“Seo í Athghabháil na hÉireann, an Réabhlóid, réabhlóid intinne agus réabhlóid anama, réabhlóid i gcúrsaí maoine, seilbhe agus mai- reachtála… Sé dualgas lucht na Gaeilge a bheith ina sóisialaigh.”- Máirtín Ó Cadhain

The real reason for The DUP's protest; Knowing that they'll never be able to defeat a pro-protocol majority in the Assembly. Under the terms of Article 18, the N.I. Assembly has the power (after 31st Dec 24) to decide whether to terminate or continue the protocol arrangements.

Important Statement issued this evening by the Irish Republican Socialist Movement “We are calling on Loyalism to tone down their language and to understand the language they use can have wide ranging consequences. We all have a duty to uphold peace in Ireland.”

Very little concern or mention from the British press and tabloids regarding the political stalemate in Britian's six-county mirco-state - it's almost like they don't care. Unionism; blind, arrogant and ignorant but a cog in its colonial system - overstating its importance again!

The one seat wonder dreaming of a return to a "protestant state for a protestant people" but the ground is moving from under unionism and neither Jim nor Jeffrey can stop it.

Kieran Kieron Ellis There are 180,000 empty homes in Ireland. There are more than enough to house everyone in this country, Irish and non-Irish. The state is trying to divide people in the interests of landlords and vultures, we reject this completely.

Could loyalists really sustain a concerted armed campaign against the protocol? They couldn't sustain social agitation surrounding a flag on Belfast CH. Too many factions with competing egos and narrow self-interests. They are what Marx & Engels coined the 'Lumpenproletariat'.

Interesting fact: In the local elections for Dublin Corporation in 1902, James Connolly, standing for Wood Quay ward, was the only candidate to distribute his election leaflets in the area in Yiddish.

I had an epiphany pertaining to Sammy Wilson's Cilmate Change scepticism. Sure isn't Kilroot Power Staton situated in his constituency. Ahhhh It all becomes clear.

I wouldn’t expect a Basque to support the Guardia Civil; an Aboriginal Australian, the Australian Federal/State Police; a Palestinian, the Israeli occupation etc. Yet in Camlough they're signing a petition for Peelers. British colonialism now exercises a soft-power approach here!
