How dare the Irish stand up for their interests? Ireland should just go along with what Britain wants even if it is detrimental to Irish interests. UK politicians have completely pulled the wool over the eyes of the British population especially people like Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. There are a lot of other issues as well but they completely ignored the ramifications of the Irish border despite it being mentioned numerous times. Now the Irish are the bullies for making sure there would be no border in Ireland. So this makes them the bad guys. People are being very jaundiced and one-eyed here but these sort of views are only a certain section of Britain. It depends on what British papers you read as Papers like The Daily Mail and The Express are on a race to the bottom and are full of BS but I wonder why their clientele believes them?

legacy of the empire i think, and a cultural superiority complex over others...particularly the Irish

question:

why can't south asians pronounce the letter V ?

ask most of them to say "victory" and they'll pronounce it as "wictory"

Or B in the case of Filipinos. It's just a linguistic thing. You write Visayas but say Bisayas.

Or like us Arabs where we don't have the sound for 'P' which is why you find us say thing like barking instead of parking or barty instead of party, rofl. Though, 2,000 years ago we did have the sound back then according to Ahmad al-Jallad and the old Arabic inscriptions from that time period.

God.. it almost reminds me what Johan de Witt (Dutch Grand Pensioner) once had to say about the English.

"De Engelsen blijven altijd Engelsen en de veranderingen hunner regeringen scheppen geen veranderingen in hun temperamenten"

(And this was to be taken very negatively by a man who ended up having to lead three wars against them because of London's actions: "The English will always remain the English and any changes in government do not lead to any changes in their mentality.') Maybe we got taken in by them a bit too much after WWI and II and learned to forget about the Four Days' Battle or the concentration camps in South Africa where our kin were starved to death. Time to expand the Navy, I say. You never know when those ships may be needed. There is a reason why Dutch used to be very pro-German right up to 1914 (until the Germans invaded Belgium): they were the only ones who hadn't stabbed us in the back yet.

Yeah. The Boers were treated like shit back then. Well, Boris Johnson right now isn't getting along with Trump recently:

So..maybe things can turn around for the UK?

I don't care what becomes of them. They made their bed and they can lay in it. They broke ranks and left our collective phalanx unprotected.
