There is much to admire about the Northern Irish position, Dr Toole. Their government (dormant since January 2017) confirms, repeatedly and incessantly, over and over again and at maximum volume, that there is only one line it will refuse to cross: that is any line that involves the colony being treated differently from the rest of the United Kingdom.
It is impressive that they maintain this position while still retaining their own Godly prohibitions on many so-called "civil rights" matters, plus a law of libel so much more generous to the plaintiff than that of Great Britain. (This makes them a desirable destination for
libel tourism - top tip: since the law was changed in the rest of Britain, should you ever be libeled, it's well worth the trip to sue in Northern Ireland!) I applaud them.

The North Irish government-in-abeyance is also opposed to a border - not just a border between Norn Irn (as they call their country) and the Fenian Republic, but also one between Ireland as a whole and the rest of the British Isles. "No Border Here!" they cry, in their impenetrable accent.
I see that the British government is planning to issue
a commemorative 50 pence coin to mark the country's eventual departure from the EU:
The sentiment is laughable, of course. And I notice that they haven't put a date on it.
