Guest makapaka Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Need to be careful with all this. the media are panicking about a lack of bad Covid news and need something else to feed on. it would be interesting to see some proper journalism on what is happening in Northern Ireland - whether it’s a small minority or a genuine political change. I’m worried it will get hyped up in the wrong direction to fill the void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it cannot be explained why or how a hard Brexit has been catastrophic (a failure or disaster) then I don't need to put forward any explanation about it being a success.

I think it was the former and for many just an ego trip to get Brexit passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote “We have repeatedly urged HM Government, political leaders and Institutions to take seriously our warnings of the dangerous consequences of imposing this hard border on us and the need for earnest dialogue to resolve matters. We reiterate that message now,” the Loyalist Communities Council said. "To date there has been a spectacular collective failure to understand properly the scale and nature of Unionist and Loyalist anger. Indeed there is a complete failure to understand Loyalists as people and equal citizens. A new Protocol must be negotiated... this means no hard border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, and no hard border on this island. https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast-news/belfast-riots-loyalist-communities-council-20351387 Edited April 10, 2021 by Delbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the hardcore Brexit at any cost brigade were more likely be to in the say anything to get people to vote for Brexit group. Look at the Farage's Nazi propaganda inspired queue of migrants photo and the official leave campaign's Turkey's about to join the EU and 80 million people will want to move to the UK leaflet.
