    assuming you have the evaluative capacity to make some sort of judgement about it.

    Another insult. Why can't you make your points without resorting to them? I suppose we should be grateful it wasn't as vicious as your last one.

    Strangely though, I thought political stability or instability was a day to day issue in NI. The Assembly has been somewhat unstable since it was established and hasn't sat for some time, unless you count the cup of tea they had this week.
    Isn't that what the consent principle was about in the GFI and the sort of double-lock built in to the assembly, for want of a better expression.

    Anyway, having followed Brexit quite closely, I had understood the potential for civil unrest in Northern Ireland was focussed on border infrastructure.
    In fact Sammy Wilson of the DUP summed it up perfectly this week, advising that the only reason this arrangement had been put together is because it was though one part of the "community" would start bombing again if one camera extra was placed anywhere on the Irish/NI border.

    I don't like BJs new plan to be frank, but it seems to have been put together to try and alleviate concerns about civil unrest in Northern Ireland, not fan the flames.

    as you know, all sources are partial. It's up to you to decide their veracity.

    I honestly don't think he knows what he's doing. He doesn't seem to understand the situation in NI or particularly care about it. It seems like it's an impediment to "getting Brexit done" which he's treating as an inconvenience, rather than a genuine political issue. (that's an opinion, by the way )
