Over 300,000 British soldiers were sent to #NorthernIreland during 25 years of #TheTroubles.

Those troops killed 315 people. The overwhelming majority were Catholic civilians including women, 2 priests, and over 60 children. But only a handful of #BritishArmy prosecutions took place. Few were convicted, and many of those were released early.

Time to stop pandering to victim-makers, says #MarkThompson.

Do you live in Northern Ireland and think our licensing laws need serious reform?

Read and sign this open letter by Free the Night, and share with anyone you think would be interested in doing the same.

The Northern Ireland Prime Minister #JamesCraig then ran off on the boat and train to London, and on 8 December 1922 presented the 'humble address' to King #GeorgeV.

The deal was ratified the same day, and #Northern Ireland rejoined the #UK after two days absence.

Bombing Lebanon is Proof of Israel's Bloody Impunity

Israel claims this is a "justified" response to Hizbullah firing rockets into Israel. We have heard this lie before. Netanyahu also conveniently ignores the 1500 times they have broken the ceasefire in the last year

"The best way to secure the future of the UK is to make it work for the people of the UK. To do this would involve a bold rethink of how we make it a state fit for the present day rather than the arcane hodgepodge of inertia and tradition that it currently is."

"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."

Wake up, Westminster: after May, the Scottish and Welsh parliaments will likely be for independence

With Plaid Cymru and the SNP leading polls in their respective nations, can the United Kingdom continue in this – or any – form, asks Guardian columnist Will Hayward

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.
