"If the polls are to be believed, the United Kingdom is in a very interesting position. By the end of May, it is likely that the largest party in three of the four constituent countries of the UK will want the larger polity in which they operate to break apart."

Surely not, right? Political journalist Sam McBride has written a book exploring the pros and cons of a United Ireland. He's also a cricket fan and has strong opinions on the merit of the sport. The Irish Cricket Podcast loves a good old political discussion, so Ally slung his hook in the direction of Stormont to meet with Sam and discuss cricket's role - however small - in the political future of the island.

Interesting thread from the NI Greens, detailing how UK Labour's plans to mess with ECHR rules is yet another instance of their forgetting that Northern Ireland exists.
Most of what comes out of this is hand-wringing, the wider issue of "ends justifying means" will not be interrogated as the underlying logic applies to other conflicts in the present day, conflicts we will be told in deathly tones are important not to ignore, important to take seriously, important to devote resources to, important to take sides in. How much of that will be unmasked as disingenuous in the future?
