Just been to Northern Ireland. Bit of a strange place. Reminds me of what the UK was like half a century ago. Hardly saw a black face in Belfast. The Protestant grafetti was extremely nationalistic. Both the tourguids were ex terrorists who'd served jailtime. Both were paid by the EU. Both worried about the future. There jobs and all the other jobs that have been created using EU funding in an attempt to breakdown the sectarian devide. I don't think people in mainland UK understand or appreciate how delicate the balance in Northern Ireland is, still. The Catholics I met where extremly pro-EU, undertandably so.
