Irish question

Over the years I have read letters from Geoffrey Brooking, I think I have disagreed with all of them but his missive entitled ‘Land border’ published on May 14 really takes the biscuit.

In his very last sentence he dismisses this government's proposal to tear up a key part of the Good Friday Agreement because it ‘is history from a lifetime ago’.

It was 1998 man, 24 years, hardly a lifetime.

I am no great fan of the EU but after much soul searching I voted to remain and the Northern Ireland border was one of the key reasons.

It was obvious that leaving would create an insoluble problem. His second sentence states that the British people voted to leave the EU ‘in full’.

While this is true in England and Wales he might have forgotten that Northern Ireland voted to remain as did Scotland.

The only solution is for Northern Ireland to vote in a referendum to reunite with the Republic. Let His ‘beloved DUP’ put that in their pipes and smoke it.
