@richardtgarland There is no hope for Northern Ireland, more evidence this weekend that it will never move forward. I pity those that have to live there - all young people should get out and see how much better the world is when you are free of tribalism.
@DrWHKitchen The test for a truly inclusive society is whether the law is necessary. No other society would consider this reasonable and even children would understand why it would have been better not to proceed.
@WrecklessGamer This was the strategy though, create the division, stir up tensions, bring back the tribalism. The worst have got what they wanted and the people of Northern Ireland suffer. Awful country.
@timcairns That was clearly the plan all along. Should mean plenty of suffering for all the people of Northern Ireland - equal lack of opportunity for all.
@Sir__Walsingham Would you prefer a return to the old division? No respect on either side, bitter tribalism, no shared future? Just more of the same in the worst country in the world
@AlanStout19 I think you should advise them to get out and see how much better the world away from NI. Only problem is when they do, they will never return
@UlstersConcern Isn’t it all blatant sectarianism? Isnt that what the OO stands for? Isn’t that what defines the country? A small narrow minded place with awful people stuck in the past
@hwilliamssomers@ClarkeMicah@Supanovawhatevs Of course there are, and this could be one but more likely it’s not, the burden of proof is high and miscarriages of justice are rare. Conspiracy theories & populist agitating should be given less credence.
@timonther6@SeanMcCDerry It does seem to me that there is almost an excitement on both sides about the hatred & intolerance being reignited. Very few sensible voices, it’s very depressing to be honest, once again destroying hope for a new generation
@JoshLowry13 Such nonsense - backward country with the worst people, can never move forward when this kind of immature bigotry is given such prominence
@Richard_Ardvark Would the triumphalism & hatred of the OO be accepted in any other context? Without sectarianism would it even exist today? Is it not a little embarrassing?
