It was an almost impossible to imagine day when we all agreed to the GFA many years ago. I think we’ve moved on since then, just a bit, some of us anyway.
The DUP, as usual, haven’t moved a step. They are still trying to basically ditch that agreement, the one that was voted upon and agreed by all of us in Ireland. Back then they tried to stop it, ditch it and destroy it.
They still are.
The attempts to impose a veto by them are entirely consistent with their views 22 years ago, indeed they’re consistent with their views 322 years ago. That is unfortunate. It is instructive to observe how things have changed since then.
Unionism is no longer a majority position in the north east of Ireland. If intelligence was applied they would engage and discuss with the rest of us how we could advance our future years. The truth is they haven’t a clue how to do do that yet.
Personally, I’m happy to discuss our future with anyone, I hope they would be too.
The awful Brexit debacle in England is exposed to us all now, The North East of Ireland has a unique and exceptional opportunity to escape that, the fact that anyone doubts that is a jaw dropper.
Perhaps we need to consider now the logical, intelligent answer to it all.
Reunification.
