    Its interesting to read that some posters believe that a state visit to the Republic by an Englich monarch, in some way proves how Ireland an a nation 'has moved on' from the bad old days.
    Well, the Republic is only a partial nation, six counties remain 'detached' from the national territory, by an anti Irish political agreement 90 years old. As long as that remains the case, no head of that state should ever be awarded an official welcome.

    Either that, or sell yourself short,by being satisfied at being just a little less Irish than you really are, depends how you can live with yourself I suppose.
    I can live with myself just fine.

    What's a west Brit? It's something that's thrown around a lot on Boards but never actually defined.

    Think you will find more indifference than support.

    Judging by the poll on Joe D yesterday, 2/3 of Irish people are west-Brits according to your definition.

    This is too costly but some on here what the Republic to fund a United Ireland ASAP. Kind of wacko.
    I didnt say 'she' was the one standing in the way of anything. But 'she' is the head of state, of Britain.

    Maybe your right, why put freedom ahead of economics?

    Getting a roll started here. I will put the 'Indo' down as on the 'partionist' side of things.

    I find it odd that the citizens of a Republic would fall over themselves in support of a visit by a member of an archaic and discriminatory Monarchy. Republicanism (The desire to live in a republic) is still deemed a treasonous act in the UK under the Treason Felony Act.

    I also find it interesting that this visit has found support by those who think the government spend tax money rather easily, just how much will this visit end up costing the tax payer, is this the right time for such a visit?

    So I object to this visit the same way I would object to any visit by any member of any monarchy.

    This might be news to you, but we do live in a republic. If it's an act of treason in the UK, then they've really got some work to do on their airport security checks. I've got through dozens of times.

    Are you saying no one in this thread has come out in support of this? Or is it because I framed this support as falling over themselves?

    As I said in an earlier post i have no strong feelings on whether the Queen visits or not. I'm certainly not going to protest against it and she would be far more welcome to a cup of tea in my house than would Brian Cowen.
    What I would like to know is, will those who are protesting the visit also protest the visit of the Pope? After all, it was the Pope who authorised the English invasion of Ireland, it most likely wouldn't have happened without his say so.

    It's not news at all eightyfish, that's why I said it was odd that those who lived and presumably liked living in a republic would welcome this. I myself live in the North.

    Falling over themselves.

    At least keep the discussion in the realm of reality.

    I will not protest the visit of the Queen, nor will I support it. Likewise I would not protest nor support the visit of the Pope.
