Not a fan of Varadkar myself personally,but hardly think newcomer would describe him.Hes a TD (Irish MP) 12/14 years now. Disagree in your statement of his confrontational language.Dont even know of the language youre referring to,but,if some of the clowns on the London side were able to come up with some coherent arguments and agreements,this whole sorry saga could have been signed,sealed and delivered by now.Instead of to-ing and fro-ing to Brussels,we agree on this.No,sorry,we dont,yes we do etc.etc. ad nauseum.
All the while agreeing with your point of the loss to the Irish economy,it will be MASSIVE.
