"I have told you very clearly what I support - the right of self-determination for all -"
And you have argued against it from day one - contradictory lip-service.
Did you not suggest that Ireland's history suggested that they had no grounds for claiming to be one nation?
Did you not suggest that the only reason they did claim independence in the first place was because they were conned into doing so by the French and Spanish?
Have you not argued for a partitioned Ireland from the beginning of this debate?
Have you not argued that it is OK that six counties of (IRELAND - THAT IS WHAT IT IS - ONE IDENTIFIABLE COUNTRY) should remain under British rule under a regime that even divided those six counties into two warring groups, giving one group rights and privileges by law and depriving the other group of those rights and privileges, leading to permanent division, conflict and bloodshed?
Methinks, the laddie doth protest too much!
