As Ernie can confirm I don’t tend to eulogise about the Irish, however… the whole mess up North seems without an easy way out and they’re trying to find one. Calling them names, accusing of idiocy, patronising from behind a computer isn’t going to make any difference. Until the borders are totally removed throughout Europe, until there’s only one central government, until we become The United States of Europe (or Democratic Republic of Europe if you prefer) the residents of NI are going to suffer. There isn’t a clear majority wanting to join RoI, at the same time there isn’t one for remaining within UK, it’s all fifty-fifty.
For the record, I’m uncertain one massive European state is the way forward, too many wrong examples of such in history – USSR and USA spring to mind.
