    Both myself and Biddy are aggrieved with Fidelma although my reason is much more shallow than Biddys. I thought she was her niece tbh. The dirt bird.

    No matter how many new IRA loons there are on this site it’s undeniable that Derry and Belfast are currently UK cities. Are you genuinely naive enough to imagine that the journal didn’t make a conscious decision to not include an NI city because it would rise a row among the Gerry cuddling journalistas???

    Hos-Dog would probably be accused of starting drama if he did it by others. I think you are over estimating the thought that went into this. No offence P-Hiddy.

    You can start the discussion here. Personally, I see it as an Irish city that is part of the UK….Yourself?

    But on the British Passports Tony it states “United Kingdom Of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland”, that shows by the wording that Northern Ireland is seen different, otherwise it would be “United Kingdom Of Great Britain” or United Kingdoms Of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”, that might answer your question?
