I wonder if anyone has ever actually changed an opinion or a position, after one of these heated exchanges.

At some point the positions will have to change if we are to progress to a period of peace and friendship, between our nations.

For the sake of Englishmen and Irishmen as yet unborn, we should get to it. And stop worrying about the Black and Tans.....

we have a democracy. theoretically we can make our rulers DO WHat WE LIKE.

I've heard both sides call each other scum, theres nothing new or interesting in that. If you want us to change English policy -try explaining what you want us to do that will make things better. Preferably without calling any of us scum.

Personally I'm a bit pissed off with the wind that shakes the barley and cools nobody's porridge even.
