Micheál Martin: Brexit has been imposed on us by a 'self-regarding and imperially-minded English elite'

Image: Stefan Rousseau/PA Wire/PA Images FIANNA FÁIL LEADER Micheál Martin has blamed a “self-regarding and imperially-minded English elite” for Brexit during a speech to commemorate Wolfe Tone in Bodenstown in Kildare.

Martin was speaking as the fall-out over the House of Common’s Brexit vote continues, which saw MPs vote to force Boris Johnson to request an extension from the EU and effectively scuppering his hopes of leaving before 31 October. The new consent mechanism in effect embeds uncertainty into Northern Ireland’s future arrangements. This potentially undermines the ability to attract long-term investment. Equally many of the procedures required to implement what is a complex deal in relation to Northern Ireland’s trade with Britain are unproven and have to be developed from scratch. The next steps in the Brexit saga remain somewhat unclear.

Well, for a goon who said 'the idea of Nations as sovereign entities, is outdated', I wouldn't expect any less of a foolish statement.

Just like FF and FG, totally self-regarding and have an imaginary elitism.

What’s the difference between England and Ireland? The Irish are so weak minded they let not just one but two referendum results be reversed by the EU. Fortunately the Brits are made of sterner stuff.

17,410,000 people are hardly the “elite”, are they? They’re just ordinary people who know what they want.

Fianna Fail is like the turd that won't flush

You and LeoVaradkar should look in the mirror because you two are worse than them

Micheal should also remember that it was imposed also by 17.2Million,mainly English, who believed that right wing skank that they were doused in and voted for it. So it also has a democratic seal that he shouldn’t dismiss too quickly. Normal politicians failed here. Why?

Exploiting racism, xenophobia and ultra nationalism.

Erm, 17.4 million people, like us, sick of austerity imposed on us by a ultra rich elite was the reason they want to leave a corrupt federal state.
