Flotilla of barges with energy generators would be sent to Northern Ireland if UK crashes out of the EU

A flotilla of barges would be sent to the coast of Northern Ireland with energy generators after Brexit to keep the region’s lights on in the event of no deal, according to reports on Wednesday.

This is all very 1984.

Football is over now. Back to work.

Back to Brexit.

Reminds me of this, not really brexit, more budget related.

Don't forget folks, they need us more than we need them.

I am glad that at least one person can put it so clearly.

That article doesn't seem to explain why power would be cut off in Northern Ireland? does it come from the South?

Edit. I somehow missed the paragraph that stated it comes from the republic.

"Sad"

[Lagamorph]

I still don't understand why they're so hell bent on omitting services. Do they think sacrificing services means they can cherry pick no freedom of movement?

Yep

[Photek]

Can't see the EU agreeing to most of that tbh.

Yep

If anything they should be sacrificing goods, not services. Serviced are a way bigger part of the economy.

Not that it matters. The EU are just going to tell us to strawberry float off with this cherrypicking bullshit. All this is doing is laying more groundwork to blame the EU rather than leave voters and Brexit supporting MPs

How has this Rees Mogg character become so prominent?

A complete banana split.
