Gambler’s view of NI (ii)

Dropping in on the same betting forum we did the other day, we come up with a number of interesting epithets on the Northern Ireland process:

Pull out of Northern Ireland, save all the money the British taxpayers are ploughing in and spend it on the Health Service, Roads and Education in Britain. They want withdrawl – we want withdrawl. Let’s see how the Irish cope without OUR money!

what’s happening today is better than what was happening in the 70’s and 80’s……………the only killings now are internal ones ………maybe the odd sectarian killing but generally there is a real peace…..except for the odd riot during the marching season……..so let’s not be too greedy Mr Trimble.
did i hear the fields of Athenry being sung at Ibrox tonight?

Peace is a bit of a problem. Things were so much simpler when they were at war.
