It is so sad to read this. Petrol bombs in Carrickfergus. This is where my Grandfather was born. This is where the Forsythe family really got into money making, in the 19th century. The Forsythe's have ever been pragmaticists and traders, not ideologues. They have also been internationalists. Family members, close family members live in Spain, Canada and Chile. Despite being born in Norfolk, my love blossomed in Dumbarton. Since 1986 my life has been led in crossing constantly (until March 2020) a Border that should be of no consequence. Many warned on this account (so John Batts) constantly of the perils posed to peace by Brexit. Because I am not an ideologue I recognise problems with the EU. And yes it would appear Leave more so than Remain has a stronger suite over the vaccine. But to take either of those options is ridiculous because what is at stake is the precious unity of the British Isles. Those who don't see that because Westminster is unimpressive the best solution is to rat on it and on the English leave me cold. Everyone in these islands are one British kith and kin. It is called geography and it is nuts to try and escape it just as it is nuts to try and escape Europe as our most significant trading partner. In the EU we had a deal better than Germany's but the ideologues and purveyors of division could not see it. So whether you are a Scottish Nationalist or an English one you both are one of a kind. Violence is no solution and compromise and renewal in faith in hope are the only ways forward.
