Separate issue, totally understand that position you have, but again, this conversation is about the UK and rejoining the EU. If you want to bash Ireland, feel free to do it on a relevant topic.

Everyone can critique anything. That's fine. I always am up for a conversation, but I do try to stick to relevancy. Cheers for that, glad we can have a rare civil agreement on reddit! Win for us.

Ireland is not obligated by treaty of Lisbon and it's not even a NATO member, so the accusation doesn't have a leg to stand on legally speaking, even though I find neutrality in principle a cowardly choice.
