Shock as only 17 percent in Northern Ireland would vote for a United Ireland

One only has to view SKY TV news - TV3 - RTE1 - UTV - BBC1NI - to see just how little difference there is in the topics. Exact same crises in respective economies. Same bankster largesse. Same crises in health services. But one essential distinction is that the UK remains outside European Monetary Union (EMU) whilst paying one of the lowest doles in Europe. Hmmm! £ vs €?

STEVENSTAIR: TO finish my deleted reply from a few days back. The Irish in the north know that if there were a UI tomorrow, their dole payments would be cut drastically, sa the south would not be able to pay the generous dole amounts they pay now. And of course those dole pymts would be cut for those in the south as well. So right now it makes sense for them to stay within the U.K.,and have the English govt subsidize their basket economy which is primarily just the public sector. Meanwhile the Germans will continue to run things in the south. But the Germans are some what fond of the Irish. They love the Guinness and the music.

And what reason on Earth do we have to trust a poll about Irish affairs conducted by the British Broadcasting Company? None. It's too soon to vote on this, given the shattered economies everywhere today. In a while, when still more Irish babies are outnumbering babies who bow to the Empire, the island will be all-green, again. (Or, humanity will get over flags and money and all work together, but that's probably a few centuries away, the way things are going...)
