how fucked is northern ireland these days anyway?

my parents and grandparents lived there during the troubles and it sounded like a complete shithole. My grandfather's house got burned down by protestants because there was a catholic priest (his uncle) living there, and then he got shot in the leb by the IRA as an adult because repairing government cars as a mechanic is apparently collusion.

My grandfather's Northern Irish and had a similar experience. He was friends with the son of some local government guy when he was a kid, so one night an IRA member showed up at his house and threatened retaliation against his whole family unless he cut off all contact with him. Turns out his great uncle was a fairly high ranking member of the original IRA during the war and his mum still had contacts in the IRA from that. She went off to talk to some IRA guys and the next day the guy showed up on their doorstep apologising profusely and offered to do their gardening for the whole year kek

>>75889833

Soo this means that yes, a positive vote on a referendum on both sides is enough to unify Ireland. It doesnt look so difficult, afaik people in nortern ireland are getting tired of all the brexit shenanigans from london and I saw in a documentary that the catholic population in NI is slowly becoming the majority. I'd say Ireland will be unified in the next 50 years, maybe less if the uk keeps acting like a retard in the brexit negotiations.

People seem oddly self-assured about nothing ever changing because of a few polls want to maintain the status quo. It's strange because basically everybody knows that the north is simply untenable in the long term, the only real question is how and when.

Do you think Irish people don't hear about this? The rising is well known to not have been popular at the time - to the point that it's lack of popularity is exaggerated and treated uncritically. Funnily enough, a lot of writing on the revolutionary period is filtered through a British lens.

Northern Ireland does this every year and spends most it's money on scandals and ivory coast flags along with pallets and sheds to set on fire, no I'm not joking. They are given 11 million each year by the UK and manage to give back about 9 million.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XckDlD0OM8s

We don't do what they do, the only time we do bonfires is for Halloween. Their ""culture""" kind of rules around hating catholics and being overly British with wearing black bowler hats and recently burned an effigy of a catholic child who recently died from cancer in one of their bonfires.

Sinn Fein is going to get polemic over this, the DUP will double down, and then there's going to be a series of increasingly tense protests and counter-protests across Northern Ireland this Summer where all it will take is one jumpy policeman or an overly excited wannabe IRA/UDA fucker to light the fuse.

>DUP MPs had drawn up a “wish list” at a meeting on Friday[...]The party is also pushing for the Government to block prosecutions of soldiers and police officers involved in the Troubles, as well as seeking an increase in police funding, a source said.

>Jonathan Powell, the chief negotiator on Northern Ireland under Tony Blair, said the arrangement would undermine the Government’s position as a “neutral” arbiter.

It's pretty obvious that May and the Tories just don't give a shit about Northern Ireland. They're not even considering the impact that their decisions will have because they don't really care what happens in Belfast or Derry.

>>75915055
The Troubles 2.0 won't happen regardless.

But yeah, sure, nothing's percolating here.

It wouldn't be all at once; no one's going to wake up on Monday morning to find out Gerry Adams has rebarricaded Bogside. But tensions are going to rise, hostilities will flair up, protests and counter-protests and counter-counter-protests will all take place.

There's really no good solution to what's going to happen in Northern Ireland from here. Shit's fucked one way or the other

The good news is there's a decent possibility that May's government might get voted down.

It requires Tory MPs voting against her, but she's so fucking unpopular now it might actually happen.

Best bet would likely be Scottish Tories getting cold feet over a partnership with the DUP. I doubt it will play well there, and even if they deny it, everyone has the idea of a second election at some point in the coming months in the back of their heads.
>>
>>75917409
There are a fair few 'moderate' Tories like Anna Soubry who fucking despise May, and will likely vote against her.

As >>75917500 says, Scottish Tories also have a reason to vote this down.

Her numbers are razor thin, if even like 10 of her own MPs vote against her she's done.
>>
>>75917500

>Best bet would likely be Scottish Tories getting cold feet over a partnership with the DUP

Cant see that happening, they are ideologically and spiritually identical. Politicans wont get cold feet over having some power, even if it means humoring some rabid retards.

Ruth Davidson has leadership aspirations though, I bet she's drooling at the idea of stabbing May in the back.

I'd take a very cynical view of British politics since even comrade Corbyn led Labour support brexit out of expediency. Dont see why it wont happen and will be pleasantly suprised if not, but I'm not hopeful.
