I dislike SF but this is a very mature perspective.
Oooof.
I’ve always liked Liz.
Game respects game
“Servant” is the opposite of monarch, though.
What territory did she say this in?
As someone who detests SF and their dreary bitter and ever boring rhetoric this is a welcome and refreshing change in tone from the party or at least their leader anyway. Her colleagues in stormont however are so begrudging they wouldn’t even let a commemorative rose bush be planted.
Seemingly since this though, a tune has changed and now apparently a tree planting will go ahead, petty stuff but it’s a matter of respect. I guess they’re slowly starting to realise they’re going to have to make a few concessions to make a new Ireland work if they really want to achieve it. These are perhaps the first smallest steps in warming up to those of a British, Northern Irish identity. It’s going to be interesting to see how far they take it.
Mature take from Mary-Lou. SF talk about a united Ireland, which in theory would include those who identify as British.
Genuine question. In the event of a united Ireland, what would our national anthem be? South Africa has an anthem made up of 4 languages to reflect the varied cultures that live there. Would we adopt a bilingual anthem, a la SA?
Very good move by Marylou but I am finding it fairly funny that those who would be lambasting Leo or Micheal as West Brits if they did this, are now praising Marylou for doing this. There is some heap of mental gymnastics on display.
