The tone of your post is anger that someone is doing something that is in their best interests, not yours. Most people would call that healthy politics, but you say how dare us and there will be a price to pay. So I stand by my comment, there is no substance to your comment.
We're not all 'Little Englanders' over here matey, some of us have internationalist credentials.

Re: The Irish Border Problem
But nationality comes down to people not geography surely? How many countries are there in, say, Africa. Using the same argument of geography then, shouldn't they be unified? While ever the majority wish to remain as a separate nation shouldn't that stance be respected and really why should we, who live in another country altogether, even pontificate on the matter?08-12-2017, 04:23 PM

Which wouldn't happen because Britain would have invaded and kicked us out years ago. But if say they didn't/couldn't and today a part of the UK mainland was Irish. Can you imagine the uproar! The people now against Irish unification would be demanding the unification of the UK.
