Brussels Globalists take Northern Ireland

 
The politics of Northern Ireland have entered a crisis. For the first time ever, the winner of the Northern Ireland Assembly elections were Sinn Féin. The central republican party won a landslide victory. This means that the Northern Ireland Executive, being two leaders, one nationalist and one unionist with equal powers, must include the Sinn Féin candidate, the glamorous young party vice president Michelle O'Neill, as First Minister. She has already served as Deputy First Minister. However, the DUP have stated that they will refuse to nominate a Deputy First Minister because of concerns over the post-Brexit trade agreement (I consider this a phoney war, see background link below). There is going to be a meeting at Stormont on Friday to try and resolve the issue. The Sinn Féin story is a very familiar one and it mirrors almost perfectly that of Plaid Cymru and the SNP. It was founded in 1905 as an Irish nationalist party, seeking independence from the United Kingdom, an issue that had dominated Irish society and politics for over seven hundred years. This was achieved in 1921, yet a century later that same organization was singing a very different tune. During the establishment of the EEC Sinn Féin opposed European integration, but today describes itself as "critical, but supportive, of the EU" and does not advocate withdrawal from the European Union. After seven hundred years of struggle for freedom from Britain, they are now handing themselves over to another empire willingly on a plate, after barely a century of sovereignty. The irony is indescribable. I wish I could say it was unique, but I see the same mentality in the other so-called "Celtic" countries. They are disarmed by the delusion that it is physically impossible for their countries to have any other foreign enemy than England. So what we have now is both Irish governments in Dublin and Belfast ruled by pro-Brussels globalists. Sinn Féin's principle goal is for a united Ireland and they have a plan for a referendum on the subject within five years. What was once a pipe dream is suddenly staring Ireland in the face. Source: https://www.ft.com/content/53592270-98aa-4030-812a-dc019461b8d7. Public opinion in the province has shifted; previously being overwhelmingly unionist, but now only half of the population are favour being in the UK. A significant minority, 37%, want unity with the Irish republic. I'm not sure what has caused this recent seismic shift; maybe Brexit and Covid, the usual suspects. Whatever it is, a united Ireland in today's geopolitical climate would be a catastrophe. A large chunk of Brexit Britain would be broken off and absorbed into the EU. This will probably be called the "Ulster Strategy" and the globalists will then apply it to Wales and Scotland; in fact we already see the first signs of that now. Pretty soon a fragmented UK would no longer be able to resist the Brussels onslaught. I implore the Irish people not to be bamboozled by melodramatic sentiments about "freedom". It is a fake freedom!

    This would never have occurred without Brexit, 'you reap what you sow' and no more so than the DUP.

    The NI population didn't vote for Brexit and have never wanted to leave the EU (55.7% remain result the highest in the UK regionally).

    You also appear to have mistaken Sinn Fein gaining a majority over the DUP as some globalist agenda. Sinn Fein vote share went down in actuality this election, the NI population are rejecting orange/green politics and switching to the centrist non nationalist/unionist 'alliance' party and in all likelihood would prefer to remain in a UK that was part of the EU. The result was more seats lost by the Unionists and no gain for Sinn Fein.

    I predicted this prior to the Brexit vote and was ridiculed and called a 'project fear monger' but know the situation first hand having both coming from Antrim, having friends and relatives living there and having more knowledge than the average Conservative politician it seems...

    Hi FCUK. The rise of the Alliance Party is an interesting development which I omitted. However, I do state in the article I'm not sure what the cause of public opinion shift is. Despite this, there is an EU globalist strategy going on. When you compare what's happening in NI to other countries; you cannot claim that is merely coincidence.

    Hi Ben, I think it's pretty clear the shift in public opinion is the result of Brexit or rather the DUP (as the main unionist party) poor handling of it by not accounting for not only their voters wishes but the NI population as a whole. No more so than the current protocol issue that the majority are happy with and is working in favour of N.Irish business but ideologically the DUP hate (being treated differently to the rest of the UK)

    Their latest refusal to appoint a deputy first minister is viewed extremely poorly in N. Ireland from all parties and population. The only point I disagree with you in is that I don't see this election result being in any way part of any 'globalist agenda' more a direct consequence of NI politics that has been going on since the dark days of the troubles and to this day following the Good Friday agreement.

