|
By:
No,all are happy with peace,it is the unionists who are trying to do away with the GFA.
The truth hurts |
|
By:
And on top of that they don't care what they do to their youth either.
|

By:

|
|
By:
Yes yes lapsy we know as long as you and nationalists
are not actually having to fulfill their responsibilities and it is others who have to go give concessions then all is sweetness and light That is not a very attractive characteristic |
|
By:
You are not acknowledging the unionists are trying to dispense with the GFA,why not?
Because everything you are spouting won't stand to the slightest scrutiny? True dat! |
|
By:
And how would stopping checks on goods between GB&NI dispense with the GFA ?
|
|
By:
Nothing to do with goods or checks, It is the GFA that is the problem for the unionists,ie that peace process.
|
|
By:
Just a minute , it was unionists and only unionists
who made concessions for the GFA .. to try and bring about peace Nationalists and republicans didn’t make any concessions And they still are not |
|
By:
So I don’t want you pontificating about the GFA
|
|
By:
More rubbish,why can't you accept truth? why are you putting misinformation here?

Northern Ireland economy outpacing post-Brexit Britain
Analysis finds unusual gains for Northern Ireland, the only UK region still able to trade goods barrier-free with the EU. Northern Ireland’s economy is growing faster than Britain's, according to new regional analysis. The Office of National Statistics found that Northern Ireland’s gross domestic product grew 1.4 percent in the July-September quarter of 2021, compared with gains of 0.9 percent and 0.6 percent in Scotland and England, respectively. Economic activity in Wales shrank 0.3 percent over the same quarter. London’s globally connected economy masked a wider English malaise. While the capital recorded 2.3 percent growth, only two of England’s eight other regions eked out any gains. The northeast, including Newcastle and Sunderland, fared worst, with a 1.2 percent slump. The analysis — based chiefly on the quarterly VAT returns on sales of goods and services at 1.9 million firms — offered no judgment on why the economy of Northern Ireland, normally a laggard, is outpacing other parts of the U.K. this year. Another recent U.K. economic analysis explicitly credited Northern Ireland’s continued access to barrier-free trade with the 27-nation EU as a key driver. That picture is reinforced by monthly reports from Ireland’s Central Statistics Office, which has documented a string of record-high trade figures between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland since the January 2021 launch of post-Brexit trade rules. Those rules include a U.K.-EU trade protocol that keeps Northern Ireland within the EU single market for goods. While the region’s unionist leaders oppose the protocol because it requires EU customs and sanitary controls on British goods arriving in Northern Ireland, this arrangement also allows Northern Irish firms to avoid this red tape when trading with their Irish neighbors and the wider 27-nation EU. I just thought I would add some facts to this thread |

Ah the the DUP did sign up and it was unionists and only unionists
who made concessions to bring about peace Nationalists and republicans never made any And they still won’t So I don’t want to hear you preach about the GFA |
|
By:
More lies and misinformation yet again from you Lfc,why are you doing this?
The DUP opposed the GFA .It was the only party that did. |
|
By:
Peace was backed by 71% in NI and 94% in the republic in that referendum, the dup were against it, that is fact and you are trying to mislead,why?
|
|
By:
And the protocol came into effect in Jan 21 .. sub and the NI economy
Has underperformed the rest of the U.K. .facf . Ive already given the numbers .. |
|
By:
Don't run away lfc, why are you supporting drug barons taking advantage of dead end youth,loansharking,active terrorist groups and a political party against peace?
You are backing them to the hilt,even going so far as spreading lies and misinformation. Is a union worth that much to you to row in with that? |
|
By:
Pa, the British government are clearly trying to open old wounds.
Today has proven that in conjunction with some other recent events. They don't want to talk about the cost of brexit, they certainly don't want Joe Biden having a 25th anniversary celebration down the Shankhill rd. It's obfuscation on their part, they are looking for a gilly. History teaches us never to take them at face value. |
|
By:
Lapsy of course the GFA was backed by the south and nationalists and republicans
They were not having to make any concessions - they never do , that doesn’t impress me much It was unionists who made the concessions to try and bring about peace And true to form nationalists and south ireland are still not making any changes concessions Now that is the fact of the matter .. no preaching until that mindset changes |
|
By:
Hola PD,good Luck in Spain, you could well be right!
|
|
By:
Oh and pecker if Irish joe does come
Make sure to tell him that it was the unionists . , not nationalists who made the concessions and brought about peace with the GFA |
|
By:
It was backed by everyone except the dup,you said otherwise throughout the thread lfc,why?
|
|
By:
Oh and if he does venture onto the Shankill Rd
Tell him to make sure he says thankyou to the unionist people |
|
By:
Lfc, the home nation doesn't have to concede anything to the invaders if it so chooses.
If you want to fook with the Irish expect to get fooked back. He are stirring up shittt now for political gain at home and he can go fook right off. |
|
By:
Thanks Pa, don't know I can stay for good(medical team) but I can stay for months at a time.
|
|
By:
Lapsy we can go over all that again but we’ve done that
The DUP signed up to the GFA at St. Andrews Now I really don’t want you to be asking unionists Ask what nationalists can do , because their track record on doing anything , including recently .. is very poor if not non existent |
|
By:
Yeah,fook right off lfc and take your lies and cap doffers and half wits with ya
|
|
By:
There we go , as soon as someone points out
the fact that the likes of lapsy did nothing to bring about peace and the GFA . then the anger starts . . you see it’s easy if you expect everything . And do nothing |
|
By:
