I’m not holding out too much hope. The Irish won’t take any shit off of BoJo.

I do hope that in whatever happens the Irelands can remain peaceful.

I honestly couldn’t tell you. I know that North Ireland and the Republic of Ireland would have to vote overwhelmingly to do it.

Right now there’s a big furor going on, because the Brexit deal they’re talking about goes against the deal worked out a number of years ago. Ireland vs North Ireland was a real thorn in the side of the UK; all the bombings, etc., that went on with the IRA meant that the deal was of great importance. Boris and his lot seem to think that it’s just a piece of paper they can tear up.

They’re going to start an insurrection if they’re not careful.

As a hypothetical what do you think would happen if A) Northern Ireland exited the UK and/or B) Decided that merging (returning?) with Ireland would be better? I’m greatly unaware of the socio-political ramifications and wonder if you could offer some insight.

Nope. And it’s delightful.
We keep hoping against hope that they manage to scuttle the whole thing. I doubt it, but we can hope.

Yeah they don’t mince words do they?

Over here (esp in Scotland), he’s known as a fuckwitted cockwombling twatwaffling shitgibbon…

The Scots do have a lovely line in invective. 🙂

What a stupid man.