    What should be remembered is N.Ireland was 'Gerrymandered' on creation to never allow a nationalist majority to govern. The GFA enshrined power-sharing which whilst seen at the time as the solution is now not fit for purpose when 20% of the NI population views itself as neither unionist or nationalist.

    The other issue is 'nationalists' would want a united Ireland regardless of EU membership but there is now a sizeable 'undecided' group that desire being part of the EU regardless if that's being part of the UK or reuniting Ireland. It should also be remembered that decades of the troubles were to join an Ireland that wasn't part of the EU but rather to reunite an 'occupied' region.

    Although a very different scenario you can't agree with Russian separatists joining Russia on one hand and disagree with Irish 'separatist's' wanting to join Ireland simply because Ireland joined the EU during 'the struggle' as the nationalists labelled it without coming across as extremely hypocritical.

    If you ever want a deeper discussion on N.Ireland politics I'm always happy to oblige.

    Sure, FC. Go ahead.

    I have to differ with you on this not being a globalist agenda for the reasons I've stated, although I don't deny the people of NI have had their world turned upside down by Brexit, not because of Britain's independence from the European superstate per se, but from the engineered obstacles dumped into the path of it. The NI Eire border suffers from the problems that always happens with partitioning. You always get minorities trapped on the wrong side of the line. The same thing happened with India and Pakistan.

    I don't agree that there's any hypocrisy with my position on the Russia-Ukraine situation. It's a totally different scenario. What's more I'm not opposed to a united Ireland as a foundational concept; I'm opposed to it happening right here and right now as part of a scheme to abolish Ireland as a nation, culture and people altogether. As I said to Thomas Baden-Riess, I'm a tactical unionist in practice, not a permanent unionist in principle.

    Ireland has been part of the EU since 1972 joining around the same time as the UK so I'm not sure your statement "right here and right now as part of a scheme to abolish Ireland as a nation" holds any water. In the same way as any other member state of that hasn't been abolished. Your claims smack of fear of the EU rather than N Ireland leaving the UK which is an inevitability eventually but being speeded up by Brexit and ultimately on steroids now the DUP are going against the will of the people of N.Ireland. The border issue is 'engineered' only in the sense that somehow the 'Brexiteers' forgot the land border with the EU and the Good Friday agreement surrounding it so need to make something work that all sides agree. Theresa May did but sadly she was replaced along with that agreement resulting in the Irish sea border currently from BJ's government in his rush to 'get Brexit done'.

    As I have said before 'you reap what you sow' and Brexit is a catalyst to an Irish reunification not globalist cabals.

    I wish more people would understand that the problem with the Northern Ireland protocol and Brexit is that Great Britain voluntarily drew a border around itself. The problem is not Ireland’s, it’s Britain’s. We made it. No one else is to blame. And the EU is respecting our wishes

    FC, I'm not sure at all whether or not the partition was a good thing. It may well have been a terrible mistake, but that happened over 100 years ago. It's too late now. Also I'm not opposed to a united Ireland in foundational principle, in fact it will probably happen eventually, one way or another. It does in the fictional scenario in my Roswell novels. Hopefully that will be in the post-Illuminati future. My point is that in this day and age the will for unification is being harnessed to an agenda for tyrannical world government. I know you disagree, but I've explain why I think as I do.

    The border problems with Brexit are merely a spanner in the works thrown in deliberately by the Remoaners. The border between NI and the Irish republic has been one of the most functional in history (It's even helped scruffy haired radio engineers build pirate radio stations). Do you really think a bilateral trade deal could not physically be arranged between the two states IF Brussels didn't want to sabotage Brexit? I cover this subject in great detail in the background link.

    What's your take on the egging of the Thatcher statue Ben?

    What do you make of the egging of the Thatcher statue Ben? Shouldn't we be protecting our monuments to our great leaders?

    Lenny and Anon.
    I consider it a valid act of political public expression. Egging does no damage; it just creates a temporary defacement. I would be opposed to the statue being pulled down the way so many others have. I don't consider Margaret Thatcher "great!", but I feel less derision for her than I used to.
