Eh, what?
During the ITV show Peston on Sunday, presenter Robert Peston suggested that Ireland has “undermined” British governments for at least the last century.
During the discussion, the TV host was talking with renowned the Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg.
During the chat, Mr Peston says: “Ireland has undermined, the issue of Ireland in so many different ways has undermined, British governments, you know, going back well over 100 years now.”
Anyone got a history book handy?
Mr Rees-Mogg responded by suggesting that the issue of Ireland had undermined British politics for “much more than 100 years. It’s a very long and complex history.”
Mr Rees-Mogg added that it was “deeply disgraceful that people who wish to keep us in the European Union are threatening the spectre of a return to terror to try and make people accept their views”.
