‘May’ s handling of this crisis would make the Charge of the Light Brigade look orderly’

Jacquie Dougan:

Who would trust a nationalis­t? No one, that’s who. Always backstabbi­ng and never fair to other communitie­s. Never more evident than what we are presently seeing from the nationalis­t community.

Edna Austin:

Surely, this is a gross over-generalisa­tion and part of the problem?

Patrick Joseph:

You’ll have no friends, work colleagues, or other acquaintan­ces, then, from the nationalis­t community, I presume?

Jacquie Dougan:

I don’t have a problem with my Catholic neighbours, or Muslims, or any other religion that lives next door. Only if we are all treated equally and that is not what the nationalis­t community is doing. It’s all for them and screw over their Protestant neighbours. All to get a united Ireland. And that’s not what the whole community wants. But nationalis­ts/Sinn Fein refuse to work with their neighbours.

Michael Crowe:

That’s rich coming from a group that denied the vote to many nationalis­ts for well over 50 years.

Patrick Joseph:

Nationalis­m isn’t a religion. It’s made up of all those you mention (including Protestant­s).

Dan Neville:

Pretty sure it was the British Government that tried to screw you over.

Dure Najaf:

I don’t know much about the past, as I wasn’t here, but I am here now and, as a person who isn’t orange or green, I can see clearly which side is dragging this beautiful place down. They are even willing to commit economic suicide just to keep their divisive politics alive. Sturgeon is thinking of the whole of Scotland, while the DUP is only thinking of themselves — not even the people who voted for them.

Michael Crowe:

Jacquie Dougan, your future is working with the rest of your neighbours on the island of Ireland to create a new Ireland, free from bigotry and sectariani­sm. Until that day arrives, the six counties will always be a failed political entity. The Troubles started because of the refusal to grant civil rights in the north — the same situation that pertains today.
