From the news desk;

Northern Ireland, a vexed and throny issue if ever there was one,
apparently face a forking path: either May lands a deal with the
Continental powers or else there will be a referendum on the future of the
enclave. At least so sayeth one Sinn Fein MP:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/oct/15/sinn-fein-we-will-demand-referendum-on-northern-lreland-in-event-of-no-deal-brexit

“You could not countenance such damage and disruption to our island and
imagine that we will simply be philosophical about it and move on,” she
said.

The question is of course WHAT KIND of philosophy the MP refuses to
acknowledge. Surely stoicism is a candidate here?

Mvh. / Yours sincerely,
