@murchadhfinn@KNEECAPCEOL Wasn’t the issue with Kneecap their support for a terrorist organisation and their call to murder MP’s rather than their support for Palestinians? Censorship does not involve showing an act, even if it is delayed. Do the BBC broadcast all acts live?
@gerrymac6511@bbreathnach@HappyUlster Bit of a generalisation Gerry. Unionism doesn’t have to be Orange or Loyalist. Admittedly a lot of people don’t understand the difference.
The counter argument is that nationalism excluded itself when NI was established.
btw I have no interest in the 12th, or the 11th night.
@CharlieCurrie12 Who are ‘they’ Charlie? GAA games are played throughout Northern Ireland. Irish is increasingly spoken and Irish language schools are prospering. Loads of tricolours on display, even though they mark territory in the same way loyalist flags do. 1/2
@gerrymac6511@HappyUlster In the 2021 census 47.5% registered as British (or British + another) and as NI is a part of the U.K. most of those they describing theirselves as NI accept they are in fact a part of the British state. 31.2% registered as Irish (or Irish + another). Only were 1.76% Irish & NI
@gerrymac6511@HappyUlster Don’t make the mistake of assuming catholic = nationalist. I wouldn’t put too much store by Lord Ashcroft’s poll, 5% of Unionists’ want a UI - I don’t think so - and recent polls also suggest younger catholics are less likely to vote nationalist than middle aged ones.
@DavidIckenua@BuyDand@438seanquinn@IrishUnity Many of us weren’t able to vote in the ‘73 border poll and many that could have didn’t. Of course the voting in the next one will be closer but it will be a long time before the result is any different.
@AodhMorONeill Yet another misleading post promoting a UI with falsehoods.
The A5 needs to be improved, that is not a unionist/nationalist issue. The legislation delaying the upgrade was necessary but it was objected to by? DUP & TUV. How can they be held responsible for the delay?
@cjhumanrights@rtenews Presumably the 30 million or so Americans with Irish ancestry or even the 6 million Brits of Irish decent will then be able to elect the Irish President and have more say than those living in the republic?
