Did you see the reaction when the preacher asked why in God's name it had taken the death of a young woman to bring politicians together?
Incredibly powerful.
Arlene Fister did not look comfortable at all! |

I was thinking that too. Would like to have seen the other leaders faces too.

I hope it was a wake-up call, not just to those who can break the impasse over power-sharing but also to the Brextremists on the British mainland whose grasp of Ireland and its complexities seems dangerously naive. |

English Tory politicians, with absolutely no accountability to the people, imposing their rules on the north?
Crazy.
But that is the route Brexiteers will have to go down unless Stormont is revived.

Other than shaming the politicians into ending the impasse i can't see how they can be forced back. There should be some mechanism to legally oblige them to. I certainly hope there's no return to the dark days of insanity |

Yeah but with NI being the lynchpin of the whole brexit shambles....isn't it a coincidence that Stormont hasn't been in operation for around 3 years? We have no voice in our own parliament to discuss anything. Call me mister tinfoil hat but i really believe that it's by design and that the same sex marriage and irish language act empasse is just a smoke screen....
RIP Miss McKee.... |

"Some people would say westminster's role in the North of Ireland should be scrapped and power transferred to Dublin. "
If the Island of Ireland voted for reunification then great yes. |

If the people of Northern Ireland voted for it first yes. It's not up to the whole island to decide. |

Was there something on your mind when you typed "Arlene Fister"?
Or do you know something we don't?  |

Do keep up.
As stated in Parliament.
Civil servants in Northern Ireland have no political authority to implement the raft of regulations required by hard Brexit.
That is because Stormont is suspended.
To enable the necessary regulations, they would require direction from London.
a.k.a. direct rule.
Brexiteers quite simply are playing with fire.

So, you think it's best if they just stay as they are, doing nothing at all for over 2 years? |

I think you will find that as the population currently stands in NI a lot more want to remain as part of the UK as opposed to wanting a United Ireland.
I am from Northern Ireland and like the majority of the population there am totally against a United Ireland.
I do not see many complaints about the current system of direct rule from Westminster. It appears to be working well. |

Found the service very moving , the way her friend and sister talked about her , she did sound a special young lady , in the greater scheme of things it may sound not important , but when her friend said she was often late when they had arranged to meet but that was more than likely due to the fact she had probably stopped to talk to and share her lunch money with a homeless person , She has my respect, I am sure it has been said countless times before but surely her death must not be in vain , R.I.P. |

David Trimble, Nobel Peace Prize winner, former Northern Ireland Minister and a man who the Peace Agreement is attributed to has just been on Newsnight. He is a (no deal?) Brexiteer and has just said the border issues have been politicised beyond reason.
On the other hand the Sinn Fein leader was interviewed also who said she would support the Brexit deal as it stands as it allows for an orderly exit - mentioning the border issues along with this.
Two surprising points of view. |

Not being funny but I doubt it will make any difference as the murder of Jo Cox hasn't made any difference for the utter contempt our politicians appear to hold us in.
Some MP's have been complaining about threats and abuse and hou generally find that they are the same MP's who are going against what their constituents voted for |

Tories only act when the most senior in the Conservative party are targeted as a whole as happened with the Brighton bombing and the mortaring of Downing St. |

It still is. The Iranian Parliament yesterday designated the US military a state sponsor of terrorism.
Tit for that after the Trump administration designated the Republican Guard a terror group. |

They still get paid, get a salary for doing nothing, think they had some cuts after 20 month of no governing but still receive around 35'000. Cut it altogether and see if there's some reasoning. |

If they are not in government in NI, then they should not be paid? No government no pay! |

Sinn Fein have no interest in Stormont
They are happy to sit back without Stormont let Brexit take place and change peoples thinking
Then demand a border pole
Dissident activity is what they dont want as it reminds people of the past
They dont want anyone reminded for the sake of a border pole |
