That is a bit like St Augustine's famous prayer, Grant me chastity and continence, Lord, but not yet.


Indeed!

Or if it means paying a bit more tax...

Ah! Bejasus, Paddy, if the good Lord had intended us to pay taxes, surely He would never have given us the border?

As of 1973, 98.9% of the Northern Irish electorate stood with the United Kingdom.

Unless they've vanished off the face of the earth, I'd say you're talking absolute nonsense.

The 1973 Border Poll is all but irrelevant. Not only was it over 50 years ago, but it was boycotted by the nationalist community and doesn't represent the views of the people now or then.
