Very true Mrrzy.

In what way has the rest of the UK tried to force Northern Ireland to remain in the Union with the UK Kevin? In December 1922 the whole of Ireland was given it's independence as a united entity, within 24 hours the six counties that formed what we know now as Northern Ireland declared their wish that they wanted no part of a united Ireland governed by Dublin and sought to remain as part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, the Act that enabled them to exercise this choice was the 1920 Government of Ireland Act and the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty that ended the Irish War of Independence.

What I support Jim is the right of self-determination, what I support is the rule of law and order, both of which you seem to be against. The people of Northern Ireland will decide THEIR fate and future - not some myth believing fantasist with a gun in one hand and a bomb in the other.
