Do you get off on this stuff? It's common courtesy to show your guest in and follow them. She was simply being courteous. "Put him in his place" FFS
Is it possible to interpret this approach as anything other than, "Leave the EU and there will be violence ... and it will all be on your heads for leaving the EU"? If it is possible, what is an alternate take? If it isn't possible, then is the response to be appeasement or resistance to this threat of violence? If appeasement, surely it would have been better to have given in to the IRA decades ago? Should we do so now? I have realised I know nothing of Irish/Northern Irish politics and history, so I am here to learn now.
I'd love to know who McDonald blames for the violence by sinn fein and all of it's military associates/linked since the gfa and whilst being in the eu and before brexit? and whether she accepts any blame at all. She has no wish for reconciliation at all
Would you care to explain to readers what the colours of the Irish flag symbolise and relate that to your post above?
Its more complicated than Brexit, the whole NI thing. Some of the violence though is labelled as political, IRA, UDA etc when it is no more than gangland war, corruption and thuggery.
Perhaps you should answer my question first? If sien fienns folly "is if you fucking brits dare use democracy in your own democratic country to answer a democratic question then we are going to bring back the guns", then perhaps they have been to the chinese training camps already?
I would have thought that the risk of a return to violence in a (remaining) member state, would be enough to make the EU want to get back round the table to search for an acceptable compromise solution. It's not all 'The UK' ffs. There are 2 parties involved in this 'divorce', but it seems only one is expected to compromise/give in. Either that, or the EU is quite happy to see a return to violence (if that's what will happen) in Ireland?
Article 50 is a process and not a negotiation. Unfortunately idiots like BiJob con people into thinking it’s a negotiation.
Here is an answer to your first question taken from Wikipedia The influence of the Orange Order in the governance of Northern Ireland was far-reaching. All of the six prime ministers of Northern Ireland were members of the Order, as were all but three cabinet ministers until 1969. Three of the ministers later left the Order, one because his daughter married a Catholic, one to become Minister of Community Relations in 1970, and the third was expelled for attending a Catholic religious ceremony. Of the 95 Stormont MPs who did not become cabinet ministers, 87 were Orangemen. Every unionist senator, with one exception, between 1921 and 1969 was an Orangeman. One of these senators, James Gyle, was suspended from the Order for seven years for visiting nationalist MP Joe Devlin on his deathbed. Or is that fake news?
If you are justifying 20 years of semi peace but failures of sinn fienn to bring their gun men to bear and feel okay with the people of ireland on both sides being told, use the democracy we don't agree with, we will shoot you as acceptable and justify it with a wiki quote, then your a bigger plank than I thought you were, move on dinosaur the ballot not the bomb is what the people want
I am not justifying anything. I am educating you to the background of NI. You may wish to remember that a no deal Brexit renders the GFA worthless. That is a fact. The EU acting as a guarantor is dead Direct rule is about to be imposed So what’s going to happen? You wish to apply analysis and logic instead of picking a side
You may wish to remember that a no deal Brexit renders the GFA worthless. That is a fact. Has been shown to be a lie as the U.K. has said the gfa is too important to put up hard borders of old, you know this. You also know if there is any border it will be on the Irish side at the insistence of the eu who value the single market more than the gfa. I've had enough of childish politicians in Ireland, particularly sinn fien who claim to be democratic then claim the guns will come out every time they don't get their own way. If they are worried about gunmen, then call the Guarda, like civilised people do.
Yeah, I get that. But the onward relationship (the bit that will have an impact on Ireland) is a negotiation. Seems it's the EU that is taking the position of 'We're done with it. The UK must take it, or leave it'. A rather irresponsible stance imo.
The eu repeated as did we, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. The eu commission negotiators knew they could not sign it of till the eu 27 said yes and they also knew nothing was agreed here till it went through parliament. They saw it go through 3 times and fail based on votes from almost every party of every view on brexit and yet, since July of last year, the only thing they have offered is deal or no deal. You cannot negotiate with a player who wants to play snap
