"I say that is fascist bullying."
I'm sure our American friends will be delighted to hear that their country came about through an act of fascism.

"If Britain did that to Scotland".
Scotland (and Wales) are sepatate countries and have a right to self determination should they wish it. The Cessationist states were part of the country of America.
"You think it quite acceptable for the 6 counties to be forcibly subsumed."

Mainland Britain should have no say whatever in the governance of Ireland - the fact that it has had the controlling say for as long as it has had has led to centuries of bloodshed.
"I was not distorting what you said about mainland voting on NI."
Then please point out my relevant posting; if anything I have written has caused confusion, I apologise.
