Just as you have conveniently forgotten that slightly over half of the roughly 3600 homicides committed during the period known as "The Troubles" were committed by the British Army and its associated Orange terrorist organizations.

1) The British Army were responsible for just 299 or so deaths during the Troubles - 9% of the total.

By far the largest number of deaths - 49% of them - were committed by the IRA, with the loyalist UVF coming a very distant second - 11%.

2) The Orange Order isn't a terrorist organisation.

But apart from those two slight errors, your post was entirely accurate.

By the way, Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA, were against the Republic of Ireland joining the EU.

Didn't the Queen put May in after Scotland was railroaded??

Do you mean in the same way that Ontario was railroaded in the 1992 Charlottetown Accord when it voted in favour of it but Canada as a whole voted against it?

I'm surprised, but pleased, that you agree with me.

Ontario was paid a lot of money, kind of take the 'free vote' crap. There is a good reason the Quebec separation vote was only held in Quebec. Can you guess why it was that way?
