The Republic of Ireland couldn't afford northern ireland.

The welfare bill up the north is a lot higher and the benefits are as well.

A lot of the shinners and sdlp voters are benefit scroungers hence why they wouldn't accept the welfare bill.

ROI is bankrupt and while a united Ireland is romantic that's all it is. When it is eventually spelled out how much it would cost to either side there would be change in most people's opinions.

Don't forget NI is bankrolled by Westminster for billions and that gravy train would come to a quick halt.

Where would ROI get those replacement billions from? It won't be from the European union and that's for sure.

 

People in NI will lose their benefits over night, household bills up by a third, car tax triple, alcohol up, cars and property at silly prices. Mortgage rates that aren't passed onto the consumer when the interest rates go down.

Pensions will decrease astronomically overnight as the Republic can't afford them. And much higher tax rates. And they'll pay extortionate rates for GPs and other health care related things.

 

Let's have a look at what it will cost the working Joe soap in the Republic. It will be even harder to get benefits when jobless through no fault of their own. The tax and national insurance equivalent will go through the roof.

 

Don't forget folks the politicians who sell the United Ireland will dress it up like a fairy tale as it won't matter to them financially as they'll be looked after.

 

The Republic dropped their claim to NI from the constitution in the 90's and there wasn't much complaining done then if any. The United Ireland idea is bigger up north than it is down south and when people down south find out how much it will cost them it will be a no vote for sure.

While a lot of people wrongly assume that all catholics in the north will vote yes most are hardworking like anywhere else they will take the financial implications over a romantic ideal.

 

Lastly the republicans and loyalists carved up territory years ago when it came to drugs.

Just like any other country you can get what you want.

well said brewman, that's what I was trying to say to. its not about protestant v catholic. its unionisn and nationalism. ni and its peoples are better of in the union

[Brewman 1,192]

It's about catholics and protestants when it suits certain quarters but it's starting to wear this with most people.

A few months ago I spoke with a man in his late 70 's who would have had a republican back round. His opinion was he'd be better off financially and health care wise with NI in the UK.

Exactly both the republican and loyalist paramilitaries are involved heavily in the drugs trade in both NI and the ROI.

Those who say otherwise must have on rose tinted glasses!

 

The ROI would be better off in partnership with the Union than with Europe but I'll never see it in my lifetime I don't think, let's not forget as well that plenty of Irish lads come to the UK to work as the Republic has nothing to offer them.

 

 

 

Getting back to Hiroshima and the bomb I'd argue that it wasn't a necessity at that stage of the war, the blockade of Japan's merchant shipping was having a massive effect and would of prevented any serious opposition to a allied invasion given time for it to have had a bigger effect on the population.

 

The leading U.S. commanders of the time Nimitz, MacArthur, Eisenhower, D. Leahy, all had massive doubts about its use before and after.
