Thread Name: Why should Britain remain in Ireland ?
Subject: RE: Why should Britain remain in Ireland ?
If, as you claim I so rightly point out, Chris B, that "that part of the problem stems from the Nationalist community having a 'British' identity forced on them gainst their will", where does the rest of the problem lie, and lets see if we can't resurrect the old 'Chicken & Egg' parallax to try and explain it?

Jaded, as you may well be, about hearing 'victim' trips coming from those living in our "affluent" countries, Chris please try to remember that it was because of that very point, that few thought the injustices brought upon the Irish people could happen in the first place.
People still think Apartheid was a purely South African concept, Chris B.
Could never happen here, Chris.
Not in a million years!

Don't suppose it did then?

Or does still, eh Peter K (Fionn)?
What does 'Folklore' metamorphose into, once you take the rose-tinted specs off?

Anyway, Chris B, I would like the date and the appropriate references to where "Gerry Adams last said that a United Ireland would be 'Socialist, Catholic and Gaelic'"?

Maybe in your next life, you might be born again as a pair of rose-tinted glasses.

It's getting to be a fashion statement, these days...

Wherever they felt like kendall, I would imagine.
And much the same as before, I would further to hope....
