Quote from: Tubberman on September 27, 2026, 09:26:31 AMTime to wind the whole NI thing up.

Start serious planning for the new Ireland, start serious campaign for a border poll, start serious dialogue with unionists to involve them in the planning for both.

Maybe mention that to MM. He doesn't seem interested. Actually he's against it.

Yep. No coincidence.

Maybe the SDLP should go after the Donaldson thing hard.Sinn Fein always had Gerrys brother fired bck at them, so that hinders them. Brutal day out there for standing out, while them holed up in a Heated Hall.

Advocating that someone try to make political hay out of a child sex abuse case. Give your head a f**king wobble.

Is "they do it with Liam Adams, so maybe we should give it a go" really the best the we can aspire to? Embarrassing.

Nail on head!
As its now 10 am presumably any Orange parade would now be illegal?

One thing for sure is, there will never be an  orange march on the Garvaghy Road again.

Ever.

Fair play to  the residents.

The British Media are doing an outstanding job reporting the situation of as Sky News have just described it the March beginning at Drumcree church and ending at St Patrick's Catholic Church on Carleton Street

What is there to go after? The trial is over? Who are you going after and for what?
I don't understand this.

The UK is a collapsing failed state and NI is its fetus and they will do everything in their power to upset the unity talks.

Unrest is coming to Europe it has been telegraphed for what 11 years now?

would be foolish to think the North will remain untouched.

Yup, 100%

make no mistake though it suits both big parties to have the upcoming election on a culture war basis and distract from having achieved nothing - both being squeezed by a re-energised middle.

Hard to see Stormont surviving in the aftermath of this debacle. I for one would be happy to see the end of it.

The OO would be banned anywhere else.

If it was explicitly anti Jewish its main leaders would also be in jail.

Who knew what and when maybe? Theres definitely questions needing answered there but not as a political football.

Is this because the DUP is behind thr Uup and electorally fucked?

The North isn't unstable like in the 90s.
