    Northern Ireland is sovereign British territory, it's not "occupied".

    Your advocating self determination?

    Highly unlikely to be built for several reasons - cost, unexploded ordinance for example.

    Colonial occupation? Yes, some would say that.

    The difference between that part of the world and this is that disagreeing with the bridge, talking about 'colonial occupation' and suggesting that the more likely end result is the reunification of Ireland, is not going to end up with people facing lengthy prison sentences under national security legislation.

    Just looking for clarification. Under some NSL's such advocation or discussion could land you with a lengthy prison term in some jurisdictions.

    Thank you for the grammatical correction but your belief that part of the UK & NI is an occupied part of another nation suggests you believe it should not stay that way. So you are either advocating self determination or secession by other means. That would be an illegal thing to suggest for other parts of the world but you seem to 'enjoy' and use the freedom quite freely here. Amusing wouldn't you agree?

    This bridge might make more sense than Zhuhai Bridge...

    What was the result of the referendums?

    By foreign you mean Scottish?




    Anyway you really do seem to be enjoying these freedoms of speech. Perhaps the UK should make it illegal for you to discuss such matters. What do you think?
