Signing off this page now. It's not a debate. It's an echo chamber. No truth in half of what is said here, only opinion masquerading as fact. No point giving a counter argument because it's ignored....

He never said 'Third World', he said 'Third Country'. I note your sensitivity towards him. I won't display the same sensitivity towards your politicians in some of the insulting comments they make...

With the greatest respect, our Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, never used any vitriol against anybody. Your personalised attack on him, 'very haughty and smug', is offensive. Totally uncalled for and...

That is all your opinion! The wrongs Ireland do to England continues to come up on this forum. You are talking in an echo chamber. Ireland is only looking after its own interests, the same as the UK...

Have you forgotten your comment about holding on to Ireland in 1921, the 'whole lot of it' as you put it? Now you act like an innocent bystander wondering what all the fuss was about. It was a...

I do assure you I do not have a low opinion of England or English people, but I will defend when I feel insulted and undermined as the post I was responding to was clearly doing. And I never once...

And there you have it in a nutshell! Just scratch and there it is, the old, bigoted, imperialist Englander underneath his Brexit guise! 'We'd have it (Ireland) as our own', you say. Cheek. Haven't...

Thank God the founding fathers of America were not as blinkered as the Little Englanders are today. There'd be no United States if they were. We'd still have New England, New Hampshire, Texas, etc,...

Greatest Nonsense

I've heard it all now. This is the greatest nonsense I've heard in a long time. Don't know why I bother coming on this site. It's just an echo chamber, people listening to their own views and those...

The truth is you have a vote - for members of the European Parliament and in turn, government's votes for their member of the European Commission. Why is that so different from voting for your MP,...

Hello JBR. I've heard this before, conspiracy theories, etc. Why would you say I would personally benefit from the UK remaining in the EU? Of course, the Irish economy will suffer, but so too will...

Guarantee: When the dust settles, in say ten years time or so, Britain's problems will remain much the same as they are today, but possibly a whole lot worse. Take immigration, for instance. My...

Okay, you're right, all the above is paid off in full. I can admit when I'm wrong. But the loan to the UK has a break clause which means it's not economical to pay off early. It earns quite a bit in...

You got that off the internet. The loan to the UK has a break clause but essentially has been repaid in full. Does that make you feel better? Angry man.

What I don't get are the Union flags. I went to the Giants Causeway with some American visitors one time and was made to feel very unwelcome in a town I can't remember the name of. God, I felt like...

I agree with you. We are slowly merging, but Brexit doesn't help. People are basically the same wherever you go, the difference, is social, educational, colour, whatever. If we can just see that we...

As I said before, the UK was part of a group of countries that contributed. All have now been fully repaid. Repeat, all have been repaid. In full. Sweden had a similar arrangement in the 1980s when...

Just for the record, Irish nationalists boycotted that 1973 referendum, which was called a border pole at the time. I am Irish but I don't see Ireland being reunified anytime soon. And that's fine...
