So I assume you would back giving Northern Ireland back to the Irish as they inhabit the same bit of rock?

I’m starting to think it might be a good idea to break up the union, it might give Westminster politicians some sense of reality about where we stand in the world instead of constantly trying to ‘punch above our weight’ at vast cost.

Perhaps Etonians don’t get the boxing analogy where 99.9% of fighters who try to box above their weight, get beaten.

BTW.. while we talk of fighting....The Scots have defended Britain to the the tune of twice the man loss level of England since the Union and you ask if we can defend ourselves?
