Your comment is whataboutery. How far back in time do your genuinely held comments go with regards to justice for all?

Welcome back Wayne
I have personally experienced the murder of a family member. I would prosecute everyone involved. However, if we wish to draw a line under it, however hard, then the line should be drawn for all.......

On St Patrick's Day, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, tweeted a message to what he called his "Irish friends", saying Ireland was part of the EU for 40 years and he looked forward to another 40 of peace, prosperity and solidarity.
I'll drink to that. Slainté Mr Barnier.

The Scottish Nationalists, the governing party up there, are sick of the DUP.

The SNP says it is wrong one party has more sway than the Scottish and Welsh Parliaments combined.

SEEKING a long term solution to the never ending parade of ignorance a portion of the British public seem perfectly happy to show off when it comes to Ireland, Irish history, and the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, the people of Ireland have hit upon a clever idea.
Whoever wrote that article displays an ignorance of Irish history as well.
The border is not between “Ireland” and Northern Ireland.
It is berween the “Republic of Ireland’ and Northern Ireland.

Historically you are correct of course, but since the GFA it has been recognised by both governments and the EU that the official name of the Republic is "Ireland" so technically it is not incorrect to use that.SEEKING a long term solution to the never ending parade of ignorance a portion of the British public seem perfectly happy to show off when it comes to Ireland, Irish history, and the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, the people of Ireland have hit upon a clever idea.

Like Ol’ Khal give a stuff about that, Mark.
It is not now, nor will it ever be, correct to refer to refer to the Republic of Irekand as merely “Ireland”.
Neither the EU, the UK, the Dublin Government, the United Nations nor even Starfleet Command have the right to engage in such partionist jabberwocky.
Stone me......I have only recently moved beyond refering to the two jusisdictions in Ireland as the “Free State” and the “Six Counties” innit

I refer to the Republic of Ireland as Ireland all the time mate. Part of it is laziness I suppose, not wanting to say the extra 4 syllableslol.SEEKING a long term solution to the never ending parade of ignorance a portion of the British public seem perfectly happy to show off when it comes to Ireland, Irish history, and the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, the people of Ireland have hit upon a clever idea.

But most of it is habit. My mum is Irish. I'm half Irish. My mate I used to work with is Irish. I've always wanted Ireland to do well in the world cup (or used to until that nob Keane got involved in running them). I have lots of extended family in Ireland.
Likewise I refer to anybody from the North as Northern Irish, and refer to the place itself as Northern Ireland.

British MEP 'trending' over Irish history claims
British MEP Daniel Hannan has inspired a new hashtag as Twitter users reacted to claims he had made a string of inaccuracies about Irish history. #HannanIrishHistory was trending after Mr Hannan used Ireland to make a point about the EU in a comment article, but a number of journalists and academics disputed his claims.
In particular, he claimed Fianna Fáil had won every Irish election between 1932 and 2008, when in fact Fine Gael had come out top on six occasions during the period. When the errors were pointed out to him, Mr Hannan said "historians necessarily have different takes on the same event", adding "Please try to accept that yours is not the only interpretation."
But Twitter users were quick to mock the MEP with their own humorous takes on Irish history.
Derek Mooney, a public affairs specialist, referenced Mr Hannan's Fianna Fáil claim directly, joking: "Though @fiannafailparty had won every Irish election since 1392 (sic), it was dumped by voters after its 2010 #Eurovision entry failed to make the final, this sparked a run on the Euro and the banishment of Louis Walsh to ITV #HannanIrishHistory".
Steve Peers, a lecturer in international law at Essex University, tweeted: "The statue of Oliver Cromwell outside Parliament commemorates the Nobel peace prize which Cromwell won for ending the Irish Civil war #HannanIrishHistory"
Writer Dean Van Nguyen wrote: "Fionn mac Cumhaill burned his finger on the Salmon of Knowledge because of EU regulations on food labelling #HannanIrishHistory."
Another Twitter user told a longer tale, joking: "Michael Collins faked his own death in 1922 in what was then Ireland's largest insurance scam. Collins would later flee to America and flew the Apollo 11 mission. He would be immortalised in the song 'In the air tonight' written by his brother Phil #HannanIrishHistory."
The Nine Years War began when Hugh O’Neill discovered his true love,Queen Elizabeth 1,actually had the hots for the Pirate Queen, Grace O’Malley. So the Plantation of Ulster, by the DUP, actually happened because of a lesbian love affair! One of the ironies of #HannanIrishHistory
Mr Hannan did not respond to requests for comment. lol
