Current Affairs Irish Border and Brexit

Thanks, as long as we all get to vote in the government and create our own laws I don’t care where it’s based or what it’s called......

I'm good with that, of course, you'll have to change your language and religion, ya know, fair is fair.

I‘m not sure that the U.K. actually wants Southern Ireland back......

The plantation is over, send the Scots back.

I‘m in total favour of sending the Scots back...oh you mean from Ireland as well.....

English is still the most common language and I’m already a Catholic.....ach buíochas as an gcuireadh.......

If only we had been able to foresee that English nationalism would be the driving force behind the unification of Ireland.

People have a choice. If Ireland wants to come together and unite no one will attempt to stop it. It’s a different world from yesteryear......whatever is best for its people.....

Pete, I hope what you say is true. However I feel that that as we enter the end days of Northern Ireland as we know it there will be a belief within certain parts of loyalist that civil unrest may lead to a repartition and a British enclave centred around Counties Down and Antrim. Hopefully I am wrong and we all realise our value within the grand scheme of things.

I dont want to be controversial or step on anyone's toes, but it surely makes more sense now to unite Ireland and undo the unnatural century old partition of the country.

There's a long road ahead, but today's establishment of the sea border is the first step on the path back to reunification.

All that appears permanent is always in reality a state of flux. Some periods in time it looks like there's stasis and no chance of change; other periods there's a qualitative shift and an acceleration into some other and different form. The latter is the period we're living through in the UK. The Scots will also break with the *Union* shortly.

Not only does it make sense from the point of view of Ireland....it makes sense for English Brexiters as well.

The path to Brexit would have been so much smoother but for the border we imposed, under threat of “immediate, terrib war”, on that country a century ago.

They would sell out the Unionists in a heartbeat (apart from a few them). Perfidious Albion indeed.

In the past couple years the unionists have been under more buses than Merseytravel’s busiest mechanic.
