Ireland 2050

@Tipler1983 Did you ever consider that the complexities of Middle Eastern politics might be way above your intelligence level and that you should keep out of it? Be a good boy and stick to the crayons. 🖍️

2 different views together on the timeline. As history has often taught us, terrorists who call themselves “freedom fighters” and “rebels” always end up fucked in the end. Only a matter of time.

@emilyhewertson Funny then that the Irish passport is ranked higher than the British one in the 2024 league table of visa-free travel. 🤔

Name a better upgrade 😮‍💨

@Carson1912_ Q. How many of the Covenant signers were prepared to starve themselves to death for that cause? A. Zero.

Oh Dear................ ..........

@Carrick_Girl Happy Ulster Day to the one third of people who are vaguely interested in the two thirds of Ulster.

HAPPY ULSTER DAY 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@_quincey People long dead once signed a petition. Tell me more, I'm fascinated. 🥱

All eight of my Great Grandparents signed the Ulster Covenant/ Declaration. Pictured are three. They signed in the Parliamentary constituency's of South Armagh (Robert Dougan), South Monaghan (John Barber) and Mid-Armagh (William Acheson)

@theirishobserve FACT??? Please produce any evidence or bring forward any now-adult who would back up your spurious claims. I could equally claim that you are a peadophile because I once heard someone said you were. 🙄

Martin McGuinness was a Pedophile recruited by MI6 in 1986, MI6 Officers told me in London in 1999 that they owned McGuinness as they had covertly recorded him sexually assaulting a female child....FACT

@_quincey Wow! People long dead signed a petition. 🙄

#OnThisDay 28th September 1912, the Ulster Covenant in signed. In Edinburgh it was signed in Greyfriars Churchyard on a flat tombstone that had been utilised to sign a covenant against impositions of King Charles I in 1638!

@JamieBrysonCPNI Why are Unionists still churning on about this 'petition' over 100 years later? It is as relevant to today as gas lanterns and pony carts and anyone who signed it is long dead. MOVE ON!

“…pledge ourselves in solemn Covenant, throughout this our time of threatened calamity, to stand by one another in defending, for ourselves and our children, our cherished position of equal citizenship in the United Kingdom, and in using all means which may be found necessary…”

@FSchomberg92906 Your own graphic shows that only 32% see themselves as British. 🤔 The rest would rather look to a better future without living with the bigotry and hatred in a declining and forgotten granny flat of The UK for much longer.

I have news for Sinn Fein & Leo Varadkar; only 29% in NI see themselves as Irish, & the rest don’t want to pay twice the price for housing/rent/food/Cars/healthcare in your unvetted migrant cesspit! Who’s going to subsidise employer’s to pay the wage needed in a United Ireland??

@_quincey If The British Army had actually stood up to their treacherous behaviour I can image that number would instantly decreased to single figures. Playing toy soldiers is easy. Putting your life on the line is a completely different matter.

#OnThisDay 27 Sep 1913, 12,000 Ulster Volunteers parade at the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society's show grounds at Balmoral (Belfast) in protest at the Home Rule Bill; "So long as you are behind us there can be no question of surrender"

@JamieBrysonCPNI "Loyalists are treated like second class citizens" 🙄 You do realise that Catholics were treated as second class citizens for decades because Unionists/Loyalists designed 'their' statelet for exactly that purpose?

Loyalists are treated like second class citizens, held to a different standard than republicans. It is unacceptable and the exclusion must end. The LCC focusing on education and diverting disadvantaged young people away from crime/paramilitarism is to be lauded not condemned.

@ArleneFosterUK Sinn Féin do NOT own Irish unification. It would actually help the case for unity if Sinn Féin left the project to others so they no longer hand Unionists a bloody stick with which to beat Nationalism.

Quite. Leo Varadkar has found his ‘inner Shinner’ with Irish unity comments, says Mary Lou McDonald | BelfastTelegraph.co.uk belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…

@KJH19322252 Unionists are given a love letter by The Tories called 'Safeguarding The Union', but if an Irish politician even mentions Irish unification, Unionists are appalled. 🙄

Leo Varadkar advocates intensifying the siege on northern unionists: irishtimes.com/politics/2024/…

@JamieBrysonCPNI Your only problem is with the word 'Irish'. If it was a French Language School you wouldn't raise an eyebrow. Basically, bigoted Loyalists like you hate everything Irish far more than they love anything British.

If Michael from ‘Derry’ wants an Irish language school so badly, he should build one in Londonderry.

@ExBusinessman @Red____Rex @mooreholmes24 Oops Currently it's like a salesman from a new washing powder brand trying to get you to switch from the brand you use. Their brand may well be better but they have done zero testing to prove it. I'm actually amazed that even 28% would switch brands under those circumstances.

Ignore the pot stirring. Sinn Féin’s fake it to make it agenda isn’t working. Nationalism hasn’t grown percentage vote in 30 years. There is no evidence, “none whatsoever” to suggest the conditions for a border poll have been met. It’s all foot stomping.

@ExBusinessman @Red____Rex @mooreholmes24 My original comment was about not simply going by pollsters asking "Would you vote for a United Ireland tomorrow?" I wouldn't vote for it tomorrow but that does make me a Unionist. Planning needs to start, facts established and the positives of unity outlined before any real poll

@2050Ireland @Red____Rex @mooreholmes24 "Surely you would need a lot more support than that to remain in the UK?" 1-No, the status quo remains until there is a border poll won and to get a border poll U need to show enough support to win one. 2-50% support the union in polls, exactly double the number who vote unionist

@ExBusinessman @Red____Rex @mooreholmes24 Your comment assumes that everyone who doesn't vote in elections is a Unionist. I could just as easily say: In real money that means 353 thousand of the 1.475 million adults voted Unionist. It's >24%. Surely you would need a lot more support than that to remain in the UK?

@2050Ireland @Red____Rex @mooreholmes24 "40% - Nationalist parties." In real money that means 353 thousand of the 1.475 million adults voted Nationalist. It's >24% The other 1.1 million+ didn't. Surely you would need a lot more support than that to get a Border Poll?

@Red____Rex @mooreholmes24 Elections in Northern Ireland generally show: 40% - Nationalist parties. 40% - Unionists parties. 20% - Undeclared parties. Currently, it isn't clear whether a majority would vote for unity or even to remain in The UK.

@2050Ireland @mooreholmes24 The only poll that matters is the voting poll after an election. As if the Daily Mail or yougov could be the trigger.
