Guinness is ace.
Guinness is from Ireland.
So Ireland is ace.

From Dara O Briain on twitter...
A final note: loved the way the (80% Irish) crowd today roared for Team GB's Nicola Adams. She probably gave the best performance of the day too

If Scotland don't vote for independence, do we then get to vote them out of the Union anyway?
A few months back they said on Radio 5 that according to the most recent opinion polls if there was a vote for Scottish independence across the whole of the UK, the vote in Scotland would be in favour of staying in and outside Scotland for them to leave. I'd vote them out as I'm sick of them moaning all the time. |

This is the problem though. As the polls in Scotland demonstrate, the moaners are in a minority. There is currently no majority in Scotland for independence. Most people up there want to remain in the UK.
But you only get to hear the moaners. The folk who aren't moaning and want things to stay roughly as they are don't make anything like as much noise...so it gives a false impression about what most Scots are really wanting. If you want some balance, you have to take the views of the moaners along side those of people like Chris Hoy and Andy Murray (for example) over the last few weeks. Clearly as proud to be British as anyone else.

Often outnumbered, never outgunned.

Paddy just danced around the ring, landed a few then hid and ran. Hate the way the BBC are blowing the Irish.

If there was ever a referendum then the Scots would stay in, largely because above all else referendums nearly always favour the status quo. Not only that referendums are easily manipulated to get the result the establishment wants - in this case Scotland to remain a member of the Union - this is precisely the reason they are banned in Germany for very obvious historical reasons. |

Unfortunately all too common that the loud minority skew the view of those on the outside of a situation |
