By:
TBB, I'd say when you give us back our land that ye took from us, and have benefited from for over 800 yrs the bill would be on the OTHER foot!

really, and who was it built Dublin , who brought the industry to Belfast
What was Ireland before Britain ? I don't know, I can't remember and neither can you |
|
By:
Who educated the British only us Irish. Shaw, Joyce, Beckett, etc,I doubt there were too many British navvies shoveling cement in Dublin.Most of the British Landlords were too busy filling their big fat faces to be able to LIFT a shovel never mind USE one.....

Was Bill not a Welshman ?. Off to Punchestown to see if I can find a horse to take to Cheltenham to give ye Brits another bashing
. Talk soon mate. As an aside, we had a Queen called Maebh who used to invade Britain and take back prisoners . |
|
By:
: ) that was a long time ago, whatever happened 500 years ago doesn't bother me , I insist on being unbothered by that
Have a good day at Punchestown and good luck workrider |

By:
You know, even the banter here shows how similar the average Brit and the average Paddy is. Something to bear in mind over all this.

the irish ben played like a 2nd hand fiddle hear,banging the airwaves about this is to big a point not to be sorted before we move to trade, blah.blah just heard another on sky,but everyone no,s its all about the money and soon as the EU are happy with the money,the irish will be dragged in told what to do with the promise of a backhander at a later date, and some irish patsy will be put in front of the camera to tell the world what was far to big a problem to let go without a written agreement, will now be sorted later, all imo of course, but I,d say its 1,01
|

By:
Don't know about that 1st time, hasn't the UK pledged 50 billion so far to simply leave?, for that what have they got?, zilch.
Why not play hardball? the problem cannot easily be solved,give the EU zero til it is,simples, not sure you can name the fiddler. |

"and have benefited from for over 800 yrs" ,I would say the last 50 years would not have been Much benefit tbh

Well 750 still massive ...

once the uk go it alone they will be the poor relations .Some people do not get this point yet,and others will never realise it until it happens.as for the republic of ireland they will suffer seriously also.A BORDER WILL BRING BACK A WAR.(OTHERS DONT REALISE THIS)IT is a very serious situation and people should think what might happen .
I am not saying the troubles will start again but the possibilities are very much greater.And dont forget Scotland will want back into europe,. thats a cert !are the england people going to dole out half their wages on income tax each week to keep the BILLIONS going into Scotland that the EU give them each year. |

There will be a bit of a hangover after Brexit.
London and Dublin will be ok, outlying areas not so much. |
|
By:
the financial section in london will move to Europe,and London is the pumping heart of england.When the finance section moves away ,the uk will suffer a mother and father of a recession that was never seen before.Everyone will blame the Tory party ,but its members will have abandoned ship and moved to live in europe.
leaving the poor to clean up the mighty mess.  |

workrider TBB, I'd say when you give us back our land that ye took from us, and have benefited from for over 800 yrs the bill would be on the OTHER foot! Hasn't every poll down south in the last 20 years shown that those wanting a united Ireland are in the minority. |
|
By:
not now, the irish will take a united ireland if Europe agree to buy it them.ireland will never be free until they get their missing son back.
there is a song called "four green fields"it explains the feelings of the southern irish people |
|
By:
No brassie, it explains the feelings of the person who wrote the song.
 Last poll I read showed that at this time the majority of the ROI were content with the status quo. Within that statistic will be some who favour a united Ireland but don't feel the time is right for the move. |
|
By:
What brassneck doesn't realise is that it is quite possible the majority of Irish people didn't want independence or to break up the UK of Britain and Ireland 100 years ago ..they weren't asked
And as can be seen by the millions of Irish prople who have come to live in England and other parts of the UK since this pretendy 'independence' 100 years ago ( including brassneck himself you might notice )they may well have voted to maintain the union Well we will never know. |
|
By:
But it's a bit much for people like brassneck to gone on about Ireland's green fields when he is living in England
And it's a bit much to make an issue of the border in Ireland when living in England and voting in a UK referendum |
|
By:
It doesn't matter what type of border there is after we leave the EU
It will still be there in whatever form and will remain until the people of N. Ireland no longer want to be part of the UK When they wish to vote to leave the UK and firm a United Ireland they can VOTE to do so What's wrong with that ? I don't know . |
|
By:
perhaps brassneck might explain , his head is full of all sorts of silly ideas and unreliable imaginings
|
|
By:
How would you think the people of England would vote in a referendum regarding Northern Ireland LFc?
I would think they couldn't get rid of it fast enough myself. |
|
By:
It's not up to the people of England , it's the people of N. Ireland , isn't that good ?
I don't suppose you want the English to vote in a Scottish independence ref |
|
By:
As regards membership of the EU ?
Well people in Ireland , north and south , have a very privileged position After Brexit they alone of all European countries will maintain the automatic right to live and work in Britain and Europe They should, if they were sensible , keep as quiet as possible and hope nobody notices |
|
By:
No,it wasn't regarding EU membership. With your 08.32 post that isn't very democratic as it means no say despite it is where their tax money is going.
|
|
By:
well no one likes to pay tax , I think we can all agree that
|
|
By:
Build a wall and let the EU pay for it, that'll sort it.
Heard that idea somewhere before. Lol |
|
By:
Akabula, you been Scottish and having the English taxpayer pump billions into your Country must be a great comfort , ye want it both ways,didn't ye have a referendum awhile back giving ye the option of Independence,but ye got a cowardly result if I remember correctly.Cash is King I guess,can't have the Scots looking after themselves now can we,the might have to pay their own taxes,I'd hate to see the result! I'd say England would be choc a block in a week with ye ....

money rules the world , and doubtless also a little bit of love here and there
|
|
By:
Oh yeah, love of one's Country should come before money surely. Money is a commodity, love is worth more!

workrider, akabula sees his country through light blue glasses not dark blue ones.

If the UK don't want a border and Ireland don't want a border, and it is only the EU that want a border, and, we are leaving the EU, whose problem is it other than the EU and Ireland's?

By:
Not sure what point you were trying to make WR.

By:
dave unaware of the facts regarding the voting in the Scottish referendum.
If it was as he seems to be implying based on something other than political and economic considerations then the result would have been a landslide in favour of the Union. |
