I think the future of NI is valid in this thread.
If mods think it should be in the Irish thread, I’ve no problem discussing it there.

Fuck BJNot for those outside the EU and they will have to speak English to get a place here anyway.
Flicking through - I think that you should also join the exodus - and save yourself from dealing with the bollocks

Without wishing to further divert the thread with history, but as it was when a border commission was first set up a hundred years ago, currently 4 of the 6 counties have a Catholic majority.Evolution over time, a natural progression to an all Ireland supply chain economy where the differences between North and South become indistinguishable and the differences between NI and GB become more pronounced.
A longer time span to achieve unification, but one where the chances of success are higher than a binary referendum over the next few years.
Unionists in the North will seek to break the NI protocols as Brexit pushes the North and South together. For Unionists, and by that I mean hardcore Unionists, a land border to re-emphasis the divide is the only play left. I like to think it’s doomed to failure, but it can’t be ruled out entirely.
Mad to think the DUP supported Brexit, even madder that they still do in principle.
The border was never a logical solution and still isn’t.

Send all the Irish nurses home. We could do with them at the moment.Well, I doubt it given France is next door and Somalia isn’t. The practical barriers to a Somalian nurse are likely to be higher than to a French nurse. I am quite happy though to make an immigration policy that gives help to a Somalian nurse to overcome any practical barriers.
In economic terms though our policy is stupid. All countries tend to have a more generous immigration policy with its neighbours to facilitate work, travel and living, because like trade, immigration is often local ie just under half of our immigration came from Europe and the rest from everywhere else.
With the former colonies you had economic and cultural ties which tended to push immigration, just as say France had with Algeria.

Oh dear......
I will leave you to take comfort in your "...more than a little knowledge" - although I doubt it is in change management
But - please excuse me at having a good chuckle - but to be fair - you just have just not understood the order properly
Like I said, I’m not your target audience with that :) I think we’re both pretty clear on that now.

Seriously - do you think that there was anything in what either of you have said that I was suggesting appeared badly off-topic or objectionable?C'mon Eamo,you were already warned.
