I suppose MichaelG's post really sums up the situation unfortunately. He probably considers himself to be a middle of the road unionist and would probably be considered as that by most posters on here, including myself who has always considered him to be reasonably levelheaded. In comparison to a lot of unionist commentators that is likely where he would be placed.
Therefore to see his comments that indicate that he thinks there is parity in NI for Nationalists is wile depressing. If a middle-of-the-road unionist can quote these as examples of parity and tell nationalists to be happy with their lot we are indeed a long long way from getting a solution here as God knows what a bitter unionist thinks in these terms if that's a mainstream position. Depressing.

I found this interesting (possibly because it aligns with my long held views). The 7 point plan is the absolute antithesis of Busby and what United should stand for.

Huddersfield helping Liverpool, should completely rest the team now for Madrid!
The champions league final isn't until the 26th of the month. Plenty of time to recover from the exertions of the Brighton game.

They applied for planning permission on this piece of land without contacting the church first to see if it would be ok. They have some cheek to come out now an play the "everyone is against us" card
I'm curious how can you apply for planning permission on land you don't own?

Why can they not put it elsewhere?

What happened around the Cup Final last week is further evidence (in my opinion) that 20 years after the GFA we now live in a more divided society than we did during the Troubles.
That's the core issue, that pervades all problems here.
No recognition or respect from the state , never mind unionism For an Irish identity here.
Unionism and the state had the opportunity in the 20 years post GFA to positively promote Irish identity as equal to British identity, which was the basic tenet of the GFA. It still hasn't happened.
This falsely manufactured statelet has had every opportunity for a century , to get its act together , but has failed.
They don't need to promote anything really, just stop running down anything Irish would be helpful. Tell their followers they have nothing to fear from taking an interest in anything considered Irish. Show them that, by attending a gaa match, go to Bundoran for the weekend, send their kids to Irish dancing. Anything to normalise issues.
Unionist politicans might think they are attacking SF when speaking, but they also attack ordinary people who love their sport, language, music, traditions etc.
