Boris’s Irish solution - is it workable?

[elprup]

It seems like it could be a viable solution to me, although I’ll admit that I’m by no means an expert on the subject. What do you think?

Much as this adoration for Clarke makes me chuckle, to be fair, @MockersthefeMANist , when that was said the Berlin Wall was still up, there was a lot of "armed and not at all peaceful peace" going on that would fall into the category of "current affairs ". Which would be history now.

It seems to me that in education we are happy to teach our children about being victorious in world war 2 which was 70 years ago....but not so keen to talk about the time we made a truce for the sake of peace just 20 years ago.

Surely it is more important to teach our children that sometimes in life we have to seriously compromise

I don’t think England really understands the type of compromises we made in NI.

As a young 19 year old I went out and voted for the GFA knowing full well it would mean that prisoners on both sides who I viewed as disgusting murderers would get back on our streets. People who floated over the deaths of innocent children. Who weren’t all that remorseful if at all. That some of them would be in charge of our political affairs. It was a bloody hard choice to make but we needed to take a gamble and give peace a chance.

It seems like such a betrayal to hear English people on question time telling politicians just to “give us back to the republic”. Such ignorance.
