….with a twinkle in his eye and representatives of the Republic and Northern Ireland in the room. Saying he likes a good merger…. he is entertaining.
Could this be a new policy, a joke which suddenly becomes serious. Leadership by comedy, it has some merit.
I bet you also loved the twinkle in his eye when he referred to the Irish president as a man.
LMAO!
What an absolute clown!
"Look, he's (sic) lucky I exist."
We're all so lucky Bozo exists. So much winning.
And such a classy person too. Churchill must be wishing from the grave that he had Bozo's class.
Just by the way, this is what Irish president Catherine Connolly said last week . . .
"The violations of international law we are witnessing are shocking and numbing, but we cannot afford inaction,” she said. “What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes. They are deliberate assaults on international law, the international laws that have underpinned global peace for eighty years.
We must name them as such, without euphemism and without equivocation."
Now there's a touch of class if you ask me. Not nearly as impressed with Micheal Martin who was happy to do a bit of fawning of his own . . . although in his defence, that must have been the most awkward hour of his life.
Ireland will merge. Catholics have more kids that protestants, so this has been enviable. Any day now, Northen Ireland will vote to join Southern Ireland and become one.
Now there's a touch of class if you ask me.
Wasted... it would have gone right over the head of the classless hillbilly, Trump.
Leadership by comedy
Well he is funny, just not intentionally so.
Ireland will merge. Catholics have more kids that protestants, so this has been enviable. Any day now, Northen Ireland will vote to join Southern Ireland and become one.
The Catholic/Protestant divide in Northern Ireland is no longer a 1 to 1 indicator of whether a person is a loyalist or a nationalists, there is a developing middle ground in the North with members of both religions who no longer really identify themselves as nationalist or loyalist.
Still a majority of people in Northern Ireland presently favour remaining in the Union with Great Britain. As long as that is the case the status quo will remain the same regardless of what any politician suggest.

If the world goes back to colonisation, I think the UK should take Ireland. They have missed us, and many say Oliver Cromwell was underrated.

Damn that means poor Belgium gets the Congo again.
I think they'll pas this time around.
And back at the ranch... the new Britain is slowly emerging

Or given what those nasty Belgians did, the poor Congo gets Belgium again. DA unfortunately one needs a subscription to read this.

Not really worth the effort. Just a very angry anti-Islam article.
DA I get that you don't like them. We don't understand their culture though just as they don't understand ours.
We'd all do a lot better to try and understand the other side a bit better. We can't imagine living in an Islamic state just as they can't imagine living outside it.
To us they're religious fanatics and to them we're greedy capitalist heathens.
"We'd all do a lot better to try and understand the other side a bit better. We can't imagine living in an Islamic state just as they can't imagine living outside it."
Then they should stay there ...I really don't care what they believe...the thing is, they believe in world domination ..either by conquest, subversion or whatever other way possible... that's not compatible with our way of life...they can't leave us be, they must conquer us one way or another...there will forever be conflict....I have met some wonderfully kind and educated Moslem people, but deep down their doctrine will always lead to conflict...I don't hate them, I just don't want to live in their world and coexistence only works while they are the small minority.
Read it DA thanks……that’s a useful trick. Becs said years ago that London wasn’t England anymore. I was there last a few years back and there is no doubt it’s a different city. These days I prefer traveling to places like Greece that seems to have preserved its culture more carefully.
Without a religious purpose like the Muslims there is no right or wrong, just what the public wants. I often wonder if much of the enthusiasm in Europe for these immigrant cultures isn’t rooted in sport. Premier League teams are mostly from immigrant roots…..the French national soccer team seems all immigrant based.
It's like your living back in the era of the Crusades.
Oh, I'm not in the era of the Crusaders, radical Islam is... I'm all for live and let live.

Well said Draad

Wrong again, and another incorrect assumption
I don't mind them at all, and that is being genuinely honest......but I categorically do not like what is happening to the UK...and that does not just include Muslims
And when you start chasing people away who are practising Christianity on a public street....whilst shouting that this is a Muslim area, it becomes concerning.

Unfortunately live and let live didn’t work out for Epstein.

