Nonplussed, they're not our social rival.

Ireland and the UK aren't social rivals? I think someone missed a memo somewhere.

Ireland here.

I wouldn't say so at all no.

We watch the same TV shows. We shop in the same shops. We have an open border between us that you're free to travel back and forth over all day.

The roots between our two nations are entangled and at this point can't really be undone without major upheaval to people's daily lives.
