Nonsense, name 10 countries that consider N.I. a huge human rights issue, with evidence.

I don't think you understand the term 'Human rights'. No-one's human rights are being systematically abused in N.I. though they have been in the past. Political self determination (independence) isn't a Human Right in this context.

I really believe you have a very tenuous grasp on the N.I. (Ireland) situation. Perhaps you should read up a little, going back 600 years should suffice.

One could indeed. But then the present owners have had ample time to clean up and redecorate, but have they?

Why?

But you did so just now, and no-one attacked you, that I noticed.
