not really. a certain hierarchy came with colonialism that benefitted one section of the community, who e.g. happened to be loyal to the crown, in a form of apartheid that, until very recently, existed in NI. btw the "Irish" who benefitted most in NI don't like being called Irish.

as we edge closer to Brexit day:10 years on...it brings back lots of memories. One of my favourites is Irelands Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, explaining to UK PM Boris Johnson how complicated the whole brexit thing will be over Northern Ireland. Sound On.

no worries. I think it surprised a lot of people. Mostly the DUP who pushed for a really hard brexit. Journalists in Dublin still wonder if they are working for the "other guys"

good point. when theresa mays snap election back-fired, the DUP, incredibly, held the balancs of power in the UK and kyboshed her soft brexit. The UK ended up with a DUP shaped brexit! Journalists in Dublin did wonder if the DUP were "working for the other guys"!

the irony is not lost on Europeans. The French joke that the English are pumping so much untreated poo into the channel, migrants will be able to walk over soon. brexit britain has become, quite literally, the arsehole of Europe. Hastings, England 👇

A thing of absolute beauty. Ex-Tory, Charles Tannock, who warned that brexit would be a massive mistake finds himself on GB "news" (the UKs version of Americas Fox "News") declaring all his predictions about brexit have come though The presenters' face is priceless.

british unionists in NI are hilarious. they backed brexit and incredibly held the balance of power in the UK when Theresa Mays snap election backfired. In years to come, dictionaries will have "british" as shorthand for incredibly stupid and bonkers strategy. congratulations.

reminds me of that time Zig & Zag left RTE to join Channel 4.

correct and in the same breath to suggest there wasn't a colonial hierarchy in place...like there still was in NI until recently, by design, is a gross misrepresentation. the Anglo Irish in NI are still fighting against the Irish language to this day and would not like being called "Irish".

The EU are immensely proud of it. Rightly so. It was a masterclass in diplomacy. Persuading the British it was their idea was genius. Remember the "hand of history" speech from Blair? 21 years later, Leo explains to Boris how complicated the whole brexit thing will be with NI. Sound On. 2/2

This needs to go viral

None of this should be happening right now. We need to force our elected officials to open the fucking boxes. This isn't about changing what's already happening, this is about securing the future. This is about letting them know that we know what happened. The collaborating evidence is in the boxes
