But they could be full of it as well. Did the English language partly come from the Germans, with the Saxons, and mixed with Norse and other language of the time.

Nicepix 5,650 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The SF leader made comments about avoiding the messy situation that the Tories were in mid-Brexit. And she thinks that the EU should support a united Ireland. Ithink she's been to the same political school as Wee Jimmy. The Irish situation now looks like a whole mess and I can't see how it won't end up in bloodshed and long term paralysis of the Government. But at least Varadkar has had his comeuppance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Looks like it's every party for them selves, No party for the people. They should pull together for the people and their country. S.F won't find it that easy to do anything. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bloodshed over an election result? SFs agenda has been the same from its formation as was the provos so why is anyone surprised with what they are saying at the minute, their end goal has always been a United ireland.

They wont be respected by any party, the people of Ireland voted for S.F to be in power, and their votes won't be respected either. Wonder what are the chances of another vote being needed.

Definitely agree about the bloodshed, the last thing this country needs. I'm not in favour of S.F, and their policies, but if their were chosen by the people, then all parties should be willing to work with them, regardless of how they feel about them.

Atb j SF will do even better in another election. If the other parties choose not to go into government with them it will only make them stronger.
