Who would miss them........?

Well its not as though I'm advocating moving the place....its still going to be there. Its still only going to be 40 quid from East Midlands Airport. Theres still going to be thousands of Irish people in every English city. there could still be Irish regiments within the British army even.

But if you don't sort out some sort of better coexistence agreement between the two sets of people in Ireland - something that satisfies everybody - the tories will be getting in before long, and they will be crawling to the unionists to preserve their electoral majority and once more the feelings will get hurt, the shit will hit the fan and angry words and worse will fly once more.

wartime and sentimental versions of history produce some catchy songs like the Jimmy Driftwood piece, but try bloody singing when you're digging the arms and legs out of someplace where a bombs gone off. If it were happening in an American town, you wouldn't be such a quick smartarse handing out the arms to anybody dumb and cruel enough to use them.
