Every country has "state propaganda " why do you think Brexit happened? Of course the Irish are still in Europe whilst we're still scrambling around trying to deal with the fallout of the lies boris and his gang have been spouting out as "state propaganda"Kinda like Iceland where you play Ponzi until it fails and guess what? The rich get richer and the poor say "good luck to the lad"
Not a third world country in GDP terms but very much backward in believing the state sponsored propaganda that shopping in Tesco (where prices are half of the Irish equivalent) is "a penny in the purse of the English Queen".
A quote taken from official government "guidance" on crossing the border to go to supermarkets.
As long as its one of our own lads exploiting us then sure, its grand.
I know. Off topic....
