Do your homework, Mr Potential President.

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden and U.S.A. Senate and Congress leaders need to do their homework.  For example, Nancy Pelosi says that there will be no deal if there is a border put in Ireland between the north and the south.    

Or as Joe Biden, the man who would be president warns, any trade deal between the US and UK "must be contingent upon respect for the agreement and preventing the return of a hard border."     

How depressing that the man who aims to be the so called leader of the free world can be so ignorant. There has never been a hard border.   The border has been an open one allowing free passage of people since 1923, just after Ireland seceded from the UK, and of goods since 1993, long before the Good Friday agreements.    

On a wider point, I think even the most ardent pro EU advocate would blush if they stated the EU wasn’t a bully.   We have seen then break agreement after agreement when it suited them.   And if they can bully the UK with all its strength, wee poor African nations desperate to sell into the EU have no chance.   The EU don’t respect democracy either.    

And if you think I'm over the top, just remember Ireland (yes dear old Ireland) being told by the EU, think again.  Just keep voting till you get it right.    

On the trade issue, I’m really quite staggered by the remain voices that simply haven’t the slightest idea of how trade works.  I make something. You want to buy it.  I sell it to you.  

That was what we did before we joined the EEC as it was.  And there is absolutely no reason why we could not just go back to that.  Anyway, the UKs business are ready to leave the EU.  Not that the CBI were not aware of it. 

But of course, in Brussels we have elite that really is not interested in democracy or free trade.  They want any trade to be wrapped up in their political ambitions for a European Super State.  The UK is now being a bit of a spoke in the wheel for progress towards that.  And they don't like it.  

The UKs problem is that under Cameron and May the EU were not relieved of their belief that the UK would roll over.   Perhaps it is late in the day but now they hopefully realise that leaving the EU means we are not subject to their courts of law.  Japan, Canada, USA, Australia, Brazil et al.    None of them as independent nations would allow such a situation to happen.  So why should the UK?    

On a final point, the EU has one of the most fearful PR department able to produce propaganda like never before.  This video is an example.  The less than subtle Message?   EU good.   Everyone else bad.   Classic. I’d hate to ever be on the wrong side of them.
