What bothers me a lot, Guest, is that you seem to think SF would be better for the ROI.

It is not that the country deserves less after all the suffering of ecomomic boycott - 1949 - unitl fairly recently. Indeed nobody, Nigerian or otherwise, would have wanted to live in such misery; rather it is the almost confederate attitude of so called Nationalists of those days - we see them again today! - that could again turn the Island into The Banana Republic of Slaintebackshooting.

You see Guest the reason why it was in such a mess after the end of WW2 was not because the British had continued an embargo but the very folks who were supposed to be helping the people were busy - see Argentina today - lining their pockets from the few bob the Emigrant workers on British building sites sent back.

The lazy nationalist heros got well paid jobs in Aerlingus, RTE, Bank of Ireland, the Garda Shiochona and so on, and to make what was a bad situation worse these great err men ... made certain Ireland would remain isolated, ignorant and POOR! by making travel to it a RANSOM, by deliberately destroying native Industry, by kissing foreign = American and British ass - in legaly banning the public accesss to the technologies that would have empowered them, ie Radio and Electronics YES SIR they did this and more!

While the good people of that country slaved away in Britain they seen people like you attack with bombs and guns the very people who put food on their tables - the British - the very people who were it not for Dev and his eejit mentality, would have given the wee island a leg up long long ago.

At home the SF mentality worked at shoving a dead language down their throats and made that the condition of employment - Joe Stalin would've been proud of them! - by telling little children the cause of all the misfortunes in their lives was the British they guaranteed yet another 50 years of mayhem, pogram and murder. It was folks like you who on the one hand went around spouting hatred and division - I am surprised the Church of Ireland did not organise it's own rebellion - all the while sucking the pockets of a poor nation until she almost BLED TO DEATH. SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME on you and you kind!

Allowing the North to be goverened by eeejits like you will never ever happen and here is why. Not only do the Loyalists majority not want it, but the Irish diaspora in the UK as well, because they of all the Irish best know what a croc of shit you and your kind are!

Now I feel slighly better - pass me a large Brown Ale and a pack of Crisps.
