    In very small doses and not when you're on home turf.

    So you're saying there's a chance?

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I doubt anyone really cares. I just replied again because of Mr smarthole above making his little funny.

    I wouldn't take it as a huge issue though.

    Ah yeah, I don't care really.

    Well, maybe a bit :pac:

    They're not taught about it in school. Actually I'm not sure what they're taught in school. When I worked in the UK I had a better knowledge of UK geography and history than most of my colleagues.

    Here's the thing.if you don't know much about something you're meant to keep your mouth shut.english people claiming ignorance is a bit much seems as they're still quiet loud when voicing an opinion on Ireland.

    English peoples knowledge of Ireland is slim to none.

    Correct and I've always found that expectation that it be otherwise a bit much.

    I mean the Paddy on the street doesn't know who the Tolpuddle martyrs were or where Dorset is on a map. Nor should they for that matter.

    I don't worry about egomaniac politicos or ****stirring journo opinions. I only care about the relationships between the average citizens. Right now, things between Ireland and UK are very good indeed.

    Dorset is a county of less than a million people.far less significant that the U.K's only land border.

    In the UK, the voters know best. They kick the politicians in the arse and the politicians scramble to do their bidding. Boris Johnson is trying to carry out the will of the British people, knowing that a kick in the arse awaits him if he does not deliver.

    The people who write for The Sun are angry because Simon and Leo do not want to give Boris and Teresa what The Sun wants:
    So we have a stalemate with both sides agreeing that they had very constructive meetings, with nothing very constructive having been done.

    Welcome to Borisland.

    Boris Johnston was not and is not a politician. He has always been a politician by title but everyone always knew him to be nothing but a mascot to cheer people up and distract them from politics.

    When Brexit occured, he was thrown into the political life and exposed as a fraud. He shat himself at the thought of going for the PM job.

    So it's just fantasy, and there was me thinking that Republicans wanted to embrace their Unionist brothers or is it to smother the life out of them?

    The original name was Tolpiddle - it was changed for some reason.