Yes yes, you are...but it's not mostly not Christian ideology motivating your fear of Muslims but it's your political ideology...the right wing always needs an enemy to be afraid of...use to be communists now it's Islam.
It's funny though I thought Christianity teach loved and tolerance for others...and despite being an atheist I reckon I'm a better Christian than most Christians.

My word you are brilliant….still not condemning your own terrorist organization though….the one that blows up horses in parks and old men in boats.
You do know that South Africans have lived with Muslims for centuries without any religious conflict? Hmmm, probably not….often wrong, never uncertain.
My own terrorist organization?
I didn't know I owned one...that's new to me. Do I get to claim them as an expense on my tax
returns?
I love that you think this is some sort of gotcha
I've condemned the IRA (of the troubles, not the civil war IRA, they are two distinct versions) on other posts in the past, I've never supported them or expressed support, I'll freely admit they were murdering terrorists.
I just don't bother responding to when you post this crap as an obvious deflection away from whatever the thread is about (usually Trump making a tit out of himself on the world state)

Explain how that has anything to do with the thread. Would that be an ‘obvious deflection’
The thread was already derailed at that point.

Ideology se gat... it's my observations ..Oct 7, 911,... multiple suicide bombers...a very long list... I'm not the one yelling Death to Islam or whatever nonsense... It's really this simple: look at the rights of Moslems in Christian countries and then look at the rights of Christians in Moslem countries... that's what happens when they get to be the majority and I don't want to live like that.
Mozart, you're appearing anti-European and particularly anti-Irish.
Now I don't think you're naturally anti-Irish (and when it comes to rugby, who isn't) but you're basically trying to diminish Stav's point of view by attacking everything Irish.
Stav makes a lot of very valid points. Most posters will agree on that, even the ones that hate him for making those points. Disagree with him as much as you like but neither of you are fools and you both know it.
You're stooping a bit here my friend. You're better than that.
I know Stav as a fellow liberal (in the sane sense) with a good sense of humour that doesn't quite hide his very firm convictions. He's also good on rugby. The only thing that puzzles me about Stav is why the South African connection. No matter, it's his business, not mine. I think Stav is one of the best additions to this board I can remember.
I like people with strong convictions. I think of you as one of those.as well. Keep it above the belt.
Bloody hell Rooi...the universe has shifted...glad you got rid of whatever it was.
Actually I really like most Irish people I have met. The Irish club in Athens made me an honorary member because I knew and could modestly render most of their songs. I was also friendly with Tony O’Reilly, we used to discuss South Africa and rugby at association meetings we both attended. I have many friends with Irish roots.
So no real Irish animus. But Anger is very critical of the USA and sometimes dismissive of South Africans. He invites a response. As for the sense of humor, sadly I have never seen it. He seems to be mostly talking down to other posters….a bit of a school marm.
But I actually don’t have a problem with differing opinions and with your strong endorsement I’ll reserve judgement.
Now I don't think you're naturally anti-Irish (and when it comes to rugby, who isn't)

Begorra ... some shameful comments ... grrrr.
Stavie = a liberal
Liberals = individual freedom
The type of individual freedom that allows for the criticising of ANY religion to any degree that the user sees fit.
Blasphemy laws and the very idea of punishing people for blasphemy is a foreign concept in the West. Have a look at some of Shark's comments on Christianity over the years. That's what individual freedom is about.
Now, I double dare you, Stav - I'll get an unlocked AI I have to create a depiction of Allah, then I'll have it printed onto a T-shirt for you, post you the T-shirt and ask you to go and stand outside a mosque wearing said t-shirt. Any mosque, anywhere on mud island.
If you survive, I'd then ask you to come back here and tell Draad his problem with Islam is a political one, as though it's some kind of gotcha.
Of course it's a political one. Geez, are you just now figuring that out? Why do you think Draad, or anybody else, doesn't have a problem with Jews, Hindus, Taoist, Sikhism, etc?
I'll give you a hint, it's because the people practicing those religions don't promote and practice things which are incompatible with secular Western society.
Apparently the right always need someone to fear? At least they have the balls to stand up to ideologies that are counter to the principals that you are supposed to set out from if you truly are a secular liberal who appreciates the right to individual freedom.
Send me an address and I'll post the T-shirt ;)
