Pffft. That entire article is simply a hatchet job on the English and nothing else.

Do they have any reason to love their former colonial masters ?

With angst like this between neighbours, how does the EU expect to survive with even more diverse cultures and political differences?

Re: The Irish Times on Brexit
Agreed . . . I’m reminded of when Paul Keating was Australia’s PM. He wanted nothing to do with Britain, and Irish supporters appeared from all over the place. When Keating was deposed by John Howard, the supporters disappeared just as quickly.

But then, it seems that certain losers in the UK have no concept of democracy either, it must be a 21st century malady.

It seems to me a balanced view. I am sure the BritNats will have a different opinion.

Re: The Irish Times on Brexit
Tony Blair's full speech on Brexit. Do you think the EU can change so that the UK can remain in the EU?
The main difficulties I can see are the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy and the Common Fisheries Policy.
