There is just no way the noars will win it again especially after brexit with all the rationing that will have to be introduced on bacon jam ham and so on. I read that during ww2 the women had to sleep with the butcher to get their daily portion of meat. If that gets reintroduced under the tory hard brexit i will become a butcher haha just kidding but at least things like that will make people vote yes next time especially the women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-71852485376387141712019-01-30T07:41:09.225+00:002019-01-30T07:41:09.225+00:00Poor Cordelia.

See my ...Yes I condemn the IRA attacking civilians. See my post. Seems my French wife's English is better than yours. Was clear enough to her.<br /><br />I presume you condemn the British occupation of Ireland? Unless that is you support the partitioning of England along e.g. Remain vs Leave lines? If you support the partitioning of Ireland based on 'voting patterns', then you must also support the partitioning of England in the same way. Otherwise you'd be hypocritical scum.<br /><br />And British Terrorists are just as bad as the IRA. They even tried to kill my family in Glasgow, never mind all the attacks on Ireland.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_pub_bombings<br /><br />A border poll can only be facilitated by the British government working with the people of N. Ireland. Eire has no power over N. Ireland; all it can do is consent to reunification (which it does). Nobody should be even thinking about N. Ireland leaving the EU until the N. Irish people give explicit consent for this through a referendum held e.g. their elected parliament and facilitated by the UK.<br /><br />N. Ireland doesn't belong to England. It is not for England to decide whether there is a backstop or not. The international community is unanimous in this. Hence the UN peace deal and the backstop.

If Ireland was occupying part of England, there'd be an ERA. Let's not brexit la la land delude ourselves otherise. Unless you are saying e.g. England can be partitioned into leave and Remain areas, with the latter forming a new state which stays in the EU? If Ireland is divisible, so is England.<br /><br />As it stands, England is already breaching the GFA by not holding a border poll and imposing direct rule.<br /><br />The GFA is clear that the future of NI is for the people there (and those in the south), not England, to decide. Also, that a border poll must be held should it be apparent the people of NI want a say in this. Well, they were asked recently and they said a great big overwhelming no to leaving the EU. They also ended unionist majorities (of the vote share) at both Stormont and UK levels. England is however refusing to let them decide for themselves on the matter of their future, breaching the GFA.<br /><br />The international community is being really patient with England as it breaks peace treaties. I don't know if that patience can hold.scottish skiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-46031251518761827412019-01-29T08:29:38.013+00:002019-01-29T08:29:38.013+00:00Funny, I remember when Irish nationalists tied to ...Funny, I remember when Irish nationalists tied to kill me just because they through it was ok to plant bombs in London and kill people because they lived in England.<br /><br />But of course its all England bad in your mind isn't it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-27404124672859347852019-01-29T08:11:50.891+00:002019-01-29T08:11:50.891+00:00Which bit of 'You are not putting English gest...Which bit of <i>'You are not putting English gestapo on the border to stop Irish people and their EU friends going back and forth about their daily business'</i> does England not understand?<br /><br />This is not about trade. It's about people.<br /><br />There are Irish (not British) families who have lived in the North 'forever'. Their great gran remembered when the black and tans proudy carrying the butcher's arpon raped her mother, killed her dad and burnt down their house. <br /><br />And now the English gestapo want their EU friends to be forced to 'show their papers' if they come for dinner one evening? That their EU wife/husband has to apply to the English gestpo to remain in the home they've lived in for decades? <br /><br /><br />That is the most important reason the border must remain fully open. Free movement of people. All people. Nobody can be stopped by jackboot in black with red and white flags on their arms. Not Irish people, not anyone. <br /><br />It's revolting that I have to apply to English racists for permission for my wife to stay in her home in Scotland, but for Irish people it is beyond the pale. For them it is foreign nazi occupiers who raped, killed and persecuted them. Who partitioned and still claim part of their country; something that the international community only just tolerates due to the GFA.<br /><br />The UK will never have a deal with any of its 31 neighbours unless the backstop is agreed to. And it better be prepared for economic sanctions.scottish skiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-47889510599418403752019-01-28T23:12:10.632+00:002019-01-28T23:12:10.632+00:00Top tips skier.
