The idea of a bridge between Scotland and the north-east of Ireland has been the subject of a considerable amount of media interest recently. The present British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, along with the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in Northern Ireland, Arlene Foster, have been keen to promote the idea. Not least because it is seen as a means of strengthening the union between Britain and the last remnant of the British colony in Ireland.

I have often seen the Irish War of Independence (1919-21) as being the defining moment when the colonised people of the globe started to throw of the shackles of their colonial occupiers.
