We are moving towards a united Ireland, but on the back of Brexit? No

Right now they are looking at saying if you want Brexit then there has to be a border ( which both sides are against) or vote for a United Ireland

For those of us who voted Brexit and don't want a united Ireland, well it means our voices won't be heard

( when I say we, I mean the collective we, and not necessarily my own personal opinion )

The Irish - those living in Eire, or The South of Ireland

They live quite happily and play nicely with each other, its when they are expected to play nicely with the British in Northern Ireland that problems start

You are born and living in the northern part of Ireland and you call yourself english. Seems the same as being born in London and calling yourself Maroccan. Which is possible, but doesn't make London part of Marocco.

I don't think anyone (even the dictatorial EU) could force you into uniting with Eire if you don't want to.

I foresee two possible eventualities: the UK remaining in the EU, along with riots on the streets; and Brexit taking place as voted for - completely, without any compromises, without our paying the EU's ransom, along with Treason May losing her seat in government.

No need to say which of the two I hope for!

Re: Trying to get the Irish on same page

But who is making the border such a problem??

If a border is needed why not at the ports as in most island countries?

We in the North do not want a border

Im pretty sure the normal working wo/man in the south doesn't want one either
