- or you didn't fully understand it.
My Dad always said, if the Irish were black, everyone would see the problem for what it really is. It's because there's no clear physical difference between "loyalists" and "Republicans" that it seems to be incomprehensible to most outsiders.
To this day, I'm acutely aware that I have a standard home counties English accent, and a Donegal Catholic name - and my work colleagues don't seem to get why I don't want to do public webinars about the border legislation surrounding the Northern Ireland Protocol.

And we live here. It's often forgotten about that NI actually voted to remain in the EU just like Scotland and yet here we are once again getting used as a football.

I can't say anything about it neutrally.
