He also hinted that it smacked of Nazism- "the day after the referendum people had their windows put in". A similar claim was apparently made by Tomas Keneally (IrishAustralian writer[Schindler's Ark and Great Shame, about the Potato Famine]) at the start of Pauline Hanson's career, evidently making a claim that she was leading her country on the road to Auschwitz, which seems ridiculous in hindsight as the unintelligent woman who only barely got herself elected twice to date could never emulate Hitler if sheu did want to. Fortunately.
Those remarks you quoted Stephen are utter nonsense. The December election was in many ways the confirmation of the original referendum.With his massive majority in parliament Johnston can implement that decision. The almost complete rejection of the most vocal remainer MPs was an added bonus.
History will be made on January 31st as the UK becomes the first large state to leave the EU and regain its national sovereignty. It is sad for the EU and bad for Ireland as we lose our closest ally in the bloc. I have heard very little comment on who we will chose to ally with now. This question of course will never come up in our farcical 2020 make believe Irish general election.
It was séamus actually; one of the critics,in response to Greaves, mentioned that the Liberal Democrats are overrepresented in the House of Lords. I'd be interested in reading up on how they get appointed- seeing that the LDs originally got David Cameron over the line.
There seems to be a pro-life spark in the new Commons now with DUP Carla Lockhart mentioning her opposition to abortion in Northern Ireland. Was it possible that the party could have highlighted this more often when the eyes of the world were so often focussed on DUP during their short-lived balance of power? Goodnight Arlene.
