What if Ireland doesn't actually want NI?Originally posted by GreenMirror View PostSending a gun boat did the UK so much good in the cod war. USA told the UK to back off as Iceland threatened to seek closer ties with Russia. And of course the UK government said "of course".
I think the easiest solution is o hand NI over to Ireland.
The UK government pays NI about 10 billion a year and in return the Irish up north pretend to be British. Would the Republic give them 10 billion?
If Norway gave be £10000 a year then I promise to tell everyone that I am Norwegian.
