A new country, a fresh beginning. We move forward.

Wired is just teasing you.

Whereas I am genuinely annoyed at the fact that I can't wear my tartan miniskirt in Belfast without getting major hassle from the republican
nationalists.
The orange lot only come after me when they see my tartan microskirt.
Or on a Sunday.

Alba independence

I already answered that question earlier on. Of course I want a unified Ireland.

Again, putting words in my mouth. You engage in bad faith, it is not endearing

I have my own experiences with the Lodge in Liverpool, but it doesn't involve skirts! :laugh;

No.
I don't think that there is much enthusiasm for it within Northern Ireland or Britain as a whole.
Within fringe circles there have always been dissident movements and hardcore revolutionaries with an aggressive separatist agenda.
Even within the fringes of the unionist loyalist side talking about an independent ulster where two counties are dumped upon the Republic of Ireland.

That said, there is a lot of anger and social tension within mainstream circles in NI that trouble-making elements are trying to exploit for their own ends.
Nationalism & religion have long been the main and most effective propaganda tools.
Attempting to weaponize issues like: changes to NIs abortion laws, introduction of civil partnerships & gay marriage, brexit, annual loyalist parades and heritage/language teaching in schools.

Are u northern irish?

The only way it's a fresh beginning is if we dump this government in the sea tomorrow morning. You're about to learn first hand what we've been telling you for years - the problems this country faces are home made and perpetuated by a succession of poor governments. The EU is far from perfect, it's far too attached to neoliberalism as an ideology and as a result happily enforces the development of a stark wealth gap and the destruction of communities being choked by the "invisible hand of the free market", but you're a fool if you don't think that the UK has been a major driver of that ideology through Thatcher and her acolytes like Blair and Cameron. There will be no great improvements, because the root issue is still there - you'll never "make Britain great again" or whatever your slogan will be until you recognise your actual enemy and yeet the billionaires into the sun where they belong

Happy Brexit day.
We are gone.

Why do you want northern ireland to leave a strong and stable Union?

They add to the diversity of our nation.

But then the Union Jack won't look as cool

Now that is a flag and a half

Yeah but I wasn't bothered enough to do that It could be the red from the welsh flag no?
