Starting to think Tony's new Northern Irishness thing might not be such a bad idea after all....

Because he can't get a " Northern Irish" one perhaps?

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passports are definitely still on the go

Irish passport holder,but previously held a British one which I needed in a hurry and was easier to obtain back in the day

Why do you have an Irish passport when you don't see yourself as Irish?

Anybody know any good resources to self teach?

If gay marriage comes in here what will you do then? Emigrate to Vatican city?

Apples you can forge a common N Irish identity which overrides the obsolete nationalist and unionist philosophies and relegates them both to insignificance,in a constitutionally agnostic fashion.

What is the alternative? Continue with the sterile status quo deadlock of unionist and nationalist tribalism, with neither side capable of winning yet refusing to compromise,and the political paralysis that inevitably accrues.

You're talking about 'Ulster' nationalism - already has it's own fleg and everything.

A compromise? Throwing away your right to national sovereignty is not a compromise its a total surrender and irreversible too.Akin to the Brits allowing Hitler free passage into Britain in the 1940s to avoid blood letting.

Your comparison with Britain and Hitler is just incredibly stupid.

If you read Article 2 it confirms that it is your birthright to be part of the Irish nation. If you reject that then its up to you but you can't say the ROI is rejecting you when the opposite is written into the constitution.

What is it about 90%plus of the Southern Electorate voted to remove Articles 2 and 3 and the Dublin Govt files NI under Foreign Affairs that you dont understand.You cannot aspire to unite with and entity and people who don't desire unity.

The amendment of articles 2 and 3 was a compromise as part of the GFA - but you already know that.

Is this Irish rugby legend not correct in this assessment?

Why didn't all the German men 18-60 just fight to get that Hitler removed from office........
That Stew is something else.

An idiot is what he is. How does the Syrian war compare with the wars you have fought in Stew? Brave man that you are.

So they are cowards then, is that it? My country never went to war with anybody you balloon!

You bravely chastise others for not fighting in a war when you have zero experience of what it might be like to have to live in a war zone. According to you they should all just stay and fight to the death in a war which is not of their making as the US, EU, NATO, Russia, Turkey, etc. all move their chess pieces around. You truly are a cretin.

The Hunter starring Willem Dafoe on Netflix was worth a watch.

Seriously I have found in recent years a greater match,in terms of cultural affinity,between the North and the West of Scotland,than between North and South.

Anyone who thinks the Dublin Government aspires to Unity,beyond occasional rhetoric (and even that is never used by FG) seriously needs to have their head examined.We are generally regarded in the South as a different and separate people,as we are similarly in the UK.

Just the west of Scotland? Should the East Scottish be considered a different nation of people altogether?

There are substantial core cultural differences between northern and southern nationalists never mind unionists.But the 26 county mindset now,after 100 years of partition,is that the North and its people are a different entity and not to be touched with a barge pole.The same attitude multiplied by 5 obtains in the UK

Wtf are these core differences?? Every example you've given so far has been a load of pish!
