whole after the transition period anyway.

I think its a case of a deal that will satisfy the majority of those in Parliament that she has done enough on most of the areas that both Leave & Remain MP's call for whilst avoiding veering to the extremes of both sides.

I'm sure you will! There are a lot of experts on Brexit but I'm sure the experts of experts have chosen your part of the world the USA to give a talk on it. Let us know how it goes because I'm curious about how their expert opinions on Brexit will compare against other expert opinions.

Remains to be seen if she is in trouble with her Brextremists as you put it. I don't think they will like the part on NI as it now stands as the original draft rather upset them on this and it will bring back memories of that. However, I think they will be reassured by the transition period not being too long and the ability to do trade deals. With the overall affect of it being that the EU's domination of us due to end I don't see that it will cause a revolt. Meanwhile Keir Starmer moved to welcome the agreement so with the Labour party onside on this one there us unlikely to be any revolt from the remain side in her party. So looks like it's all good for the go ahead Mobe ;)

It's all good for the transition period, as long as the rights of UK citizens living in the remaining 27 are observed.

Be careful Mobe, you may end up eating that humble pie all by yourself ;D

Well, it looks like re-moaners are all banking on the Irish Q as their last stand. I can see the Irish Q being resolved over the next few months though and with it the re-moaners will be in full retreat. Even Labour the main opposition party is in disarray over any organised opposition to Brexit and is like the Tories fragmented between Brexiteers and Remoaners.

Bit by bit we have seen Brexit advancing and bit by bit we have seen Remoaners have a stab at countering it only to fall flat.

I think Brexit will go through and it will be a good thing for the UK. I think we will still have close ties to the EU but not be under its thumb any longer or in a customs union. I also think that we will have good terms to move within EU nations for a lengthy term, perhaps at least 3 months or so similar to that which we have with Ukraine. I think in general we will have good rights within the EU to live/work even if its not as automatic as it is now. So all in all I think we will end up benefiting from leaving the EU by gaining a better strategic position within Europe.

There are many aspects, and it may be true that UK will benefit from some of these aspects after Brexit.

But there is one item that will almost kill the UK after Brexit.

That is the loss of the Financial Center of Europe.

Seriously though, with regards to the Irish border Q this cannot be properly answered until we know what the proposed trade deal will be with the EU. So far all we know is that the UK is looking for the most tariff free, free trade deal that is possible without the full movement of people policy. That and they are seeking to do the deal on a sector by sector approach signing up to the EU agencies or agreements with in each sector where appropriate.

So until the workings of that are fully decided upon the Irish Q will be not be answered fully as no-one will know what basis the trade across the border will be working on. It looks like both sides want no tariffs so it will probably just be digital checks on the border and digital checks on companies of what trade is being done where possibly through invoices, etc. The precise workings still need to be worked out but I think like most issues they will come to an agreement on it all.

Essentially if there is little in the way of tariffs then there is little to check as it crosses the border, any EU citizens wishing for work will have to apply for a work visa. I can't really see the Irish Q will be as big an issue as you seem to think Mobe.

I don't think it will kill the UK, many nations continue to function well both inside and outside of Europe by not having a financial center. As a proportion of the economy the city actually doesn't figure as that big a percentage of the economy either to its GDP or people it employs. The city will still exist after Brexit albeit most probably a little slimmed down. The UK stands to make far more in terms of trading relations with other countries. The city guys having too much sway on government has always been a problem for the UK so its probably best that we are not too tied to its wishes & whims.

Must you keep posting like an IDIOT ?

How can  a border ( already ) guaranteed to be free of restrictions on movement of people or trade have restrictions ?

Yes but ONLY for UK & Republic of Ireland citizens. Like I said before, EU citizens will not be hindered but they will lose their Freedom to Work in the UK, NOT their Freedom of Movement in the UK. No UK employer will be able to legally employ them without the proper visa, those that do will face heft fines.

Duh, and HOW - once again - are you going to stop EU citizens - with a right to work in Eire - from moving freely within the UK - if there can't BE a border ?  The Good Friday agreement and Common Trade Area PROHIBIT it
