"Why do you think that?"
Ireland was left a 'temporarily' partitioned country which has led to 80 odd years of unrest - but we've been there, done that, haven't we?
The most developed part of the country, which also had the best land, remained under British control = 70 odd years of emigration.
"Prejudice?"
See you haven't abandoned your tendency to smear rather than argue Keith - where on earth does prejudice come into the equasion? I seem to remember that it was you who said he wished the Irish would all go back to where they came from.
