The economic figures are sobering alright.
Brexit is going to hit us hard, one way or the other. The break up of the UK wouldn't help ease that burden on NI.
Pretty much why, in my response, I said that we wouldn't like a reunification referendum forced prematurely by events around Brexit.
The GFA was a wonderful achievement, but the future of NI was supposed to evolve naturally.
A lot of people in England in particular, either don't understand or underestimate the full significance of any actions taken now in haste, with regard to NI/Ireland.
 
Fascism will arise from outside parliament.

Disaffected voters will rally round people like Robinson and it won't be long before an overtly fascist politician is elected.

It can happen. It has happened.

I just popped out for some marmalade, when did this happen? ;-)

Disaffected British voters, by their name, tend not to vote at all, let alone march to the polling station for someone such as he. Indeed, historically, the more radical a party becomes, in either direction, the less attractive it appears. The lot of the extremist is not helped by the fact that our UK electoral system is skewed in such a way that it keeps our 'extremists' outside of Parliament. Whether that has been a good thing is debatable, however.

Was referring to Oswald Mosley.

Mosley had already sat as Conservative, Independent, and Labour MP, respectively, before he formed his New Party, following which his popularity declined and he lost his seat in '31, so while he was in the House, he was never elected to it as a fascist.

No he wasn't you're quite correct but there was a movement outside of Parliament that was fascist. Plenty of the aristocracy were impressed by Hitler. Edward VIII too. Ffs even the nation's Idol Churchill said a few complimentary things about him.
