Except the rude cunt had made 0 effort to read an ingest the referendum debate as it went down on urban.


The astroturfers that came in pushing for an immigration lead Brexit didn't last two weeks here, thank fuck.
Yet another thing the more hysterical remainers got wrong....A sizable chunck of urban posters didn't out themselves as deep cover Nazi's by their vote in 2016 painting it that way helped no one.

And in the pre referendum debate on here that I missed, was the land border on the island of Ireland discussed? Especially the practicalities and the constraints of the Belfast Agreement?

I know I spent a fair bit of time differentiating between the EU and the Single Market , EFTA route there wouldn't have been a land border. had an Irish wife at the time, had paid some attention to the issue.
 
As long as I can remember there was this odd consensus between both sides of the conflict that most people living on the big island held such strong views about the 6 counties. One side saw them as perfidious Irish-hating colonialists who wanted nothing more than to go on depriving the minority of its rights while propping up the Protestant ascendancy. The latter thought we were all fervent Unionists largely supportive of their governance; I remember a short-lived Unionist proposal to have a referendum in GB to prove how much Britons wanted to hang on to 'Ulster'. They soon shut up about this when it dawned on the Unionists that not that many people gave a shit.

People were not in favour of the violence from anybody. Except perhaps the Army. which is complicated.

Yes. I have previously written that a staying in the single market compromise would have been helpful, it was even the notion behind Theresa fucking May’s resolution that she tried to sell to the other fuckers at Chequers. That failed because the Brexit result had opened the Pandora’s box and Rees Mogg and Gove and Johnson and the like came flying out.
All that as a consequence of leave winning the referendum, which of course was itself as a consequence of all the complicit fuckers who voted for it.

Out of interest, where does the "this self" thing that you seem to use when referring to yourself where most people would just say "I" or "me" come from?

I noticed your use of it a while ago and it's something I've never come across anyone else saying...

It's the one FoTL thing that works - you can't be banned or sued for any post with 'this self' in.
 
Those folk in the north of Ireland who like marching up and down roads celebrating battles no one else cares about, burning pyramids of pallets and painting their kerbs red, white and blue are frankly baffling and alien to most people I know in the rest of the UK.

I don’t want (or regard) them as part of my country but I doubt any other nation particularly covets them either.

Sorry if I appeared ungrateful.

I was genuinely hoping to get an answer from the poster I originally asked, but I appreciate your contribution.

Made me think of the Gaelic influenced Irish dialect where you say (stereotypically) "It's myself" Is mise mi fhein I think it was in Scots Gaelic though I've probably mangled that and am overthinking it anyway.

I was wondering if it was something like that that I've never come across before.

That one poster is the only person I've ever noticed using it, and that only quite recently, but looks like they're not going to respond.

Absolutely. If you can’t get the right result just change the rules for voting . It’s only universal suffrage which was fought for for centuries by the working classes but in the bigger sphere of things and with hindsight it was a mistake.

Nah, the old shouldn’t get to vote to decide the future, they’re done, give the vote to children instead.
