When you dedicate your life to cars and punching Irishmen and the best example of the former is a Rover you probably end up with a different perspective of how your country appears on the world stage.

Northern Irish protestants don't just "feel" british - they are almost 100% the descendants of English and Scotish settlers and therefore in many ways more british than millions of people living in the rest of the UK and probably more so than some people putting comments on this article.

So transport them 100 percent Englishers/Scotts back to England, let Ireland reclaim the island and put the tariff border in the sea?

Sounds like a plan John.

And the week after the referendum Clarkson wrote an entire column calling the Leave voters small-minded, backwards, xenophobic morons and reviewing a 1950s Wolseley because that was clearly the sort of thing they wanted to read about.

All well and good, except that for the past 30-odd years he's been one of the biggest popular media figures who was always banging on about Barmy Brussels And Their Bendy Banana Rules, rubbishing any sort of EU-sourced environmental or safety legislation as an EUSSR plot to undermine Britain and filling every other sentence with casual stereotypes about the French or Germans. He even did an entire TV series in between Top Gear iterations where he just drove around Europe in a Jaguar being arrogant and lovely to foreigners.

Yeah, he's also on record as a Francophile, has said nice things about the German socio-economic model in his more considered moments and has written about what a good idea a United States of Europe would be as far back as the early 1990s...but that just means he's been slinging crap that he doesn't even sincerely believe just appeal to a certain large and lucrative British male audience and to 'own the libs'. You don't get to do that and then go "I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, that you've all voted to leave the EU when I've been feeding you a steady stream of xenophobic and casually racist bollocks for the past three decades."

IIRC the Romans liked oysters, fried mice, flamingo tongues, and whole roast eel

Two of those things are great, so I'd be willing to try the other two. Were there a lot of flamingos in north Africa in ancient times? That's a hell of a delicacy.

Didn't they lose the knowledge of how to make garum long before tomatoes came into use. Hell they thought tomatoes were poisonous for a while and used them as decoration

not really even if it fell out of fashion. They continued making and using garum on a small scale in parts of Greece and southern Italy pretty much up to the modern day

and yes the recipe is almost identical to Thai fishsauce and similar to Worcester.

here's a video showing the production of a modern Italian fishsauce that is very similar to garum. The main difference is in this video they remove the guts of the fish, whereas the Romans used guts exclusively in the highest grade of garum. It makes a difference because the enzymes in the fishes stomach actually contribute to breaking down and almost digesting the fish itself

Voting in NI has required ID for as long as I can remember. Either a passport or the photo ID card part of a driver's license. Or you can go to the nearest Electoral Office with proof of address and get your photo taken and they send out an Electoral ID card within a few days.
