Ireland barely has an Army. Britain could conquer it and be home in time for Coronation Street. The question is why would we bother? It would be like adding a more violent Scotland to the Union.

Well, they legally prohibition fission power, or the use of electricity generated by fission power, so I'd be game for some regime change.

George Osborne: Don't change course on austerity

So even though it's becoming clearer that austerity policies are actually killing people, Osborne is desperate to keep his legacy.

Breaking news from the BBC, Tim Farron just stepped down as Lib Dems leader.
No details as yet.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40281300
Farron has already called a deputy leader election, and a news article on that topic was posted to the Lib Dem's website today.

They lost vote share and their single-issue Brexit campaign didn't resonate.

Their seat gains were mostly tactical voting against the Tories in some Labour-weak marginals, and against the SNP to oppose a second independence referendum.
Despite a seat gain, I'd consider it an electoral failure for them, not even considering Clegg being voted out.

Ireland's a US protectorate.

Maybe as it hispanicises they will stop caring, and then Ireland might return to the union.

Probably also because of Farron's distasteful personal views, I'd wager, which don't exactly resonate with the base.

So what is distasteful about his personal views? Given that most people labouring on that base it on "did not give a committal answer when badgered about whether homosexuality is a sin".
