Re: CoronaVirus / Adolf Putin / The Apocalypse etc
Fucking right!.
Re: CoronaVirus / Adolf Putin / The Apocalypse etc
It's mainly Von de Leyen and her cohorts that want it , it weakens Britain and that's their aim . They will use any method they can and a few wannabee para militaries suit their purpose. Remember Verhofstad was recorded saying "" If all else fails , we can always use Ireland "".Almunia is a clown wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 7:20 pmTotally one sided view, similar to the Chelsea Nazi support. There's no UI unless the whole of Ireland votes for it in democratic referendums. That's what the GFA was all about.
No one gives a shite in Britain about this bollox , opinion polls are always in favour of UI in Britain for decades.
As for Sinn Fein their days are numbered if & when that happens, they even can't get into power in Dublin nowadays even if they are the biggest party as apart from a few hard left loving Putin bung crusty types no other parties will join up with them in a coalition government.
In an All Ireland government SF would have no serious allies & would have no say in how it would be run. An All Ireland government would actually have even better relations with the British government & SF would be finished for good.

Anyone who might want to know about how Putin came to Power and how he made sure all the Oligarchs did as they were told is explain in this most excellent interview with the renowned historian Steve Kotkin....
Sounds. a bit boring I know, but believe me it isn't

I don't care what UI opinion polls say, if there was a referendum and the realities of becoming part of the ROI are explained, then I think it would be rejected by a lot of so called "Nationalists".A11M11 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 10:02 amIt's mainly Von de Leyen and her cohorts that want it , it weakens Britain and that's their aim .

Even Sinn Feiners themselves would be hiding which box they put their X in.
Once they are made aware, "no more DLA"
"pay to visit the doctor" pay to visit the dentist" "pay for prescriptions" "pay to go into hospital"
Outside Dublin, the place is still a fucking third world country.
I work with a lad from Donegal who has a child with a medical condition, they have to travel 150 miles to Dublin for treatment!
I certainly wouldn't be voting for it, myself an my missus, have agreed we will move to mainland UK or abroad if it happens.
I also doubt that a majority in ROI would vote to take on the North, not just because of the financial implications, but because a UI would be met with a Loyalist terror campaign, that would bring shootings and bombings to all corners of the country.
I'd love to see a referendum so this romantic notion of a UI can be put to bed for my lifetime at least.

Re: CoronaVirus / Adolf Putin / The Apocalypse etc
You are right Sid. Outside of a few IRA-romanticising idiots no one in the South really wants a UI. It would destroy our economy having to carry the broken North with it's poor (mostly segregated) education system, sectarian-biased unemployment (we already have high enough unemployment here ffs!) , child poverty (highest in the UK) and far ranging mental health problems that the UK currently subsidises - the cost of the Prozac prescriptions because of "the Troubles narny narny" alone are astonishing! £18million a year - currently paid for by the British tax payer. Fucked if we want to take that on.goonersid wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 7:15 amI don't care what UI opinion polls say, if there was a referendum and the realities of becoming part of the ROI are explained, then I think it would be rejected by a lot of so called "Nationalists".A11M11 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 10:02 amIt's mainly Von de Leyen and her cohorts that want it , it weakens Britain and that's their aim .

Re: CoronaVirus / Adolf Putin / The Apocalypse etc
I have never been to Ireland and never will . Having grown up in the troubles and watched the effects of the annual Xmas IRA bombs in London I have no positive thoughts at all on Northern Ireland and in particular Belfast .
I find alf this sectarian stuff still unbelievable , different schools , hatred, death because someone is a different religion.
Do u know I don’t care what religion anŷone is as long as they treat me and my own ok .
Sorry luckily enough I have been sheltered from this , I hope it doesn’t kick off again friends .

I like Dublin and many other places down South, but have always found Galway over rated and remember visiting there in the 90's and it was quite clear their welcome was reserved for Yanks and certainly not for anyone from the North, I found Kerry to be the same.IW8Goalmachine wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 5:56 pmDo you have anything nice to say about the south at all?goonersid wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 12:42 pmThing is DB, take away the remaining minority extremists in both sides, Northern Ireland is thriving, there is plenty if work for those who want it and it's actually now a nice place to live.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 11:05 amYou are right Sid.

"pay to visit the doctor" pay to visit the dentist" "pay for prescriptions" "pay to go into hospital"
Outside Dublin, the place is still a fucking third world country.
I work with a lad from Donegal who has a child with a medical condition, they have to travel 150 miles to Dublin for treatment!
I certainly wouldn't be voting for it, myself an my missus, have agreed we will move to mainland UK or abroad if it happens.
I also doubt that a majority in ROI would vote to take on the North, not just because of the financial implications, but because a UI would be met with a Loyalist terror campaign, that would bring shootings and bombings to all corners of the country.
I'd love to see a referendum so this romantic notion of a UI can be put to bed for my lifetime at least.
Then the resulting Loyalist terror campaign would put Dublin right where Belfast was in the 1980s. We have enough shootings here with the drug gangs!
There is no real world benefit whatsoever to Ireland taking over the North. It would be an albatross around our neck.
Derry is unrecognisable from what it was in the late 80,s and early 90's.
There is a real pride here and rightly so, I would deny any body to come here and not be impressed by what Derry has to offer, from the Halloween celebrations to the annual Jazz and Blues festival.
Belfast is the same, years ago it would have been a no go for me, whereas now, me and the missus try to get a nite there 4 or 5 times a year.
I hear people rave in about places like Galway! It's a shithole and bye and large a not too friendly shithole.
I wish the unionist politicians would give the shinners their referendum and put the thing off the table for the next 50 years.
No way is Galway a shithole. It's known worldwide for a reason.
But Galway is a fucking cool city.
