How will he EU deal with that conundrum.....?

Let's face it , the IRA used to have a romanticism attached to it's armed struggle in some European countries ( and the USA) but Jihadist atrocities have shown the reality of terrorism . Not so romantic when they are running around Paris, Madrid and New York are they, Solly?

Well, at least the IRA are polite and give you a call to tell you where the bomb is before they blow you up

They can simply inquire with the british parliament. The ira has some seats there, and it doesn't seem to bother the pm, or does it?

We had our terrorist attack in 1975 (Train at wijster). You can look up how it was handled.

Thank you for those encouraging words. So you get used to it? Like you did by now?
As soon as austerity starts over here I will let you know.

No. We haven't. I'm not quite sure why there is a myth that austerity is over. Only those who are blind can say "we got over it". There are more and more homeless. It's as though we are diverging from accepting reality.

You might want to learn what a deficit is and how much the UKs deficit has been reduced.

And you see a relation between your people living under austerity and diminishing deficit, and the promises by boris which will increase borrowing and increase the deficit?.
