As I said, if it is important to both sides, they will find a solution that does Include killing each other.

Have you read the history of this planet?

Yes. That’s why it is so important that they come to an agreement.

So wishes and dreams.

Got it.

And what are you wishing and dreaming for, the resumption of violence?

Samm · 2020-02-04T18:08:34.859Z

So you give it no hope? They are doomed to violence?

Nope.

Just preparing for the likelihood.

You do know that this was one of the most major issues that they can’t resolve because every choice is bad for them… right?

They have gone a full generation without violence, I would rather expect that they would have gotten used to it.

Well… let’s put back into place what exacerbated the violence for decades and see.

Oops… violence…

Now what?

Samm · 2020-02-04T18:31:05.350Z

Yep … wallowing in your beer.

Yeah they only had a level of terrorism equivalent to Israel during the Intifada for thirty plus years and a history of hundreds of years of rebellion. The IRA almost assassinated the Queen and blew up the literal entire Conservative Party. What could go wrong?

The Republican and Orangemen militias have already said they’ll start demolishing and blowing up any border checkpoints the second they start trying to build them. And the border is one of the goofiest borders in the world, crossing through people’s houses and ■■■■■

Back to the subject of Brexit i am proud that the UK has regained their freedom and no longer have to bow a knee to unelected yahoos in the EU.

Kudos to the UK!

Uh, the European Parliament is elected.

A lot of the Protestant loyalists in N.I would like a hard border because it would mean less likelihood of a united Ireland,unfortunately if the dissident republicans attack the border and border guards the loyalist paramilitaries will start the tit for tat killings like they did in the past.

Although people say there has been peace for a generation it isn’t quite true.There are still riots during the walking season,there is still a huge barrier dividing parts of Belfast along religious lines.It won’t take much to set it all off again

Interestingly enough an attempted terrorist attack failed when police managed to locate and defuse the bomb.I didn’t expect anything to happen so soon

BBC News

Police believe CIRA planted bomb intended for 'Brexit day' attack

The PSNI initially received a report about an explosive device at Belfast docks on 31 January.

@MoleUK @Tommy-Englander what will the impact of the Irish election result, and particularly the resurgence of Sinn Fein, have in complicating the Ireland-Northern Ireland border negotiation and resolution in the wake of Brexit?

Tommy-Englander · 2020-02-09T12:22:50.985Z

It’s looking like a tie between the 3 main parties but I don’t think any parties in the South would be seen to back a hard border.I honestly don’t see a viable solution to this problem that will be accepted on both sides of the border and the EU itself.This is why I believe we should’ve sorted out things like this before leaving but Boris knew better.

Why? lol

eh…typical responses to more freedom and autonomy

I thought libs liked Freedom though?

Not the modern “liberal”, which is why that name really no longer applies.

westaussie · 2020-02-09T16:37:32.036Z

Looks like Sinn Fein might have a significant role to play in the negotiations of the Ireland/Northern Ireland border based on the current projections of seats won.

TommyLucchese · 2020-02-09T17:52:25.950Z

How in the world did Sinn Fein get so many seats in the Dail? They’ve always been kinda an afterthought in the Republic, right?

When has not knowing the actual details of what’s actually being debated ever stopped some people from having strong opinions before?

Tommy-Englander · 2020-02-10T03:30:16.211Z

Since Gerry Adams stepped down as leader,there support in the South has really grown.The present leader Mary Lou McDonald represents Dublin and hasn’t got the paramilitary baggage Adams had which would preclude a lot of people supporting them and has made a real effort in the Republic to win votes,it seems to have paid off.

westaussie · 2020-02-10T07:00:21.930Z

With almost half (77 of 160) seats won Sinn Fein has won 29 seats, 13 more than the next party. It seems to me that this will complicate a resolution of bojo’s irrational Northern Ireland border plans.
