I honestly have no idea what point you are trying to make - or how it is relevant to the post from Rjk you disputed.Originally Posted by Feedback
He said the response of the government (in London) to the Irish famine showed 'we have never been a union of equals'. Surely that is about the way the UK government affects the lives of people in different parts and in different circumstances (better not to be poor, Irish or catholic) rather than some legalistic analysis of the different acts of union (England with Scotland and then Ireland?).
A case could be made about unequal rights in the union - nationalist have done that for centuries - but that wasn't the point made.
