Been seeing outraged posts all day about the recent UK election.

It'll be interesting to see how many move to Ireland before and after the merde hits the rotary impellers.

I have been hearing reports of companies shifting to the Republic from the UK for a while now. I worry about Ireland having the Troubles come back.

It's amazing to look at how many people have been killed in the name of religion, you'd hope that "we" as the human race could rise above it.  I would hope that the Troubles would be gone for good, but just in the last year there's been killings. Sadly I'm a pessimist about the human race maturing.  Some countries seem more mature than others, few of them English-speaking (Canada and NZ seem more mature than the other English-speakers to me, which isn't to say they're flawless).

To be fair, it's not like atheists don't murder for stupid causes too.

Very.  Stupidity and murder often go hand-in-hand.

I have a feeling that if the Troubles flare even hotter, the drive is going to be economic with sectarian trappings.
