Northern Ireland

[sinkov]

If there is a hard border then the IRA could easily see it as a chance to further their aims.

So they're going to start blowing up innocent women and children again ? Jesus wept, and these people are now running Northern Ireland. I doubt they will anyway, time is on their side, all they need to do is wait until they have the numbers and Northern Ireland will be delivered to the Republic in the promised referendum, its just a matter of time and demographics, no need for bombs and Armalites any more.

The latest census (2011) showed that in Northern Ireland 48% were Protestants and 45% Catholic. This does not mean that they would vote that way in a referendum but it shows how tight a vote is likely to be.

The great pity is that we found that everyone we met was friendly and welcoming and they are just happy to get along with life. As usual, it is a small number of extremists (on both sides) who whip up the bother.

You say that these people are running Northern Ireland Sinkov. But Stormont has not sat since January 2017. And, to be honest, the place seems to be doing very nicely thank you without them.

If a hard border with Ireland is reinstated then it could be the catalyst for the bovver boys to re-emerge.

Like I say, I hope I am totally wrong, but if you look at some places in Belfast and Londonderry it makes you wonder...

The truth is Westminster would love to pass the parcel to Dublin, but they keep on singing the old Elvis tune, "Return to Sender!"

Good afternoon 59/60. At the 2001 census the figures were RC 40.2 %, Non RC Christian 45.6 %. Ten years later the RCs were almost there, 2011 census RC 40.8 %, Non RC Christian 41.6 %. It's something our government tries it's best to ignore, but it's coming down the line at a rate of knots, the referendum which will mean Ulster leaving the UK.

It always bemuses me, the derision and scorn poured on Trump and others by the Left, yet we've had IRA murderers like Adams and McGuiness running Ulster and no one on the Left seemed to bat an eyelid.

My experiences of people who believe in left of centre politics also believe in Republicism. A united Ireland run by the good folk of Ireland is one for the pot and good riddance to the Royalty and their hordes of hangers on for another.

I suppose all you Royalists are wetting yourselves at the prospect of watching another horse drawn parade riding through Windsor with yet another overly privileged piece of Royal totty dressed up to the nines at our expense?

What on earth has this drivel got to do with child murderers running Ulster ? Are you on the sauce early BT, after Sunday I wouldn't blame you.

What about the child murderers running Westminster, or have you conveniently forgotten about Syria, Yemen and Iraq sinkov?

A bit of whataboutery BT doesn't alter the fact that you lefties work yourselves up into a lather about a second rate buffoon like Trump, but are quite supportive of vile murderers like McGuiness and Adams, in fact your leader seems in thrall to them. I shouldn't really wonder at it though, just more typical lefty hypocrisy.

A united Ireland is no longer a hypothetical, absurd idea. It is now inevitable and the DUP had better be prepared for when that day comes, because I don't think there are enough law enforcement officers on the Emerald Isle to protect them.

Hahahahaha I live in Ireland, have friends in Derry (not Londonderry) Belfast Cork Galway Enniskillen Irvinestown
All of those people who live there might have different religions in 2011 or 1975, wages, lifestyles. The have even different pets.
One thng they all have in common.
They can't stand other people deciding over there lives.
One reason why most of the worlf hates the English. Opinionated, self righteous, arrogant.

Not my words.
The only thing hated more than an Englishman.. Is an American

So. There are idiots everywhere and the people of Derry have enough issues with high unemployment

There will never be a hard border, anyone discussing this is a fool. We revert back to laws pre 1974. Get a grip. And stop discussing things you know nothing about.
