Northern Ireland 2125?

Other parties stood for election but they did not get the number of votes to form a government. Poor protestants had the same vote as poor catholics. NI catholics were not MOPEs. A violent reaction was not necessary. The civil rights marches were hijacked by those who wanted a U.I. : the Republicans in the failed IRA border campaign 1956-1962 , which claimed more than a few lives, did not engage in violence for civil rights but for their ideal of U.I.

So the B-Specials and RUC just picked out and beat those who 'wanted a UI' on the marches? The British Army picked out the UIers in Derry and shot them dead?

Removing British rule which was shoring up the bigoted government was seen as the way to get civil rights.
When the British eventually removed the Unionist Veto then and only then could the genie be put back in the box.

According to the man at the head of those 'civil rights' marches, that veto was 'at the heart of the problem' in NI

The fundamental change that has taken place as a result of the Anglo-Irish Agreement is a change that is deeply and fully understood by every Unionist.

What it means is that their exclusive hold on power has gone and is not coming back.

The power of veto on British policy which they have always had, and which goes to the heart of our problem here, has gone and is not coming back.

The loss is uncomfortable for their leaders, for while they held that privileged position they never had to be politicians or exercise the art of politics, which is the art of representing one’s own view while treating others with fairness.

If you never supported the IRA, why do you not condemn their atrocities, like Bloody Friday, Enniskillen, Le Mons etc?

Sorry, I forgot like Gerry Adams you do not condemn things. Unless they are British or Unionist of course.

I think during the 1956 to 62 border campaign it was the IRA who rose up and done the killing, not the other way around.

That's nonsense.

If we are to believe man originated in Africa, who was the first man from Africa invading another man's homeland if there was no other man?

People naturally migrated. It's not always about invasion by armed force to subjugate other people.

So you think the croppy should just have lied down - again?

You are a very confused person.

1/ Where did I write otherwise? Would you like me to write that - that way you wouldn't be posting nonsense all the time?

2/ What pre-Celtic tribes?

3/ Who told you whoever was pre-Celtic were ethnically cleansed?

4/ "They" are not my beloved Gaels - I am a Gael.

Did you just invent that as a symbol to give yourself an argument to cling to?

Do I need to quote Hume again here as to what 'the heart of the problem was'?
The Unionist Veto was the issue and the Anglo Irish Agreement officially removed it, which was, in hindsight the beginning of the end of IRA violence.
Unionists still cling to that veto, want it back and try to invoke it from time to time. The 'satellite to the motherland' chat comes from the same entitlement/suprematist culture - if we can't get our way blah blah blah.

Republicans who signed up to accepting the will of the majority in the GFA and have abided by that.
