The reality is, that it is unlikely that Eire cannot afford reunification. According to an article in the New Statesman, 66% of people polled in the republic were in favour of reunification until the question was asked, " would you be in favour if increased taxation to be able to pay for it?" The percentage dropped to 31%! The Irish government is struggling to pay for its own people. As for the Falklands, no matter the rhetoric, i have no doubt that there will come a day when we will sell them down the river, because the current arrangements for defending the islands is barely sustainable. When it happens, with or without the odious Corbyn's assistance, i will lie down and die of shame.
