Partitionist media

[seafoid]

The forces that keep NI separate from the rest of the island are not just political . Some of the most important are cultural. Partition works by exclusion. 

One company works on both sides of the border to keep the status quo going 
It wouldn't be hard to open things up a bit.

No Nordies in Irish "celebrities" for the ladies.

No southerners in the Northern equivalent

There are exceptions for sports stars and very famous people but at ground level this is how it works.

Bad example .  I don't give a 5bite about these needy narcissists in the free state and I couldn't give a Donald Duck about their equivalents in the O6,

The Indo stable is shallow and vacuous regardless of side of the border .

Seaf really needs to get out more

[Avondhu star]

Not one political party in the Republic, including Sinn Fein, are making any effort to show the economic and social benefits of a United Ireland.
Post Brexit there is great potential for agriculture, tourism and other markets. With the proper negotiations we can still maintain access to the British market while increasing involvement in the European and Asian markets.

The Orange Telegraph is a hideous paper.

The Independent is the Free State equivalent of the Daily Mail.

[Rossfan]

Free State went out of existence 30 Dec 1937
Independent is still a rag though.

They are only operating under the commercial necessity and reality of two different states.

As an opponent of the Good Friday Agreement I thought you didn't recognise the reality of two different states.

[T Fearon]

You cannot deny reality

[Windmill abu]

We seem to have tried every political/economical solution to the "Northern problem" except. 1

A United Ireland

If any British government had the balls to stand up to the hate filled Scottish planters, " who went on to create the racist Ku Klux Klan," then we would not now be beholding to Arlene and her bigoted followers.

[armaghniac]

You cannot deny reality

You seem to manage quite  well.

[seafoid]

You cannot deny reality

The reality is that the catholics in NI are Irish.

[T Fearon]

Yes,and they along with their co religionists in the South overwhelmingly endorsed British Rule in the North in the Good Friday Agreement referendum

[Rossfan]

They endorsed reality i.e that until a majority of 6 Cos residents vote otherwise the status quo of the 6 Northeastern Cos.under British jurisdiction would remain.
If we had voted NO to the GFA would the Brits have packed their bags and gone home?

In 1951 four northern anti partition league MPs and 2 Nationalist  Senators at Stormont sought  admission to the Dáil as elected representatives of part of the national territory and were refused.


The media and the political class keep NI going.
