The British state has been a menace to the Irish people for generations and continues to be. Brexit has exposed to all but the most dim amongst us that the menace of the British state remains.

Are you on English forums explaining to people about the effects of Brexit on Northern Ireland, educating English people that loyalists are British and not Irish and convincing them to invest more in Northern Ireland? It strikes me that you're espousing all of your anger and opinions towards a country (Ireland) which A) has nothing to do with what's happening now in Northern Ireland and is much better educated about unionism in Northern Ireland than the average English person is. We have nothing to do with what's happening now so why the angst directed at us?

Why shouldn't the other 4 counties get the same treatment right now? Should we hold a referenda in Derry, Fermanagh, Armagh and Tyrone to see if they'll join a UI now?

The reality is that there is rampant deep seated sectarianism amongst large section of the Unionist population. On the Catholic side yes there has to be understandable resentment at our country being occupied by Britain. That will change I believe in the next 30 years. In terms of politics on the Unionist side Foster has failed her community and her post by not attempting to be a first minister for all the people of NI. There is a serious lack of leadership in Unionism. Their support for Brexit was misguided both in its subsequent consequences and in terms of Brexit not carrying in NI. Unionism politically keeps shooting itself in the foot. Foster by calling for the head of the PSNI to resign in a sense encourages yobs to riot. She really isn't the brightest light in the harbour.

This is very basic stuff that can be understood with a cursory look at the misery the British state has inflicted on the Irish people in recent history. You think you're safe in the south from that lot? Bless your cotton socks.

Demographics against them, unrequited love from Britain. I think its finally dawned on them that their time of dominance in the North is over and they just can't hack it. Hence the toys are out of the pram and a perpetual state of victimhood has ensued.
