Curiously Simon I was thinking the same, which may go some way, when it happens, to show SF they lost the war and those they support will continue feeding off their peace.

I think the opposition to the Peace Centre at Long Kesh is symbolic of a vocal, sizable and powerful section of Unionism's intransigence and their desire not just to be separate from the 26 counties but to be separate from Nationalists and Republicans in the North.

On the Peace Centre itself, I wouldn't be surprised if the listed buildings on the site get bulldozed either legally or illegally. Even without political differences we cannot forget that the 6 counties is the place where historically important buildings and archaeological and natural sites are fair game so what chance for the Long Kesh Site?

I am sure in the future we can visit Robben Island, Alcatraz and the empty space where Long Kesh prison used to be. And chances are it'll be in a partitioned Ireland.

Sean Bres:

Mickey doesn't know what reality means, Just like the rest of the SF carpet beggars.
Lining their pockets, setting up new 1916 societies! , changing venues of Republican commemorations to suit their own aims, Yet demonise proper Republicans for having a proper and true Anti Internment march , of which most posters on TPQ know, is still in force to this very day, and SF turns a blind eye to it, Until one of their own is lifted, then the morons are bused in to protest, all expenses paid plus a free pint back at the club, whilst the high echelon of SF have secret talks with the Chief "CUNSTABLE" for the release of one of theirs. can SF get any Britisher?, No, they are being paid the the British Government, that is those in the Norn Iron, That's something they can never deny. This sticks in my mind, and makes me sick, McGuinness , "DON'T LEAVE COMRADES, WE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE REPUBLIC" , He omitted to mention you have to either get a train/bus/, or , drive to it from the wee 6c to get there,
Rule Britannia with SF.

2013-08-14T21:37:36.628+01:00

Is right Mackers, Mickey it's time you woke up to the reality that Sinn Fein now inhabits the political ground once held by the SDLP - your politics, constitutional position and analysis of the conflict in Ireland are now inseparable from that party. Thus why you now occupy the position of majority nationalist party in the six-counties. We did not convert people to republicanism - this does not explain the rise in votes. Rather it can be explained by the conversion of republicanism to constitutional, establishment politics. As Anthony has been saying for years this process involved including republicans while excluding republicanism. One thing is right about that article though - the 1998 legislation will NEVER deliver a reunified Ireland, as Larry has said the Unionists seen us coming a mile away. Things may grate with them because of their historical position of marked superiority evaporating in front of their eyes (a big thank you to the IRA for helping bring that about) but they are comfortable with the constitutional end of things. A united Ireland in 10 years? Not a chance unless something big changes and certainly not if Sinn Fein persists with their bogus plans for a border poll to deliver manna from heaven

2013-08-14T21:33:06.573+01:00

The sad fact of life is, There are as many Immigrants as Irish, Most of those Immigrants are now Irish Citizens, They might have read about the Recent war in the North, but that's about all, even if a So Called Border Poll was won, We all know the Unionists will not be sitting on their backsides awaiting for a United Ireland to Happen, They will be well armed and ready for "No Surrender", althought it would be a democratic vote by the whole nation, they would resist to the end, or , eventualy go to scotland (if it doesn't get its indipendence) , or , England.
Facts are Facts and have to be looked at and weighed up in anticipation of such a threat. We must also be armed to defend our districts, because if we aren't it will be going back in time because the RUC/PSNI will not defend any nationalists areas in such an event, neither would most of the R.I.Regiments (British Army). There are those of us who marched for civil rights , attacked by loyalists and B-specials/R.U.C. whilst The Devil himself, Paisley Sen was shouting "Kill The Fenian Bastards" at Burntollet Bridge.

This is off subject, sorry Anthony.

jnr paisley has not got a chance in hell and wee Jeffery and foster still have the whiff of the UUP about them-we destroyed the UUP the fathers of Unionism-I think the same will happen to the DUP-

2013-08-14T18:52:13.000+01:00

Not sure I agree with it all but the point of our pending unpreparedness is right on!
Larryo is right, the free-staters will do all they can to avoid any conflict since they forgot what their fathers had been fighting for (by and large). But I do get the chance to discuss the issue with many across our nation and the feeling I get, from the under 30's and the over 50's and all between, is the interest in securing re-unification is as strong as ever with a great many, usually the ordinary working people.
michaelh, could you clarify for us, just where the UDR and RUC have gone to?

MH

Thank Christ I'll not be here for your SF soft landing into a united Ireland.

The Free State will do everything it can to avoid a confrontation with loyalism. No change there since the shelving of the border commission report and the selling of yer granny for 30 bits of silver, when partition was accepted in exchange for the writing off of imperial debts.

Too busy down here getting ready to re-inflate the economy for the next instalment of boom + bust, Irish cute-hoor style, to be getting caught up in unprofitable nordy issues. It's nearly game on again, haven't you heard? The housing market has finally levelled out!

Nordy taigs at this stage have their civil rights within the UK. And you have your wee meaningless jobs. All you need now is those damn Orange bigots kept away from your private property. Job done! So forget about the border poll. Peter the Punt was under estimated by you lot MH.

Moya St Leger-

" Provided they can keep their British Passports "

Yes who ever wants to keep a british passport or hold both Passports will always have that right-there will be union jacks flying in a United Ireland in some areas years after it happens as will be their right-[not sure what the wording of the new flag laws will be yet ]-

The UDR is gone the RUC is gone/changing-the UVF-UFF-RHC have
all decommissioned-there might be a bit of bother but hopefully the main opponents to a United Ireland will be the fleg protesters-and we know how bad at protesting they are-
