      That's rather insensitive. The Irish have a bit of history regarding potatoes.

        There was a time when they would have been glad of being pelted by potato peelings.

            I think the easiest solution is o hand NI over to Ireland.
            What if Ireland doesn't actually want NI?
            The UK government pays NI about 10 billion a year and in return the Irish up north pretend to be British. Would the Republic give them 10 billion?
            If Norway gave be £10000 a year then I promise to tell everyone that I am Norwegian.
