Todays elections UK wide summed up

So SF and SNP have majorities in both UK and Nation elections, in other words all 4. No EU elections to measure on anymore.

So if the UK position on Northern Ireland is "er, we don't believe there's a will, honest" and on Scotland is "no more referendum no matter what", SF and SNP need to team up and demand a referendum in EITHER nation. If the answer to that is no, they will have to team up with Plaid to get Wales out. It will happen as the UK stance towards Scotland and NI will sway it.

The plan with snp is let’s just hold the referendum.
London can’t be fighting for and bragging about ‘democracy’ in Ukraine and denying it at home. Scotland just holds a snap independence referendum and takes independence back.
What’s London gonna do?
That’s what they’re up to and I’m all the way with them.

Meanwhile in Ireland. Sinn Fein can’t do the above. The good Friday agreement is there and it’s sacred despite the unionists and the British (English) trying to tear it up.

The union is over.
Only questions left are why did we ever put up with it and how do we scrape them off every other place they claim to own.

And there’s the starting gun.
Remember today.

Told ya

The Palestine flag in McDonald's avatar is quite the nice touch.

Common theme in Sinn Fein. And Ireland more generally. Common cause with Palestine.
Long shared history dealing with the same crowd.

Hopefully Ireland will end up reunited soon.

Reunited, and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey

There isn’t enough space to tell you but the British and their propaganda machine are gone into high gear and even going after the brexit protocol for NI they negotiated and agreed as well as going after the good Friday agreement.
The relentless articles have started in their media.

All of this off the back of Sinn Fein winning that election.

It’s shit about the hit the fan stuff.

Good example of what I was saying above. Tweeted minutes ago from one of the norths main unionist papers.

They have the comments turned off of course. Because this story never happened.

I imagine so.

One thing I recall being entertained reading about was how there were oddball countries that wouldn't recognize Kosovo or Palestine because of the implications it would mean for separatist movements that they didn't want to give examples to.

The Jews in Palestine weren’t exactly buddies with the British either

Dublin can no longer treat Irish unity as a distant aspiration

As with events in Israel just today. We’ve been there. Really recently

You’re not gonna believe this. But they never broadcast that episode in Britain or Ireland. Bbc banned it. For that line from Data.

Yes I’m serious.
