"we'd happily dump NI on anyone daft enough to take it" Have you told Ireland that? Are you sure Ireland wants it? "United Ulster Maniac faction Transplanted Brits, right?" And you are "transplanted" from somewhere else in the same manner that those people in Northern Ireland are transplanted Brits. We'll piss off whomever we please, thank, ou. LOL, your in a very calm mood today...

Have you told Ireland that? Check the Sinn Fein vote in the South. It's low (slightly higher now that every other party has disclaimed NI, and SF seems to have disavowed terrorism). You think the south wants a large minority of murderous, drugrunning thugs and bigots becoming parasitic on its economy? Transplanted Brits, right? Wrong... mainly Scots (ancestral Picts, in fact, blood brothers to those in NI) with a few Dutch - hence 'Orangemen'. We were the first (in 1775). Think you'd have done better as a Spanish colony? Cast your eyes southwards... And it took you another 130 years to find a way out? It was 70 years before enough of us had the vote to make a difference. Then we had to hammer sense into the inbred, which isn't fast. But also true, even we weren't perfect. We advance by knowing this and admitting it <hint>. vrai = true We'll piss off whomever we please, thank, ou. Then go well covered, for soon you shall find them pissing on thee...
