    Jeffrey, will you acknowledge that in NI there are a significant number of people who do not identify themselves as British? Every other part of the UK; Wales, Scotland and England, the people there identify themselves as British. NI is the only place in UK where non-British people live and because of this fact, NI cannot be treated in the same way as the rest of the UK. This is something you have to accept otherwise more and more people will want to see the back of you.

    @56:31 Goods manufactured in NI can be sold within the EU which is a market of approximatel;y 450million people. It makes sense for goods to be manufactured in NI to EU standards as the goods can be sold in both markets wheres if goods manufactured in NI were made to GB standards none of them can be sold within the EU as GB standards are lower. Selling goods in both markets far outweighs the extra cost of manufacturing goods to higher EU standards. It's a win-win situation for businesses in NI!!!

    There were No paramilitary groups In the Irish Republic during the troubles.
    Republicans fought against the British establishment in Northern Ireland only.

    Maybe I am missing something, but it seems to me that the DUP leaders appear to somewhat shortsighted.

      @noelfleming3567 I guess what I am trying to say, Colonialism is but an illusion, and not reality.

    #weejeff chose to ignore that illegal weapons controlled by Ulster Resistance, a paramilitary group set up by the DUP, have still not been decommissioned.
