Now if England can only recognize Ireland......
England / UK recognised Ireland as an independent state way back in the early 20th century, what to do with about the sixth of the population who live in the north that’s the problem. If Dublin or any arm chair IRA fan yank has a better answer than the Good Friday agreement and the current evolutionary tack toward unification then I’m sure we’d all give it a hearing
@kevcvs57 saidWell that's good news, anyway.
the current evolutionary tack toward unification
Not in favor of 'island-splits.' Hispaniola, New Guinea, Cyprus, and Ireland should all be single nations.
@fartacus saidNo.
Isn't Palestine a country?
This is like...THE whole problem. If you missed this part, then ... smdh.

@fartacus saidPalestine is a country that belong to the Jews.
Ireland isn't relevant in anything.
Isn't Palestine a country? I'm confused about this recognized state business and I'm too lazy to look it up.
Israel = Palestine.
Palestinians is NOT Palestine.
It is the name given to the Arabs who lived there.
Palestine is the country, now Israel
Palestinians is the people of Arab descent.
Palestine never existed as a country except when Israel took it over. It was always part of some Empire for over 2000 years after the Romans chased out the Jews.
Ireland by the way is a second rate country putting their mouth where it does not belong. They are another failed people just like Palestinians. South Africa is another failed state, who support Palestinians.
You would notice that failures support failures, and breed more failure.
Its a fact of life.

@spruce112358 saidYes they definitely should but history has a way of kicking the common sense present in gut.

@sonhouse saidI know what you were talking about but Dublin has refused to take circa half a million die hard ‘loyalists’ into ther body politic.
@kevcvs57
I was talking about Northern Ireland who have sided with England. Let me rephrase that, when will Northern Ireland be part of Ireland and chuck the link to Britain? The brits hung on to Northern Ireland because it is the industrial part and the money maker of Ireland.
The good news is that the younger portion of the ‘loyalist’ community are moving toward a United Ireland in the EU but short of an asteroid dinosaurs don’t de out overnight.
