• as this would violate the UK's international obligations under the GFA

    And you think a majority in government or the population outside of NI cares why? Let's face it, the rest of the 'United Kingdom' very much likes to entirely disregard NI, its interests, or even its existence when there isn't a good reason to remember it.

  • Different viewpoint if you lived through the IRA bombing campaign on the 'mainland'.
    (Few more details it tonights Stii-yaahhl event).
    Back to resignations of the brexiteurs.

    On this note:

    Another Conservative MP has resigned as a parliamentary private secretary (PPS) over the Brexit deal. This is from Ranil Jayawardena, who was a PPS at the Ministry of Justice.

  • But that's the thing though, being an outsider, I just know what's actually currently being talked about. NI never really features much these days, most days you might as well not know it's part of the UK at all. I'm sure it was a huge thing back when bombings and bomb threats were happening all the time, but I have been getting the distinct impression that there is a complete and utter lack of interest in NI nowadays, from the side of England especially... plus a lot of genuine ignorance about what's going on there at all (not that I'd claim to be an expert of course).
