• 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).
