woody2 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Sheer demand for travel will ensure that transport links between the UK and Ireland continue, the market will see to that. There are already ferry links between Ireland and the EU that bye-pass Britain, by the way, Cork to Roscoff (Brittany Ferries) and Rosslare to Cherbourg (Irish Ferries). In the light of Britain leaving the EU I can fully understand any holder of an Irish passport not wanting to pass through extra and possibly tedious passport controls. For sheer convenience anyway, why would you touch Great Britain if you were travelling from Ireland to France? As you say there are direct ferry links and have been since before Britain and Ireland joined the EEC. your missing the point, some irish politicians want no service to britain and to join schengen, yet most of their trade is with britain not the eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Wrong guess. In this case it does not. Don't be silly. That FBT track trivialised an important issue. And it was very weak - like bad school poetry. And it hasn't aged well at all. Compared with, say, Ghost Town, which was more subtly political and observational - and they were writing about something they knew. There was relatively little pop music which worked politically. The best examples addressed issues in a much more subtle manner. Thinking of, say, Marvin Gaye. The Bach piece, by contrast, intelligently addresses themes around suffering and persecution in a manner which is both beautiful and profound. I think your Brahms and Liszt.
