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.

Keyser, what is missing in your life? do you suffer from inequality at work, play, social, schooling, job prospects?

If the state was run like that for 80 odd years and equality only started seeping in for the last 20 years I personally think thats quicker than I expected growing up... Nationalists have made huge strides in N.I over the last 20 years...If you don't see that then you are blind..

Nationalists will get there, just don't expect it over night or the previous 'owners' to be happy about it

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.


http://www.the42.ie/jose-mourinho-opinion-3999807-May2018/

And that is why Utd should have got Jose to replace Fergie after he retired, He'd have been gone by now but Utd would have at the very least won a few trophies and steadied the ship for a new young attacking minded manager..

Its hard to argue with his stats to be fair, and the lesser teams have used his own tactics against him by coughing up mistakes..For this season to be a sort of success Utd need to win the FA cup, Liverpool to lose the CL.. And I don't mean that in a bad way to Liverpool fans, I actually want Liverpool to win the CL, they have been the best team in the competition and Klopp (bar his one interview) is a really entertaining manager..

But that would be the only way Utd fans (in general) would see this season as a successful one.. As bad as it sounds!

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.

Madrid rested nearly all their main players tonight

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?

There has been plenty of these things erected all over N.I without planning

Why can they not put it elsewhere?

Cause someone else will probably oppose it?

Unnecessary too - who cares what he does in his private life?

FFS,
   It's hardly worth talking about..

Well you'd be surprised what famous people get done for, for doing things in their private lives  ;)  Some even lose their jobs and can't get work anywhere  :-X

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.
And it will unfortunately continue to be divided so long as the state reflects only one community.

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.
Bar the recent clamour for an Irish Language Act, what ways could unionism and the state promote Irish identity?

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.

I know a couple of Irish dancing schools in Loyalist areas, attended by Prods run by prods...

win the working class over! Stop ramming memorials down their throats would be a start, both sides need to catch themselves on, republicans and Nationalists need to embrace loyalists too, truth committees need to be set up, too much anger and hate at past killings and bring those stupid peace walls down and intergrate the schools, the rest should follow

Remember reading this beauty a while ago.

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/woman-buys-wine-leaves-it-on-shelf-in-different-dublin-shop-and-then-sues-for-20k-when-asked-if-she-paid-for-it-36479636.html

This bit at the end is the best


Independent.ie previously revealed how youths who were refused service after being accused of stealing from shops in Dublin city centre have been issuing solicitors letters threatening to sue for defamation.


In one of the letters, obtained by Independent.ie, the teenager claims the shop owner accused him of previously stealing from the shop and refused to serve him.

The shop owner said he refused to serve the teenager as he claims he has previously stolen chocolate bars from the shop.


The letter outlined how the teenager intended to sue for defamation unless he received proposals for compensation within seven days – due to being subjected to "defamation, embarrassment and humiliation".

No proceedings were ever issued
