How can you tell an undeveloped Wetherspoons from a developed one?

The developed ones have forty something divorced cougars with boob jobs and hair extensions drinking cheap rose wine .
Carlow is a lovely little town and I won’t hear a bad word said against it. On the flip side who the fuck goes to Whetherspoons to drink champagne?
“champagne”
Isabel Euphemia Jokeshop will be on Question Time tonight.
I’d like to think she’ll take a serious pasting due to her par in the Arron Banks/Russia story, but this is Question Time, so I expect the audience to be filled with pro-Brexit mentalists.

Latest poll is very interesting — Two different headlines from it. The establishment papers in Ireland run with BREXIT voters would rather see a hard border than stay in customs union… The Telegraph hones in on the fact that the majority of brexiters would rather cut NI loose than stay in customs union. Why wouldnt the Irish paper run with that angle?
Because it doesn’t suit their agenda
Of maintaining the union?
I think the easiest solution is the UK gives NI back to Ireland, along with guaranteed payments to help meet the costs of public wage bills, social welfare etc for the next 10 years while we integrate them with our own systems. Any people of unionist persuasion who don’t want to remain in a united Ireland should be given a small compensation package and free passage to the new world.

If we played it right the EU would fund all the costs of reintegration.

That’s why we should hype up NI being cut off and left to die by England - Win over the middle ground up north and play up the humanitarian crisis at the border if it does happen.
The number one goal for Ireland is not getting that shit show back; it is maintaining the ease of movement to the U.K. as a whole, the cross services recognition made possible in the EU and free access to their market.
Grow up chaps, we did he whole nationalist bollix for 40 years after independence and it didn’t work.
Because there’s no chance of ii) happening, whereas there is a very realistic chance of i) happening.
People take the absence of a border these days for granted, but it was something that had be both fought for and negotiated over for decades.
Some of us remember the previous situation at the border which pertained up to the 90s and don’t want to go back there. Even as late as 2003 British Army soldiers with huge guns hung over their shoulders would stop you on the road coming out of Clones after a match.

That’s all fine, but it was a poll on what people think… not what’s likely to happen. The partitionist paper could just have easily highlighted what brexiteers are really thinking but they dont want to encourage that kind of thing. They’re hoping for a soft brexit and for the status quo to be maintained.

You’re the metaphorical lovechild of Cromwell and Arlene. They’d despise you but view you as the sort of simpleton that at least does as he’s told.

Brexiteers are dumb unionist types when you really get down to brass tacks. They’re the sort that keep pushing the Jeremy Corbyn was in the IRA line.
They’re probably even more wedded to their hard Brexit, imperial Britain trading on the high seas of the world fantasy than they are to maintaining the “union”, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t committed to keeping the six counties part of that.
It’s because they’re dumb arch-unionists that they don’t care about a hard border.
