the counterbalance to what we've seen in london is absolute chaos. we're looking at the biggest british political crisis in peacetime since the corn wars. we have no consistency. we have people talking about the brady amendment or the kit malthouse compromise, will talk about alternative arrangements, these arrangements provide for nothing that is actually in operation around the world. we need a legal basis to protect the peace. we are simply not getting the alternative from the uk. all we're getting is a wall of noise and confusion from westminster consistently. the british government has responsibilities. they simply cannot walk away from those and try to blame it on an irish government or a european union that's been consistently working in a mature way to get a compromise agreement. all right, well... we are well aware of the very, very negative impacts of a no—deal that, though, is not our choice. there are some voices in ireland who are beginning to doubt the wisdom of your government's stand, and they are controversial voices and they get s
