I must stop eating cheese.. I am under the impression I agree with Keith's last post.

You can't compare a country of yesterday with one of today. The role of the Westminster government in Ireland before any of us were even thought of is totally irrelevant.

Israel however are ignoring 45 UN resolutions to this day. Both The UK and Ireland, together with the rest of the civilised world (a quick way of saying except USA) support the resolutions. Resolutions using words which Jim and I are apparently making up....

As I said, some say good old Keith.
