I was not distorting what you said about mainland voting on NI.
Backwoodsman, Allan C., and Crow Sister also took that meaning.
You have not explained what say you now think mainlanders should have. Troop deployment is obviously under British government control.

The Union forced the Confederacy back in.
If Britain did that to Scotland, or Ireland to the 6 Counties, I would say that was fascism by the mores of today.
You think it quite acceptable for the 6 counties to be forcibly subsumed.
I say that is fascist bullying.
