I'd like to address this ongoing BS about shopping in the North being 'unpatriotic'.
We've heard that sort of BS from the gombeen kleptocrats of Fianna Fail, and I'd expect nothing less than partitionist language from the 'Republican' party.
But it is tremendously dismaying to see the same terminology used on this site by otherwise apparently intelligent people.
It is NOT unpatriotic to shop in the North of Ireland because it is the North of IRELAND.
It may be to the detriment of businesses and indeed entire towns, and even the exchequer of the Southern government.
But it is not unpatriotic. You're still shopping in Ireland.
