Whist I think some of what you say is bit OTT, I share your sense of foreboding.
There is something rotten about our system of government.

Kay, can we finally please nail this myth.
There isn’t a single line , clause or paragraph in the GFA that prevents or prohibits a customs (hard or soft) border on the island of Ireland - nothing, not a word.
Border between Northern Ireland and Ireland should be between North and South - not in the Irish Sea - says
@bernardjenkin
But how would that work with The Good Friday Agreement?

It is a FACT that the ‘69 disturbances in Belfast were kicked off by nationalists to divert RUC resources from L’derry.

It doesn’t bother me in the slightest that the GAA is a nationalist organisation. It’s for members to determine objectives, rules and constitution.
What irritates is the notion that it is inclusive and welcoming to unionists, maybe on the surface, but just scratch a little bit.

Absolutely horrific. Murdered by savages. 😥
Remember James Morgan, 16,RC, from Castlewellan, Co Down., murdered on 24/7/97.
The LVF kidnaped James in Newcastle, Co Down. He was tortured, beaten to death with a hammer & his body doused in petrol & set alight
The sectarian killing of James Morgan was 1 of the most brutal..

By every possible measure the Republican campaign has been a complete and total failure.
It has failed in every strategic and tactical objective.
In that sense they are the ally unionism could possibly hope for.
In 1968, 20% of Northern Ireland Protestants saw themselves as Irish. That could have been built on but by 2001, after years of mindless IRA violence, that had fallen to 2%. That's all the IRA "achieved" - the complete alienation of Ulster Protestants from any sense of Irishness.

For clarity, officially, there is no “County Derry” and never was.
Prior to County Londonderry it was County Coleraine
The County of

#Derry
, is a shire of Northern Ireland.
Adjoined to the north-west shore of Lough Neagh,
#CountyLondonderry
covers an area of 801 square miles, with a population of approximately 243,000.
