Well, imagine you had really awful neighbours.. Neighbours who demanded your house from you then gave ownership to fellow awful people and demanded you then pay them to live there. Neighbours who would demand all your food and let you and your family starve to death...

Would you want to join those neighbours and their neighbours in a wee get together?

Most intelligent people in England bear no ill-will toward the Irish, and the people who were involved in dividing the country are many years dead. What's more, if they were asked, most English people would say that they wished for Ireland whatever the Irish people wished for themselves. No one was listening when the IRA was blowing up civilians, but the English have forgiven them for that. Now there is a fragile peace, I think everyone wants the best for Ireland and for the peace to be permanent. The fact is that some people in Northern Ireland want to remain British, which is a problem. Beats me why we don't all try to get on.

I think that's a great post and I agree with a lot of it, but just referring back to other posts when someone says "you should be part of the UK" it's a stupid comment to make we like our independance....
