Back in 1998, the Tony Blair Labour Government backed by Bill Clinton in the USA and the EU, foisted the “Good Friday Agreement” on the people of Northern Ireland. I was amongst those who actively campaigned against it as I believed it rewarded terrorists, inverted democracy and set the seeds for the gradual removal of Northern Ireland from the UK! I even wrote a book about it .. here!
However, with the US/UK/EU cabal all pushing for it with the assistance of the bought and paid for mainstream media, it easily passed and people voted for it. My side lost but time would prove us right. Now let’s fast forward to last evening when a vote took place in the Stormont Assembly.
On the first occasion that Stormont has got to vote on the NI Protocol’s Irish Sea border provisions, as expected, 100% of nationalist (SF & SDLP) & 100% of ‘other’ (Alliance & PBP) MLAs vote for the sea border – and 100% of unionists (DUP, UUP, TUV & independent) voted against.
For the past 50 years, every vote of substance that has happened in Northern Ireland has been on a cross community basis meaning that there must be a MAJORITY of Unionists and a MAJORITY of Nationalists voting to allow to pass. But not last night. ALL Unionists voted against it but it still passed because there were greater number on the other side. This simply exceptionalism shows that the entire “political process” is a stitch up from start to finish, rules can be invented from thin air.
The reason that the rules were twisted by the new Labour Government was to ensure that the EU compliant “Irish Sea Border” stayed in place, regardless of how insulting this is to the British people living in Northern Ireland and how damaging it is to importers. In essence this was a pro EU British Government and a majority of pro EU MLA’s all uniting to ensure that NI stays in the Single Market, subject to the ECJ and kept apart from Great Britain. The EU is always opposed to legitimate democracy, that’s why the Left likes it so much.
