    It must kill you to be so cut off from your brethren.

    If your brethren in Alba have anything to do with it Keith-M they will be cutting off from you permanently a la SNP.[/quote:3pz0raat]

    They thought that 30 years ago too and nothing has happened.
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.

    If you hate Ireland so much, what the f*ck are you doing here? Why don't you jump on a plane and go live amongst those whom you consider to be your betters.

    Its a win win, you spend your days drooling and trying to perfect an accent akin to speaking with a mouthful of marbles, and Ireland has one less west-brit Stockholm syndromed lemming on her soil who excels in boring the overwhelming majority of us to tears with his incessant whining.

    F*CK OFF

    Hi im genuinely not wumming. But i have been looking for a stats breakdown on Unionist v Nationalists in the Northern districts. All i can find is UK census 2001. And the Northern Ireland section wont open. Its County Fermanagh i am most interested in. And also i have a question in relation to a unification referendum. If it was held is it just a majority wins or is it a two thirds majority?

    The meaning of the word "partitionist" is dubious enough already. What, precisely, is a "crypto partitionist"?
    "Elite - a small superior group; esp one that has a power out of proportion to its size." (Oxford English Dictionary)

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Nevermind borders something as simple as a flag could be a bigger problem.
