A proposal for the resolution of the Irish border re: Brexit

Give Northern Ireland back to the Irish. It's only ever been trouble.

  • If only the whole Brexit were that simple. The whole thing is a complete and utter disaster IMO.

    There could be a return of the Troubles. The whole of Europe could sink into a new recession. Putin, Bannon and the rest must be dancing with glee over how easy it was to push enough buttons to get the results they desired: a weakened Europe. Divide and rule. 

    I have started taking steps towards getting dual citizenship. I had been worried because a lawyer had told me I might lose my British citizenship, but have been assured by many, including the town hall I went to today as well as the British Embassy and a forum for those also seeking naturalisation, that that is not true. I do not like being a bargaining chip, a pawn on a board I never chose to be on and never had any say over. I am getting my birth certificate officially translated, have a 24-page form to fill in, which I have not looked at yet, but will have to start now. There is an exam on history and dates to work towards, though I have heard once you hit 60 it is not necessary and I will be 60 in the new year.
