"but to accuse me of racism is a despicable lie"
I've given you the examples - and as you had no problem in describing me as a fascist, I really don't see you have any room to complain, especially as I at least provided proof of your philosophy - but let's move away from this cess-pit.
Both the Dublin and the British, Governments' stated attitudes were taken in the shadow of the violence of 'The Troubles' - pretty much, "anything for a quiet life"; no basis to build a future policy.
The same with the Irish people I live amongst, but I do not know one Irishman here who doesn't envisage a United Ireland as a reality, even a necessity for the future of the country. Decisions taken and opinions formed under duress and threat are liable to constant change and the more things settle down, the more you are likely to see an upsurge in the movement towards a United Ireland.
You must tell us sometime when you were able to discuss the matter with the Dublin Government, the people of the Republic and the British Government to be able tpo state so catergorically that they all agree with you.
You still don't tell us your alternative for ensuring a lasting peace - but I don't suppose that you ever shall.
I do notice that you haven't challenged my analysis, so can I assume that you agree with it - if not, where?
