Irish Current Affairs.

Scotland is not innocent. Wasn't it James 1 who organised the colonisaton of Ulster in 1606 which required the colonists to be English speaking and protestant hence the continuing links between Ulster and southern Scotland.

I cannot understand given what has happened in the last five or so years why any right minded Scot still supports the Union. We live in a country that has little say in how it is governed. Some union of equals.

It needs subtle and clever politicians who have the welfare of NI citizens as their touchstone. Or maybe just implement the Hong Kong solution - stay if you want and be Irish or come back to the UK where your ancestors came from. (I'm not being serious there mate but its probably more likely than finding subtle and honest politicians on both sides)

See my answer above - who the hell could achieve this.

You know that I agree with you but here is as much chance of England voting to rejoin the EU as there is me being president of Scotland. Look at the political landscape there as Labour move increasingly right.

So who is going to knock there heads together and get them to be responsible and sensible?

Sadds for Prez!
And no, I do not have the answers but the questions should still be asked before anything is decided.

I said it decades ago and still believe, Scotland will go independent before Ireland ever reunifies. Don’t think I’ll see it in my lifetime, but who knows.
As long as we all have a way to live together peacefully and prosperously I would hope that outdated concepts of Royalty and Nationalism will give way in the future to a global cross border unity of purpose.

The earth has bigger problems than nationalism that will need global solutions.

I’m thinking of applying for the seventy eight thousand pound grant plus derelict cottage from the government to go and live on Clare island, sounds a great idea ?

If you like yoga, cycling and wanking.

In Boston for the 12th and as a Protestant and unionist decided to pay my respect to those affected by the famine.

Someone has obviously never heard of or seen a Republican marching band.

In Benidorm?

 

[blueinsa]

In Benidorm?

Wherever they march.

Both have the exact same message.

Sectarianism yet the poster only seemingly has an issue with one side of that issue?

You should ask him why he singled out a loyalist march in Benidorm and why he thinks its only loyalists that have an issue with immigrants?
