Fun Irish culture war stuff as leader of Sinn Fein, Mary Lou McDonald annoys the war on Christmas crowd.
I wonder if any of them could read the first two fucking words of her tweet.

I just want to write something about the political situation in Northern Ireland- I don’t want to speak for Irish people, but I think it’s important people who live in Britain take an interest and understand what’s going on.
Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland is meant to have devolution, with it’s own parliament. There’s a strict agreement about powersharing between the parties.
In the last 6 years, Northern Ireland has had a functioning parliament for two of them. This is largely due to the DUP blocking the formation of a cabinet that doesn’t serve their interests. The liberal ideal of “just vote” isn’t working.
One of the more recent and significant events are that in 2022, the DUP first minister resigned due to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal- a Brexit deal which very clearly disregarded the Good Friday Agreement, and Northern Ireland in general. This essentially caused the dissolution of the parliament and led to elections in May 2022.
For the first time, Sinn Fein won the most seats, meaning the first minister would be someone from the party. But the DUP were unhappy, and refused to participate in the election of a speaker, meaning the government could not function. Due to the DUP’s behaviour, just like from 2017-2020, there’s currently no NI assembly. And it seems like the DUP know if they just hold out long enough, they’ll force another election.
And presumably they’ll keep doing this until they get the result they want.
People tell us to “just vote”. Well, the people of Northern Ireland did vote, and the party in power refused to relinquish their interests. Meanwhile, catholic republican communities continue to be discriminated against in all sorts of ways- including by the police. The police, furthermore, are a symbol (and a practical force) of Britain’s colonial occupation of Northern Ireland.
Against this backdrop, what other recourse do young Irish people have but violence?

#OTD in 1918 – John Devoy claims Roger Casement to blame for the 1916 Easter Rising’s failure.
New York-based John Devoy, editor of the recently suppressed Gaelic American has claimed credit for being the key individual behind the ‘German Sinn Féiner’ efforts to launch a revolt in Ireland in 1916. The claim comes in a letter, a copy of which was published last month in the USA.
The letter, discovered on the premises of Lawrence DeLacey at the time of his arrest in California in August…

Yes, somebody actually said this to me once.
And they’re still wrong.
Seriously.
Imagine citing “divine right of kings” as an argument against a people’s self-determination and/or the reunification of their country in the 21st fucking century?!
And then expecting yourself to be taken seriously afterwards!
Absolute fucking brainrot!
Fucking hell!
You can’t say that without sounding like a villain from an early 20th century satirical novel.
Get in the bin with that shite!

From the page:
After two full years without a functioning government, Northern Ireland’s Parliament Buildings opened their doors on Saturday and lawmakers returned to work — and one of their first acts was to name Sinn Fein’s Michelle O’Neill as first minister.
O’Neill, 47, is Northern Ireland’s first nationalist leader, from a party that wants north and south to come together someday as a single country.

Got this through the door today. While I don't intend to specifically promote Sinn Féin or anything associated with them, I do think this is worth sharing and agree with the principles expressed on this specific flier.
