Ulsterman and IRA meeting in a pub somewhere in Ireland.
Ulsterman: Long time.
IRA: Aye. Suppose it's a reasonable time to apologize about your cousin ah.
Ulsterman: What, feeding him live to bloody pigs? Eh, it was a long time ago and I never really liked him. Guess I should apologize about that pub bomb.
IRA: I didn't really need hearing in that ear anyway. So...
Ulsterman: So... You still got some connections and what?
IRA: Aye. Some packages coming in. You fella me lads still got friends in the Regiment?
Ulsterman: Aye. We've spoken. They're in.
IRA: Glad they'll be our side this time.
Ulsterman, raising glass: Here’s to absent friends. And here’s twice to absent enemies.
There was a picture posted by the Ulsterman website of two stout young fellas walking side by side, masked, one carrying the Ulsterman flag the other SINN FEIN!
For those who don't get that... The meme is the metaphor.
The metaphor goes something like this:
'When Ulster and IRA walk shoulder to shoulder... World has either come to an end or someone's is about to.'
Fucking Starmer has no idea what he has unleashed.

To protect yourself from COVID, I advise my Irish brothers to:
• Wear a mask.
• Use decentralized encrypted mesh networks like BitChat to communicate over short distances (a crowd or a city block).
• Avoid transmitting sensitive data over apps like Telegram or Signal. GCHQ can read it.
• For sensitive information, old school is cool. Good ol’ fashioned “Sneakernet” (physically walking with an SD card or note).
• Scout your routes and meeting spots in advance.
• Compartmentalize: only share what the other person needs to know. Loose lips sink ships.
• Learn basic countersurveillance: vary your routines, use public transport creatively, and watch for tails.
• Don’t carry your cellphone with you on an op.
Most importantly, have fun.
The English: "Don't take any risks. You will go to prison."
The Northern Irish: "Mask up. Leave phones at home. Be prepared to fight and go to prison."
