A personal solution to Irish troubles?

I WAS delighted to read Carmel Fitzsimons' Charterhouse Chronicle (Catholic Herald, 21 May).
She quotes Ken Livingstone's well known comment that "the British people have a right to expect that their leaders should either win the war or negotiate a peace", but where is this happening?

I suggest we have been brainwashed into believing the problem of Northern Ireland is "intractable".
In view of all the suffering of the last twenty three years, it is time for the British people to demand a solution.
Last year in this paper, Professor Simon Lee invited anyone with an interest in Northern Ireland to submit ideas to Initiative 92, a commission of inquiry. I enclose my submission to that body.

There is no other solution long-term.

Generous financial provision for all northern Irish citizens, Protestant or Catholic, who might wish to leave the Province in the event of the re-unification of Ireland.
