I did not say that , have you listened to the Irish premier though banging on about hard boarder , ,hard Brexit ,flying over Ireland etc ,now that being an enemy, and not a close ally of a country that did help them out in time of need ,so different is the current rhetoric now their financially better off .
This reminds me of the Australia/Indonesia dispute a few years ago. Indonesia executed two Aussies for drug smuggling and Australia's main protest was that they give millions in aid and this is what happens. Should a country have a hold over another just because they voluntarily contribute money?
The UK bailing out Ireland wasn't because we are dead nice chaps, it's because a bust Ireland would have a huge knock-on effect to the UK economy. Quite frankly, Ireland have every right to 'bang on' about the hard border, and the reason there's a chance of it going up is nothing to do with them at all. We have no high morals here, I'm amazed you seem to think we do.
By the way, I would love you to find an Irish person and ask them "Do there politicians leaders even remember the generosity shown to them ?" Their response might surprise you (and hurt a little too).
Did the UK give Ireland £20bn? Or did we lend them a much smaller amount? I can't remember now...
Let's be honest. It's an unholy mess and no-one knows where it will lead in the very short-term let alone the long term.
Brexit, remain, austerity, etc., all have their winners and losers, that is a fact of political decisions, but should we apologise to everybody who fall on the wrong side of the will of the people? What about all the people who have died in wars defending British sovereignty and our democratic freedoms? Should we tell their families they all died in vein?

Edit: I'll take that reply back.
You appear to be suggesting that people don't matter. If things go tits up and people suffer, then fine. You are also suggesting that tossing people into more poverty against their will in order that democracy wins is on a par with innocent people losing their lives in war. I don't agree with that, I also think it's disgraceful to even make an inaccurate comparison like that. People lost their lives in war which was not the result of a referendum. Here there's a political choice - people or an ideologically driven desire to turn the UK into a tax haven sweat shop. You would rather politicians make people suffer than do the right thing for them. I think that makes you a complete and utter odious right-wing tosspot
Thousands of sick and disabled people have died because of austerity and nobody on here gave a toss about them. It seems like you want to pick and choose your battles, depending on how you see them affecting you personally. Good thing you didn't find yourself suffering from chronic ill health then. BTW Corbyn is Brexiteer, as are many labour voters, so I don't know where you got the idea that Brexit is a right-wing ideology.
I'm talking about the 52% who voted for Brexit. We all know that politicians don't work for us. I have even advocated for a new centrist party based on grass roots policies, but first you have to get rid of the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. Only then can you consider any new forms of representation in British politics. I don't hold out much hope though, as I never realised the extent of brainwashing the average person has undergone.
