The survey, conducted online in February 2019 with 1,084 adults aged 16-75 across Great Britain, asked how people would prefer Northern Ireland to vote if it were to hold a referendum on its future. Only 36% said they would like Northern Ireland to choose to stay in the Union while 18% preferred that it should leave and join the Republic of Ireland; a further 36% said that they did not mind either way and 9% did not know. It seems like it is no longer a hot issue with 45% saying they don't care or have no opinion. |

I think that UK was counting on trade and tourism with the US and the Commonwealth but COVID trashed that hope. |

Longer term it will work out for them. At the least they will not fall into the hole that southern Europe is dragging the north into. The President is a fink. |

What else do they have to trade that could be competitive to Asian manufacturing? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/26/uk-sells-arms-to-nearly-80-of-countries-under-restrictions-shows-report The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury.
