    North and South Korea is the obvious one - South Korea is effectively an island on the end of a peninsula.

    I think China have been building islands in the Indian Ocean to extend their border reach.

    I'm not sure, but the Russian/American border is disputed in the Aleutian islands.

    How would you react if you woke up in the morning and your next door neighbour had moved the fence 6ft into your garden? Or announced he’d had a word with your kids and they’d all agreed they were going to share all your joint resources, so he was moving into your bedroom as it had a better view than his. Or cut your leccy off because the cables went under his house?
    That’s only the trivial ones - but y see how all it takes is for neighbours to decide to no longer be reasonable.

    Speaking of which... imagine if you’re in a group buying syndicate with all your street, and that Nobhead on the end decides to not just leave the scheme, but also make it difficult for the grocery trucks to use the street outside their house. Then try to blame everyone else for not ‘playing nice’.

    Some communities from one Ireland doesn’t even recognise the other Ireland , Mostly ex Scots or converted Catholics to Protestants
    Other communities from that Same Ireland doesn’t recognise the border or even the Ireland of which they reside Mostly Catholics but not all .

    It was one of our lads that kicked all this off as well. Thomas Wentworth.

    No, half of NIreland want to be part of the U.K., the other half of them want to be part of Ireland

    the U.K. managed to negotiate a settlement that kept them all happy (and mostly stopped them murdering each other in droves). But the Brexit deal broke that agreement which unsurprisingly reopened that argument. There’s no surprises here, just one of the many ‘project fear’ predictions proving to be perfectly accurate.

    So they bombed Warrington, Birmingham and London because they didn't like each other?

    No. They bombed those places because they didn't want to be under rule from Westminster. They considered themselves Irish.

    It's a lot more complex than that and I certainly wouldn't condone what the IRA ever did. I used to live in Docklands and every day going to work on the DLR was a permanent edifice to those times, a building in tatters that the IRA bombed. But some of the things the UK forces did in NI were terrible too and the act of internment that the UK government carried out through the unionist government of Ireland caused all sorts of problems .

    Definitely more complicated than that but I just wanted to answer why they bombed places in this country.

    No, because countries aren't ruled by Brussels. We can leave any time we want (as you've seen) , we got to be part of the decision making, we had the power of veto hence we stuck with the pound and not the Euro. Very different scenarios.

    So if the troubles start again, is it Boris's fault or is it everybody's fault who voted brexit or could it actually be the person or persons doing the crime?
