    Two USCs. Says it all really. People won't even pay for water Miriam, let alone fund NI's public sector economy. Pearse, they get £10bn a year. You also need to account for the bundles of public sector workers that they have.

    This is brilliantly, hilariously terrible. I would pay good money to throw Vincent Browne into the mix :D

    I'm sure Nolan is enjoying the programme. Defeating Sinn Fein's pathetic arguments for a united Ireland is like shooting fish in a barrel.

    Who do they even ask for these surveys? Never in my life have I ever heard of anyone being asked for their opinion on anything like this.

    Tbh, I've never really understood people who take glee in the idea of 'defeating' the possibility of a United Ireland just to get one up on republicans. I'd like to think people would approach the issue with a bit more maturity and consideration.

    A NI Shiner is trying to sell a UI to an OO man on BBC. Making an utter mess of this. I can't believe how badly prepared SF are for this. Loving it, I have to say. Great entertainment.

    Why is that? I have no desire for one.

    I have been phoned a number of times.

    Not on this.

    My answer would be I don't want a United Ireland, too expensive and they have too many people obsessed with flags, marching and bonfires, not to mention an economy that is a basket case.

    I get a call about every 6 months from Red C, MRBI etc for opinion polls, ask me everything from who I would vote for to who does the most of the shopping in the house.

    So there you go you have now heard of one.

    I was not called about this one by the way.

    How many times are politicians accused of refusing to answer a question. Well for once one of them and did just that and he is being lambasted.

    My answer would be yes to a United Ireland in theory, but I'd want a lot more serious conversations about the logisitics of it, which people don't even seem willing to have.

    Christ. Never realised the NI identity was so popular. Outside of Belfast 25% consider themselves NI ish, 28% Irish and 41% British.

    "Two of your Grandparents fought in 1916"

    Who cares? Why does that make his opinion any more important than anyone elses.

    In 1916 they were apparently fighting for a Republic where your opinion wouldn't be more important because of what family you were born int.

    But when you're a member of a party that purports to want Irish Unity that's a doozy of a question to answer honestly.
