    Looks like they've changed their mind now lol :D

    We apologise for the error in our colleague’s response. Our Prime Video subscribers in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK can access and watch the Rugby Autumn Nations Cup on Prime Video as part of their subscription.

    The matter of opinion post was tweeted by someone pretending to be Amazon Help. The account name is different, and there's no blue tick.

    Its a pretty poor showing by Amazon initially though.

    If you mean Northern Ireland they refer to themselves as British anyway no such thing as UKish
    If not
    Think we need to keep Scotland first. ( sorry Ian ) or I fear we’ll never get shut of Tories.
    Ireland would not entertain being part of the UK again. Ranked as one of the wealthiest countries. I don’t see the reason to rejoin. They’ve managed quite well without us.
    Be interesting to see if Scotland would/will cope.

    Tbf, often offers in the uk do have small print saying not available in NI. I assume because postage is more.

    Yes, postage will be more as it's over the Irish Sea. The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland though. :)

    Take Northern Ireland off and you're just left with Great Britain :)

    That's a bit strange, there was a blue tick last night and now the account has changed
