Jeg kommer fra et område mellem Danmark og Tyskland, hvor der har været krig og konflikt i mange herrens år og hvor man ved at give hinanden gensidige rettigheder, ved at respektere de nationale mindretal, ved at lade en grænse afgøre med folkeafstemning nåede frem til, at gamle fjender blev venner.
I come from an area between Denmark and Germany where there have been war and conflict for donkey’s years and where, by granting reciprocal rights, respecting national minorities and having the border determined by referenda, a situation was achieved in which old enemies became friends. I have experienced this process in Northern Ireland.
