SandyCromarty Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 14 minutes ago, Henderson to deliver ..... said: Those plans for the new bridge in full. Apart from the fact it is virtually impossible to build one, the thought of a bridge between a united Ireland and an Indy Scotland being built and paid for by the English government is stauner inducing. I thought that at it's deepest it's 175 Mtrs off Galloway, Jack Ups were used regularly in the Irish Sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Would be so cool to have the most bombed bridge ever made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 15 hours ago, Bohemian said: If anyone thinks the rise of SF in the south has anything to do with a united Ireland they are very much mistaken. If a United Ireland happens it happens but there isn't any real appetite for it just now. This election was a clear message to FF/FG (who are now viewed by most as the same party, different checks of the same arse to use a phrase we know too well in Scotland) that people in Ireland especially the younger generation are sick of their shite. The real issues for people in Ireland are housing, crime and health all of which have been neglected by FF/FG through years of austerity, SF have promised to end this, will they is another matter but that's what the people voted on, to give them a chance, I'd have my doubts. I'm not so sure about that. Quote Four in five Irish people want a united Ireland, according to a poll for The Times. More than 40 per cent of voters said that they wanted to see a united Ireland in the next decade, with a further 19 per cent saying they wanted unity to happen within 20 years. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/election-2020-we-want-united-ireland-say-four-in-five-voters-bcsbnkjld 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureiknow Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 So it seems to be a draw. Maybe it goes to penalties. Would have to fancy Sinn Fein in a shoot out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Whilst I believe the people paying 80% of their wages on rent in Dublin didn't vote Sinn Féinn for a united Ireland you would be pretty stupid to think Sinn Féin in government wouldn't be pushing for it.

Would the Republic seriously take a million furious loyalists to its bosom. How else are people expected to answer a question on part of what is supposed to be the national political creed? Northern Ireland is a political, financial and, to some extent,moral basket case and that might be a consideration in an actual vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
