Most of these criminals are the remnants of Republican and Loyalist paraliminatary groups. After decades of "the troubles" N.I has a very healty criminal network, who are loving the opportunites Brexit offers. All you Brexitieers go on about MaxFac and "Trusted Traders" but how does that work in the febrile environment that exists in N.I? You have succeeded in setting N.I back 20 years, congratulations.

How long does the rest of the UK have to tread on egg-shells politically to supposedly keep a lid on a minority of dickheads on either side?

Look at the voting in North Ireland. Since 1992 it has gone:

UUP - 271049 to 83280
DUP - 103039 to 292316

That's the Unionists.

SDLP - 184445 to 95419
SF - 78291 to 238915

and the Republicans.

If the people of Northern Ireland want to vote for the nutjobs that's up to them, but don't come complaining to me about it.
