Company Director, lives in a cul-de-sac. It's basically telling their snobby, judgey readers that he's just l8ke them, & not the sort of feckless oik they would have expected 😲

You can just see in the cat's eyes that it's thinking "That pigeon twat is so getting it once these kittens stop milking me dry.."

But regardless - it's all England. A coherent historical & political unit. Time for the other coherent historical & political units within the UK to have the future choice of whether or not the English (some or all is irrelevant - it's still a different place & people) get to control their futures 👍

The English get what they vote for. The problem with the UK is that the Scottish, Welsh & Irish also get what the English vote for 🤷♂️ Which is why the UK is a broken concept. A so-called partnership that is really just an English-controlled constitutional cage.

Who said it would be easy? You may not be standing in the way of self-determination for Scotland - but sadly the government in London is. That's why the UK is not, & never has been, an alleged partnership of equals. It's a constitutional prison - controlled by/for English voters via the London Gov

It's still a completely free & open border. Something you were disputing the existence of.

The completely open seamless border between a country that left the EU & one that remained. Yes - that one 👍

Have you crossed the British border in Ireland since Brexit? 🤷♂️

Northern Ireland will be leaving the UK. It's just a question of when, not if - with the timescale accelerated by Brexit. The English have no interest in the EU, & have the numbers to over-rule anywhere else's point of view. Your beloved UK is an English-dominatd constitutional cage who's time is up

Northern Ireland will 100% be leaving the UK. It's just a question of when, not if. And Brexit has greatly accelerated that timescale.

There are plenty of places around Europe & elsewhere where borders are notional rather than hard.

The UK is not a partnership. It's a deeply unequal constitutional prison. As shown by Brexit, when the votes of the English took Scotland out of the EU against its will. As shown by the fact London alone decides whether it wants to give Scotland the right to vote on its own constitutional future.

This makes no sense. Firstly, Scotland is not "tiny". Secondly - so what if it's not a big world playr? Big feckin deal - why be so needy? England won't be much when UK ends either btw. Scotland needs to do what's right for itself- not for those with fragile international egos. UK holds Scotland bak

Obfuscate & dance on the head of that pin all you like, Mark. The fact is - when given the choice between politely asking someone to stop acting anti-socially or just complaining online about it, your instinct & choice was to do the latter. Exhibiting cowardice & attention-seeking in equal measure 😳

I'm calling you out for being spineless. Which you clearly are for moaning on social media about the behaviour of people nxt to - when you could literally just go & ask thm to be more considerate. But nah- you're more interestd in attention seeking on social media than actually resolving the issue 🙄

I certainly wasn't expecting anyone to highlight Northern Ireland as a paragon of transport investment/provision 😄 Not sure where he got his ridership figures from though. The Derry-Belfast line carries 2.7m passengers a year, not 4.5m.

Or just grow a pair of balls & politely but firmly point out to them that it's very annoying for other people, & ask them to take it off speaker? Like whingeing on social media is going to achieve anything 🤷♂️
