When Peter Mandelson took over as Secretary of State For Northern Ireland, he was approached by Maggie Thatcher. She said, "I've got just one thing to say to you young man. You can't trust the Irish. They're liars, all of them. And don't you forget that." If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is. You can of course ignore the vapid rantings of MTHEGM and his comments about "the nation" and its preferences. I don't recall the nation being offered the chance to express any preference either way.
