I just want to write something about the political situation in Northern Ireland- I don’t want to speak for Irish people, but I think it’s important people who live in Britain take an interest and understand what’s going on.

Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland is meant to have devolution, with it’s own parliament. There’s a strict agreement about powersharing between the parties.

In the last 6 years, Northern Ireland has had a functioning parliament for two of them. This is largely due to the DUP blocking the formation of a cabinet that doesn’t serve their interests. The liberal ideal of “just vote” isn’t working.

One of the more recent and significant events are that in 2022, the DUP first minister resigned due to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal- a Brexit deal which very clearly disregarded the Good Friday Agreement, and Northern Ireland in general. This essentially caused the dissolution of the parliament and led to elections in May 2022.

For the first time, Sinn Fein won the most seats, meaning the first minister would be someone from the party. But the DUP were unhappy, and refused to participate in the election of a speaker, meaning the government could not function. Due to the DUP’s behaviour, just like from 2017-2020, there’s currently no NI assembly. And it seems like the DUP know if they just hold out long enough, they’ll force another election.

And presumably they’ll keep doing this until they get the result they want.

People tell us to “just vote”. Well, the people of Northern Ireland did vote, and the party in power refused to relinquish their interests. Meanwhile, catholic republican communities continue to be discriminated against in all sorts of ways- including by the police. The police, furthermore, are a symbol (and a practical force) of Britain’s colonial occupation of Northern Ireland.

Against this backdrop, what other recourse do young Irish people have but violence?

❝ Stelle, you're such a wonderful and charming friend. But I really do think you've got the wrong impression of Sampo ! ❞

of course was she wonderful , and charming no less ; there was no mistake ! although , such sweetened words , powdered with sugary , meant all for to be rewarded with lovable pats on the back ; a compliment for compliment , that is the exchange . such words stuffed of kindness , whereas deeds differed . mind knew best , however just this once , may she play this game , taking upon the role of the naive . she cocked her head , finger pressing against her lip in thought , soon enough , she spoke ;

“ huh , that’s weird . . ”  gaze wandered elsewhere ; roaming through the depths of her thought . “ i always seen you as the begging and receiving type , always asking for more . ” getting on both knees , cupping both hands together in prayer for some aid , donations of several goodies , and it’s never enough – oh no .

“ but maybe … you’re right , maybe you can be the giving type , and you can start by helping your friend out . ” and right then – she extends her hand toward him ; expecting to be given credits , of course !

1/ Rejectionist Unionism is still grappling with the cold reality of modernity and loss of veto on the affairs and control of the previously subordinated minority, exposing their insatiable need to kettle & police their neighbours as enemies. The anti-GFA Dup have always been

2/ against powersharing.Brexit offered the opportunity to turn the clock back to pre-1972 supremacist regime hegemony. It backfired spectacularly now Brexit is ravaging unionism itself.The DUP don’t want any deal. They wanted a border!They got one, but not the one they wanted. 3/3 The mindset has landed us all with the inevitable confirmation that bigots themselves are incapable of…

If the UK win, the DUP will probably use it as another reach not to form an executive #theunionisstrongwiththisone
