The North is a mess... 71% of the workers, work for the Government... Their economy is a basket case needing to be propped up by the UK to the tune of £10 billion a year...
That is $6783 per each individual in the North per year... That is crazy money...
There is no way the Republic of Ireland with 5 million people is willing to pay that bill...
Without a shot fired (which is highly unlikely), we could be talkin about $150 billion to reunite the Island...
Much happier sticking that bill on the UK, their mess they can pay for it... Sorry Tommy...
The laugh is they are sharing the same Island with the Republic who have one of the strongest medium sized economies in the world... Simple trade should have them in a better position but they are that uncompetitive.
