    Special Branch and MI 6 knew virtually everyone who was involved at just about any level in the IRA. They had their own reasons for NOT arresting them at the time. As for touts ( informers ) there were so many of them it's a miracle they didn't start shopping each other.m

    Three firsts in three years. (1) a nationalist becoming first minister (2) census results showing that Catholics are now in the majority with the Protestant population heavily skewed towards the older age categories. (3) Nationalists taking the most seats in council elections, a feat last seen in the 1970s by a unionists party. We now have talk of a 'super majority' to try to delay reunification... the Good Friday Agreement is explicit that a simple majority is all that's needed. The North used to be the powerhouse of Ireland, now its the poorest part of Ireland and the poorest region of the UK. The North of Ireland has division sewn into its political structures meaning true reconciliation will not occur until after reunification. Irish reunification does not belong to any political party. It never has. It's the people of this island who own it, a citizens assembly should be convened to flesh out the details of what a United Ireland could look like.

    Where have all the professional journalists gone, historically politicians would have been interrogated in depth about their politics and the facts surrounding their pronouncements, but not now, it’s lazy journalism, all about creating a headline. There are extremes in all countries and journalists will inevitably find them, but this constant focus by the media is perpetuating pure propaganda, of this fantasy United Ireland, harms the Northern Irish economy and citizens, and so should stop. The facts are, that statistically only an average 24% of Northern Irish citizens, have even self-identify as nationalist over the last three decades. In practice, even with the violence, propaganda and gas-lighting, even fewer than that would be willing to actually vote for unification, as the negative financial impact on their quality of life and demographic future would be massive. As you can see from the statistics, which are easily checked, the Northern Irish communities are not taken in by this nonsense. They are neighbours they see the reality, the propaganda is primarily directed at the international community, ex pats, the young and gullible, to put pressure on the British government to bypass the Northern Irish democratic system and impose structures not democratically supported in Northern Ireland, purely for sectarian reasons and motivations. The remaining 77% of Northern Irish include, non-aligned, DUP, TUV, Alliance Unionists and NICA and have all consistently resisted the many, sometimes extreme pressures applied historically, determined to stay independent from the Republic of Ireland as they simply don’t like what they see, have seen or what would be waiting for them. The Northern Irish have a socialist bias in their health and economic infrastructure, diametrically opposite to the Republic of Ireland’s American style, hustle, tax haven, leprechaun economics, with a massive wealth gap and main export being its citizens. Already imposing a horrific demographic, infrastructure, social, tax, cost of living and investment impact on Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal, the three Ulster counties that the Republic of Ireland managed to extract from Britain and have subsequently driven their Ulster working and middle class population out, very often to Northern Ireland to survive, not very inviting. Those facts don't sell newspapers or get views but omitting them creates an illusionary environment, fantasy world that could not only cost lives but create misery for thousands and could even eventually force them out of their homes, just like Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal. Think this is exaggerating, delusionary, the facts are easily checked, but people are to lazy, you will be surprised if you take the trouble. Secular independence not unification is by far the more democratic, historically accurate and prosperous way forward if exiting the UK, with by far the most potential for the Northern Irish, opening up opportunities for the Northern Irish such as joining the EU as an independent country and getting the benefits of its close proximity to the UK, very unusually, actually getting the significant benefits of joining the EU as an independent country but also at a cut down subscription, and the most historically appropriate. All this without removing or even reducing the democratic viability of any longer term future aspirations that the Northern Irish citizen might have. Coincidentally, also giving an independent Northern Irish government far greater bargaining power to safeguard its citizens in any future negotiations they might decide to take part in, as an independent country. Go on, be a devil leave this post up, don't block it, open up the conversation, open up your mind.

NI is in the best possible position in the Globe. Full EU access and the same for GB. There is not one other country on the planet that enjoys that unique position. They should be making massive economic leaps forward. They should be making a fortune.
