    Here you are again!

    There is an agreement between Ireland and UK that any British person can settle in Eire and vice versa and maintain all rights, freedoms, nationality.   You can even gain Irish nationality - under certain conditions - and then move anywhere you like in the EU.

    I've said it before - Do your research.

    That could be a good business in the republic. Rent out properties and support whatever residency requirements for those unfortunate enough not to have any Irish ancestors. If every American president - even Obama can dig them up so to speak, it shouldn't even be necessary.

    If we think we have problems with Boris and his merry men, just look at what's happening north of the border and be thankful for what we have.  I saw some of Alex Salmond's written evidence from before and after it was redacted.  The original content was all statements about Sturgeon's claims and actions, along with dates and the names of people who could corroborate the content.  After redaction not a single word remained.  The person who imposed the redaction was appointed by Sturgeon which I'm sure is entirely coincidental.

    Whilst I find it entertaining when politicians throw their toys out of the pram I nearly lost the will to love trying to follow the Salmon Q&A session this afternoon.  No-one is going to look good after this and I have to say the grumpiest and least social of our adopted chooks makes more sense as she chunters and mutters and does her running commentary.

    The Labour party is having fun and games in Liverpool with mayoral shenanigans.   More entertainment!

    Just wait till Boris grows up and realises he has to take some unpopular decisions to try and get the economy back on track.  Yet more entertainment of the wrong kind.

    Don't be silly Obelixx.  Boris won't make unpopular decision, he'll push announcements onto people like Rishi Sunak but take credit for all the good things. :D

    All I hope, is that internal Scottish politics, makes it more likely that we will remain a united Britain.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    I know there's something going on up there but there's too much information. My eyes glaze over after a couple of paragraphs.😒

    @KT53 - the mud will stick no matter who he gets to be the fall guys.   The fun will be in seeing who comes out on top afterwards.   Lots of pain coming up for tax payers tho.
     
    @punkdoc - that will also be interesting to watch but all the Scots I know over here think Brexit signals the end of the Union.  We'll see.

    On a more cheerful note, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there is a blackbird building her nest in my garden. 🌷
