We just need it for one week of the year mate
Ah yes, the cheese festival
Those fellas chasing madly down that steep hill after the cheese are a perfect metaphor for Britain
Throwing in the word economic there is quite telling

Wahey!
Time for BBC Alba to be ditched and TG4 to go mór.
The Munster/Leinster third-placed counties will be playing the Camanachd Provincial Champions in a preliminary quarter final in 5 years time.
If the North want to know anything about what the mainland thinks of them, the graphic on the bbc tonight is showing Conservatives, Labour, SNP, Lib Dems and an alternating figure for other parties.
It’s is showing from the exit poll; Plaid 3, greens 1. brexit party 0, others 19.
The others obviously including the DUP and Sinn Fein who will likely each on their own have more seats than all the other three they’ve taken the time to list combined

When you factor in the abstentions of SF, Boris will have a majority on over 90, if the exit polls are borne out…

Is it time for Ireland to start preparing for a United Ireland?GETTY
Irish Senator Mark Daly calls on Irish government to begin preparations for a United Ireland following Brexit Britain’s election results in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Senator Mark Daly, who compiled the first report in the history of any Dáil (Irish Parliament) or Senate committee on Irish Unity, has called on the Irish government to make preparations for a United Ireland following the election results in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Given that Unionist Members of Parliament are now in a minority, for the first time since the establishment of Northern Ireland 99 years ago this month. At that time, of the 13 Members of Parliament, 11 were Unionists and two were Nationalists. That majority has now been reduced to 8 out of 18, which is clear of the trend that will continue.
To date not one of the 17 recommendations of the report by the All-Party Oireachtas Good Friday Agreement Committee “Brexit & the Future: Uniting Ireland & It’s People in Peace & Prosperity” which was adopted unanimously, has been implemented by the Government.

“Brexit & The Future of Ireland Uniting Ireland & It’s People in Peace & Prosperity “ the title says it all. 1st report by Dail & Senate Committee on Uniting Ireland which I complied for Good Friday Agreement Ctte #GeneralElection2019 #ExitPolls #GE2019 #unitedIreland #brexit

In a statement, Senator Mark Daily said, “The lesson of Brexit is that a referendum requires long-term planning, engagement, and critically preparation. This is simply not being done by the Irish Government and is wreckless, policy neglect giving the results in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
“For many Unionists in Northern Ireland, their link to the United Kingdom is through Scotland and if Scotland votes for independence then many will question the future of the Union. The Irish government needs to show the people of Northern Ireland, particularly the Unionist community a clear alternative and a vision for the future that is inclusive”.
As the Northern Irish election results emerged they showed the Democratic Unionist Party suffered major damage in this election with the Deputy Leader Nigel Dodds losing his seat to Sinn Fein’s John Finucane, in West Belfast, as long as two other Members of Parliament. They also failed to land another key target seat.
For Sinn Féin it was not an altogether successful election with its vote falling off outside Belfast. They also suffered an embarrassing reversal in Foyle, where the Social Democratic and Labour Party’s Colum Eastwood won a 17,000-vote majority.
In London, Boris Johnson is now, again, taking up the mantle of Prime Minister of Britain and he will start another road towards the next Brexit deadline of Jan 31, 2020. Britain will then have until the end of 2020 to negotiate with the European Union.
It’s a time for calm heads . You’ve a romanticized idea in your ceann (And there’s nothing wrong with that) but if you this is going to be done properly, it’ll take another generation or two

There’s nothing that can be done to appease those bastards. It won’t go easy. They’ll screw the brits going out and they’ll screw us coming in.
Fuck them. If they don’t like it let them fuck off to Scotland
It needs to be done quick. Dragging it out would be disastrous.

That’s it. I can’t fathom how anyone would want the cunts in the first place.
Wave them off onto the Ferries in Larne and then unify the Country.

We need the Europeans to drive Boris to the brink and he’ll fuck them royally enough that they’ll hopefully fuck off over.
He’ll throw them and us under the bus.
I’d be very surprised if this doesn’t kick off the troubles again.

The cunts dont do reasonable. We all know that. The only point I was trying to emphasise was that I don’t want the cunts down here bombing the place that’s all. Anyway the Scots will tell them to fuck off as well. The valleys with the sheep is where they’ll end up. Fuck em.
I think there’ll be trouble either way.

Nah ref us.
We’ll be grand, at least the uncertainty of it all is over now. In saying that there’ll be no real effect for a couple of years bar the Sterling rate against the Euro.
