Brexit : the Revenge of Ireland




Brexit= the Revenge of Ireland. Since the 12th Century the English have imposed their mostly unwelcome rule on some or all of Ireland. But now, the British want to “free” themselves from the rest of Europe—and the only way they can do that without a return to Troubles in Ireland is to ABANDON their last “plantation” in Northern Ireland and withdraw, after 9 centuries, to their own little island—end of Empire, full stop. Delicious irony. Northern Ireland, meanwhile, has to face the truth: these days, they would really be better off being Irish than British. (None of this is likely to happen tomorrow—but it will happen, IMO.) Sic semper tyrannis.
