On latest ‘border poll’ musings.

Pause to recall the many things the British Government said were not happening here in the past.

Preparation and planning for potential constitutional change is well underway.

And the British Government knows it.

Many people of my generation here will find the contemporary reintroduction of “pan-nationalist/republican front” disturbing and disheartening.

Those intent on adopting such terms should reflect deeply - and with a bit of maturity - on the potential consequences.
