I HATE the right wing

[Soph0571]

I hate the right wing because I am a child of Belfast in the troubles. Soldiers on streets. Spotty youths at checkpoints trying to chat you up. Boyfriends shot, a childhood not born of innocence. A hard fought peace process when Ulster stopped saying no and started saying maybe. A chance at peace. The good Friday agreement is now under attack. The agreement that brought some measure of stability to my troubled land is now the subject of suspect from the right. You see Brexit to them is far more important than peace and stability in the land from which I come. Apparently, the GFA was never sustainable in the forever lands of right wing fuckery. The right wing has stolen the narrative. Brexit good whatever the cost. I remember my father once saying to me 'I will walk the streets with an Uzi in my hand before I allow an all Ireland'. My father is dead, but the wingers are very careless if they think that on both sides this is not bubbling below the surface.

Hard boarder between North and South will lead to war. They do not care. The wankers who voted for Brexit did not give it one thought. I grew up a child of the troubles. I may die as one.

PS - Your right are fuckers too

1. What is an all Ireland?

So he wanted to remain part of the UK?

How does Brexit affect that - it takes N. Ireland out of the EU, but does that harm the relationship with Ireland (which would remain in the EU, I would suppose).

2. My Dad wanted to be part of the UK

At the moment there is no border, between the North and South because of free movement. When Brexit happens that changes. My issue is with how they are dealing with it. The right wing are happy for a hard border because they truly do not give shit. White, male, pale and privileged fuckers choose to ignore the nasty in their nation, because Brexit.

All Ireland means NI becomes part of the South.

4. OK, the border is open due to both countries being in the EU and Brexit

would change that.

My grandfather was on the other side He was 3rd generation in the US but still would talk about it. Once a car pool mate wore and orange sweater on St. Patrick's day to needle him.
