A United Ireland. Opening up the discussion.

[T Fearon]

I don't see any evidence to the contrary that this letter is not representative of the predominant view in the South.Where is the whisper never mind the clamour for a United Ireland, the letters to the papers demanding it,or even one Southern based political commentator calling for it? Instead NI comes under the Dublin Govt's "Foreign Affairs" Dept.If the southern populace and government were one tenth as exercised about uniting Ireland as they are about Brexit, that would be something.

Until Nationalists in the North come out and vote in large numbers for Nationalist parties a UI won't be on any agenda.

Huge difference between "favouring" something in a vox pop,as opposed to considering all the implications then going to a polling station to cast a vote

Have you not just posted a link to a tweet of a picture of one person's letter to a newspaper? Doesn't carry much constitutional weight either, does it?

Until.nationalists stop watching unionist filth such as strictly come dancing and the great British bake off it is hard to see anything changing.

Are these shows not watched in the South too? When ever Im down there I can never access BBC NI its always BBC London.

AZ am I missing something with baseball?... How can you tell from that GIF whether its a stike or hit?
Americans seem to be able to tell no problem, but the only way I can tell is if the camera remains on the batter its a stirke (or ball) or if the camera pans out to where the ball is then its a hit

Just to be pedantic the original Brits were actually Celtic and cousins of the Irish, pushed of their lands by the Angles, saxons and Jutes amongst others.
