Have seen your ‘posts’ on other boards. Particularly, the one about ‘what life would have been like if we were still part of the ‘United’ Kingdom…… http://www.boards.ie : 😮

That’s a good thread that. 2,000 odd views to date. What’s wrong with a HYPOTHETICAL thread in a POLITICS forum about the POLITICS of Ireland and Britain?! :rolleyes:

95% of people on this little island want to get on…. The people in the ‘South’ are quite happy being themselves and running their own country. When the people in the ‘north’ sort themselves out, they are welcome to join us…

Erm,ok, whatever makes you happy, personally I will vote NO in any referendum on allowing Northern Ireland to become part of the Republic. I don’t think we need to subsidise the place-it vacuums up £4bn a year from Westminster you know! 🙂

Enjoy waving your flags, marching, singing patriotic songs or whatever floats your boat. Irish history is lot more complex than you seem to believe.

I could not agree with this more. Irish history is far more complex than many appreciate. Singing and dancing and waving tricolours just because is not my cup of tea either.

Edit: That’s all I’m gonna say on this here. It’s way OT, sorry to the mods.
