Spain has forced Britain to cancel the Red Arrows display over Gibraltar & one planned for Menorca. The EU & Spain can't have foreign fighter jets flying over Spanish territory without prior permission. The British still think they have an Empire & can invade EU airspace.

East Belfast Loyalists now telling us that 'modern' NI is a welcoming, diverse and progressive place to live. Is this the same sort of welcome people received when they requested a GAA pitch to play on in East Belfast only a few short weeks ago?

The next NI election will be based on keeping Catholics out of political office & have nothing to do with the protocol or principle of consent. Gerrymandering has ended, but now we have 'Jefferymandering'; a conspiracy by Loyalist zealots to prevent a Catholic from becoming FM.

Gerrymandering was introduced in Northern Ireland in 1921. It favouring Unionists who tended to be Protestant, to the detriment of Nationalists who were mostly Catholic. Such was this blatant rigged electoral system, even the British government had to abandon it in 1972.

If King Charles III instructed Loyalist paramilitaries to disarm, disband, and desist from their activities do you think they would obey their King? King Charles III is known for making political statements so can someone ask him to instruct his subjects to embrace democracy?

@BrattyBritG You know that is not true. You know MON has been in touch. Why peddle hate when we are trying to heal. It's people like you who are part of the problem when it comes to peace & reconciliation. Shame on you for trying to sow more division!

When has NI Unionism ever tried to embrace anything Irish? The Irish language? Gaelic sports? Irish music? Stout or whiskey made in Southern Ireland. Open/available to all but treated with contempt by those who see nothing of any value with these basic things.

European Commission has approved Ireland’s new €1.3bn afforestation programme 2023-27. Good news for Ireland which should also include a tree replanting 'bailout' for the 6 counties which seems fair enough as they could be full EU members soon. The replanting of Ulster begins.

Well, well, well. So the DUP speaks for 16.9% of the people in NI & we all have to suffer a dysfunctional political system for a small minority would probably always say no to any sort of change! Why are we allowing this to happen?

The rise of SF across this island is no fluke, it's a trend that is set to continue into the next decade. As such the EU, the US, yes & even the UK are making ready for a UI in the EU. The influence of NI Unionism is no longer what it once was. It failed to adapt & change.

GFA negotiators could not have foreseen Brexit or the contradictory politics of the DUP, nor the hard/soft split in the Tories. Yet Republicans gave so much to ensure an end to armed conflict while the DUP ignored the gains & went away seeking grubby deals with their Tory mates.

THIS MAKES SENSE One Ireland; One people; One Health Care System; One Economy; One Transport System; One Government; One Educational System; One Currency. Cultural diversity, lasting peace, efficiencies, social inclusion & a better quality of life for all. PARTITION DOESN'T

Why is it OK for people in NI to pursue their chosen aspiration of maintaining the Union with Britain, but when CNR say they would like to discuss a shared island this is deemed evil because DUP says it's a front for a non-existence organisation that disbanded over 25 yrs ago?

The Dublin Loyalist funeral (the 2nd of its kind) attended by 8 people is nothing more that an ill thought out stunt. Held at first light, factually incorrect, & poorly attended, it was more reflective of the demise of Loyalism than anything affecting either the Protocol or GFA

There is something very wrong with NI society when a minority of groups can force people to stay indoors or vacate NI over the 12th of July. If the OO can't see this then they are either lost or disingenuous. These marches are not respectful/inclusive, they are triumphalist.

What is the common denominator between Ireland, India & Palestine? Not the IRA, Indian militants, or Hamas. It's the imposition of British military rule, a land grab & partition! If Russia is wrong to invade Ukraine, the British should be held accountable for their actions.

So the Irish Language Bill has now become law in NI & as expected NI did not fall into the sea! People can & will go about their business. This is what will happen in a UI, the world will not end & people will go about their usual things. The big change will be us back in EU.

Well done to the EU for signing a deal with the Malvinas. Malvinas is now the official name throughout the world for what was formally the Falklands. When posting from Europe to that part of the world ensure you address it to the Malvinas or it will be returned to sender.
