Thread Name: Why should Britain remain in Ireland ?
Subject: RE: Why should Britain remain in Ireland ?
Britain are not in Ireland they are in Ulster which despite the wishes of the majority of both Irish and English people remains part of the UK. Until such time as the unification of Ireland takes place the Government has a responsibility to the population there.
I advocate the Government stating clearly now that in a set period, for instance 25 years they will cede all interest in Ulster and allow the various factors 25 years to come to terms with a fait accompli, and make the necessary adjustments, it worked in Hong Kong.
Curator please do not offence at this it is not an attack on yourself or the wonderful people of Ireland where I have spent more than 20 holidays in recent years.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on my 25 year proposal
