Brexit Used As An Argument Against A United Ireland?

What is the best way to stop a United Ireland if you are a Unionist? Well, it seems to be to talk about how wonderful Post Brexit UK is. This apparently is the message from the News Letter's Ben Lowry. Unionists don't need to discuss a United Ireland, nationalists need to debate the Union.

I used to be the advertising sales manager for the Sunday Express and I was approached by a media headhunter to see if I would be interested in moving back to Ireland as the Newsletter were looking for a Sales Manager.I told him that I would love to move back to Ireland as my family are from the Donegal Roses but I reckoned that as soon as they saw my name, Kieran Kelly which is an extremely Catholic name, they would not touch me with a barge pole. He didn't believe that my religion would be a problem as I had exactly the right experience that they were looking for. I told it could no harm putting me forward but the next day he came back to me with deepest apologies as they were not in the least bit interested in even having an initial chat with me. That was about 25 years ago and not much has changed with sectarian discrimination since then Very sad to see that they have not moved on from the days of the Troubles

[@SonOfViking]

He was responding to an earlier point in which it was (correctly) stated that a refusal by Unionists to constructively engage in a debate about what a united Ireland might look like and how best to protect identities within it could only increase the likelihood that they would find themselves within one, without their voice ever having been heard and decisions therefore made on their behalf in the absence of said contribution from them. His response was therefore doubly fatuous. One, because he tried to juxtapose a delusional fantasy of his own (his take on what is Post-Brexit UK) against the original speaker's simple declaration of fact and reality. And two, because what he therefore actually implied was that Unionists could best realise their own ambitions, not by enagaging with reality, but by immersing themselves ever deeper in aspirational fantsy, and even inviting Nationalists to come along for the ride. This was of course, by way of rhetoric, in diametric opposition to what the original speaker had assumed, namely that Unionism's best way forward was to understand the reality it inhabits and engage with it. Fifty or so years ago a prominent Unionist politician within the Vanguard Party (forerunner to the DUP in many ways), William Craig, once stated at a rally that one should not see the civil war in which his society had been plunged as a fight just between Nationalist and Unionist, but ultimately between fantasist and realist. And, in the context of his time, he actually had a point. Realism at the time had to recognise, whether one approved or not, that NI was "a Protestant state for a Protestant people". Without that core philosophy underpinning every aspect of its polity, the polity itself ceased to exist. That was just the reality of things, and Craig saw it as his purpose to uphold, defend and impose that reality - nothing good could come about from fantasists winning that struggle. Now, that situation has completely reversed - those who recognise reality and those who resort to aspirational pursuit of ill-defined fantasy have completely swapped camps. Lowry simply proves that point.

There was no general election during WW1. The first election in Dec 1918, the last time that the whole of Ireland voted together, to elect 105 MP's, returned 79 pro-Independence, only 23 pro-Union! Country was partitioned, electorates were gerrymandered to ensure Unionist majorities in Stormont & local government councils. Was that fair, equitable and democratic? 🤔

Let them carry on, and observe from the sidelines “what a bunch of weirdos”… Instantly unelectable…

What paper does he work for -- the Daily Delusion ?

[@BassBusMusic]

If the unionists are serious about staying part of the UK they have to be involved in the discussion otherwise their points regarding remaining in the UK will not be heard. This is lunacy.

The DUP is really just a new Black and Tans. Get rid of'em

An argument against reunification could be the special position NI finds itself in now, being able to sell tariff free into the EU and UK economies. Now I'm not advocating anything for NI, just as I won't get involved with Scottish independence. I don't live in those places and don't feel my opinion is relevant. However what I will say is that any campaign in those regions that follows similar motivations as those for brexit without a detailed financial analysis and justification, could bring harm to the residents. I want to stress 'could' because I have made no such analysis but clearly nor did the pro brexit mob and it is agreed that was a failure.

[@i-am-vonnegut]

Many who advocate independence from the UK. Or at least a federation of kingdoms. Know that Brexit is not the blueprint for anything other than a mess. I appreciate your thoughts and comments. 👍.

[@justsayen2024]

You see everything would be fine if the Republic of Ireland would become part of the UK again. Then we can have Ian Paisley come on television and tell us how the dinosaurs roamed the Earth with humans side-by-side. If that were true depictions of Noah's Ark would be quite interesting herding mister and misses Tyrannosaurus Rex up the gangplank😅

[@hughmckendrick3018]

Brexshit! Nationalists would laugh in the face of any unionist proposing that. What's he on ?

Let's hear what his vision of this wonderful new UK will look like and how it will be achieved. At this stage, it is reasonable to ask for specifics, not more unicorns on sunny uplands.

Yup.

[@anglebars6084]

I am sick of people like this telling me (sadly in the UK currently) that brexit is wonderful and it’s great but irish reunification or Scottish independence is mad? Sick of it and the amount of minds twisted by this pish shows it. It is the reason I’m leaving as soon as my degree is done and I don’t plan to return to Scotland unless it’s an independent nation or the UK massively reforms and stops appeasing these ludicrous unionists who see nothing but a union flag and “togetherness”. Sorry everyone, rant over.

It reminds me of the ootimism of Scott. Remember his colleague that left the tent saying, "I'm going out. I shall be some time." And he froze to death in suicide because there was nothing for it. Such brains are fools made if.

[@jurgenporn1867]

For Unionists the Brexit way intended from the getgo was a widened UK in which the Republic of Ireland had to be 'integrated'. Several times it was said so by Nigel Farage. All leading brexiters said so on occasions. The DUP would gladly revise history with false narratives. 1973 the UK and the ROI joined the EU. So to an english Brexit meant leaving together. This way the 'troubles' would have lost their cause. The audacity in this fits perfectly with the unionist behavior since NI was 'invented'.

[@michaeldautel7568]

Post Brexit Ireland should join Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland and leave the UK Brexit pile of confusion!🤔👍

[@garotadagavea]

Well, the Scotts are saying the same. Brexit may well be the end of the UK.

This 'post-Brexit wonderful, new UK', when is it going to happen ? In one year's time ? In fifty years' time ? In one hundred years' time ? If it's in fifty years' time, what do we do in the meantime ? How do we know that it is *certainly* going to happen ?

[@gerardodwyer5908]

Lowry is the very definition of a far right, fundamentalist unionist. The dude, and the newspaper he works for, live in the past. Neither reflect today's changing Northern Ireland, its trending demographics, or make any genuine effort to communicate progressive, rational and modernist politics to a wider audience beyond its core and diehard Orange Lodge faithful.
