Peaceful, where you lads been past 50yrs, Loyalists not accept it, end of. same way the IRA didn't in the 70's.The outcome will be no different, only in reverse this time.

Are the Brits going to fund the loyalists this time? I doubt they have a 10th of the brain power the provos did. I don't think they'll do too much.

they dont need funding they can cause major disruption

Likely short term. No shipyard to down tools & march into city centre, no power plant to take over and cause power cuts.

A new settlement could easily kick the can down the road like Britain/China did with Hong Kong. It will be a 32 county country but Stormont still exists in a soft form and people can still choose to be British. Let the future politicians deal with it.

f**king wise up.
The c***ts can barely fill a single orange lodge for their wee sea border meetings.
The most they could muster was a burnt out bus on the Shankill and some graffiti in Larne.
The best political minds they have are sectarian idiots like Bryson and Moore Holmes.
The only weapons they have are lying rusted buried somewhere near Markethill.
The actual paramilitaries themselves are fractured, divided and more concerned with the importation and sale of narcotics.
They won't have the state on hand to turn a blind eye, facilitate or actively participate in murdering Catholics like they did before.
They couldn't match the IRA at the peak of the Troubles with all the help they could get, they'll hardly emulate them now.

There's also the problem for them the percentage of the population identifying as British is falling and what's left is ancient so not many of them are going to be capable of much, same as Unionists crying on about the Provo army Council, those men are ready for retirement

The recent protests of the Flag the Backstop and Protocol are the height of their powers, re major disruption.
1974 is long gone.
They have nothing keft but emoty threats and comical scaremongering

[Eire90]

they could ring bombscares into major social gathrings north and south and threaten to attack polling stations and confront politicians directly  north and south do major roadblocks to shut economy down.They could also make a deal with the far right in the south.

[thewobbler]

The far right huh?
