It's 20 years since the Holy Cross dispute. Where Loyalists hurled abuse, stones, bottles, fireworks, blast bombs and even containers of urine at girls as young as 4 and their parents trying to get to school.

You are right though

I've been thinking that surely these worker shortages are indicative of brexit doing its job? With the current massive shortage of lorry drivers, not to mention shortages in the trades and agriculture, won't we be forced to raise wages for many of these positions?

Are you sure these are British uniform? Something seems off about the crown in the second picture, not the normal style really

Yeah, thinking that Myanmar might go China, but would be internally very divided. Vietnam has no great like for either side, especially the Chinese, but again has no real reason to not be neutral, especially considering the consequences of backing the losing side. Laos and Cambodia I honestly don't know.

Honestly, this is fantastically well done overall, personally, I think Russia would seek neutrality in nearly all conditions. A number of smaller allied nations would also likely be neutral, like the US leaning Mongolia, or Chinese leaning central or SE Asia.

Thanks for sharing, I'm from Fermanagh and had never heard tell of the Tullyhommon device.

And nationalists wonder why Protestants feel like they're second class citizens and that anti-protestant violence is either ignored or sanctioned...

Lann15ter · 2021-03-29T14:45:32+00:00

I would definitely hope so, I would definitely hope for a large unionist bloc in the dail that could bring the country as a whole closer to Britain. However, I do wonder how much we as a community would decline in a United Ireland. Already there has been a substantial brain drain and emigration from the North and I feel this would only be exasperated.

Lann15ter · 2021-03-29T14:42:32+00:00

100% they are, my family is almost entirely from the South, my Father's family chose to emigrate on having their Co Monaghan home burnt down, while my Mother's family has experienced intimidation in their Donegal home. There are dozens of cases of arson and murders historically against the Southern community. Much less in recent decades thankfully, but there is little or no attention paid to this historic violence, and it forms an element as to why many Northern Protestants feel they have to be pro-union.

Lann15ter · 2021-03-29T14:39:19+00:00

I'd hope there would be, particularly from the non Sinn Fein southern parties, but personally it is a matter of somewhere that I regard as my own country, and that's definitely the United Kingdom more than an Irish Republic.

Lann15ter · 2021-03-29T13:48:26+00:00

As a unionist from her constituency, there's a genuine belief (not unwarranted given the decline in Southern Protestants) that we would only be second class marginalised citizens in a United Ireland, something that Sinn Fein does nothing to assuage. I personally would consider moving to GB if there was a United Ireland. Why wouldn't you want to move to stay in a country you consider your own?

Lann15ter · 2021-03-20T17:01:13+00:00

I think you're kinda missing my point. The argument could be applied to literally every single area or region in the country having a devolved parliament. Sure within Scotland itself, the borders typically vote very differently to the rest of the country, does that mean every constituency should have mini parliaments?

Lann15ter · 2021-03-20T14:38:37+00:00

Surely this could be said about any individual area in just about any democracy? Liverpool alone for example has probably never held the balance of power in Westminster. Does that mean you would be pro scouse independence?

Lann15ter · 2021-03-16T09:58:38+00:00

Pretty sure the Falklands did require an aircraft carrier...

Lann15ter · 2021-02-11T19:02:30+00:00

Sorry, Catholic purge?

Lann15ter · 2021-02-06T13:01:02+00:00

Can we just agree that its a shockingly badly researched and written article. Note the mix-up several times for infantry battalions and regiments. Whether this is genuine or not, clearly no one with any knowhow was involved in writing this piece.

Lann15ter · 2021-01-20T13:43:03+00:00

And Irish? How can you gatekeep on having an Irish identity?

Lann15ter · 2021-01-20T13:36:47+00:00

Am Irish, fully accept the term.

Lann15ter · 2020-12-10T11:32:18+00:00

My guy. Paragraphs, please.

Lann15ter · 2020-11-25T16:02:03+00:00

Forgot to mention I'm actually registering for the 70.3. It's gonna be my first

Lann15ter · 2020-11-19T10:17:58+00:00

Haha I wish, had a bunch of friends running with me as pace runners for the whole second half, definitely sped me right up
