  1. The UK is already splitting up.

  2.  @hardrockuk_com  Why on earth would the Irish rejoin the UK? We're in the middle of commemorating the centenary of our departure from it. Even the suggestion demonstrates how little English people think of Irish sovereignty.

  3. 'The Alternative is Independence' Independence? NI can't even govern itself under devolution, and its economy is a basketcase. The problem is Brexit.

  4.  @andrewdouglas1963  Unionists would not tolerate a nationalist majority in Stormont, and we know how the Unionists would behave when they half the power from history. In such circumstances, how could independence Northern Ireland work politically? It would last a week. Power sharing is the only way for now. When it becomes a normal society it can be a normal democracy with a functioning, constructive opposition regardless of who is in power.

  5.  @hardrockuk_com  The UK is a dead weight. Ireland is fine, thanks.

  6. The protocol is going nowhere. The British government have accepted it long ago - indeed it was their suggestion - all that remains is for the British government to iron out some issues in relation to it with the EU. If the protocol was to be scrapped, there will need to be a hard border in Ireland - the EU will not agree to that, and neither will the US. This is why the UK will not walk away from their obligations. What is required for unionism is for the whole of the UK to return to the Single Market. Brexit is the problem.
