Breathtaking inversions in today's Graun story from the Republic where L Varadkar prophesies the breakup of the UK following the removal of the protocol -- like he cares!
Johnson risks breakup of UK over Northern Ireland protocol, says Varadkar
Varadkar said Boris Johnson’s administration had been undemocratic and
disrespectful and tacitly accused it of being dishonest and
dishonourable....if you continue to impose things on Northern Ireland that a clear majority of people don’t want, that means more people will turn away from the union.
This from a political party wanting to break up the UK for decades, at times condoning (maybe unofficially) military force, regardless of what a clear majority in NI wanted. T
“What the British government is doing now is very undemocratic and very
disrespectful to people in Northern Ireland because it’s taking that
power away from the assembly.”
A majority of voters supported parties who expressed concern over the Protocol. One of the reasons for scrapping the Protocol is to get the Assembly working again.
Just recently, the Assembly has made Sinn Fein the largest party for the first time, hence the recent support by the Republic, but that does not mean the majority favour Irish unity, of course. Sinn Fein has boycotted the UK Parliament for years, which might be seen as a tad disrepectful to the people who elected them.
