Billy
Mitchell claims that the working class (the few who
have jobs), "unionists" want to stay part
of Great Britain, even in light of the fact that a
majority of those on mainland England want nothing
to do with N. Ireland. And, in light of the fact that
the English government has been backpedalling for
five years or more, trying to extricate themselves
from the N. Ireland situation. Billy, even the Scots
via the SNC want out of the Union, or at least those
who will always consider themselves Scottish, not
English.
As
an ex-patriot, half breed, I no more want N. Ireland
to be a part of Great Britian as I want N. Ireland
to be part of the South. What's wrong with just being
Irish, Billy? What's wrong with all the peoples of
N. Ireland aspiring to have their own country? With
the right investment, N. Ireland could be every bit
as competitive in the Global Market as any other EU
success story, more competitive if you ask me. Just
ask Michelin Tire where their most productive tire
plant was, bar none. They probably wont tell you,
it's a well kept secret and somewhat embarrassing,
for them.
Now
is the time to cut the apron strings and forge a whole
new country. It's time for both 'sides' to put their
sectarian bigotry behind them and embrace each other.
It's amazing what a few hugs will do.
