A province once again.
And the Brits are just as bad. What Napoleon and Hitler could not accomplish by force of arms, British politicians accomplished by diplomacy.
The EU got’em drunk!

Very astute. Yours is the best one sentence remark I think I’ve ever read. It is both a statement on what has happened in Ireland and a warning to the rest of us. I’m glad your on my side. In honor of your screen name I’m gonna crank up my Telecaster and pound out some rocking blues.
