    …The fuck were the Tories doing. Did they seriously just. NOT visit Dublin for five whole years?

    I mean, I guess that 2019 IS around about the point where the Tories had a little miniature communist-style purge of every competent, sensible politician in the party that wouldn’t kiss BJ’s ass and allow for a godawful Brexit deal to be shoved through against a changed public will and also common sense, so actually the five year failure to uphold basic obligations makes a lot of sense when taken in context with that particular timeframe…

      No, they were leaving the EU, not visiting it. To be fair, the queen did go for the first time in a long time.

        Although the context in that was because of the Troubles, and the Royal Family making state visits isn’t a routine thing
