The GFA provides for two types of unification referendum, the mandatory one we talk about often, and the little-discussed discretionary type. The refusal of the political establishment here to plan for a border poll is a strategic error that leaves us wide open to the threat described in this piece.
The Irish Government should be planning for a once unthinkable event: Nigel Farage becoming PM and weaponising a border poll against Ireland, relishing the chaos he could cause. He could do this within the law, and nationalism couldn't easily complain.
How Nigel Farage could weaponise a border poll against the Irish state
There is a type of border poll which once would have been unthinkable but for which the Irish government now ought to be planning.

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.

The most entertaining part is that they could increase funding to properly pay and equip our defence forces without needing to touch the triple lock. The fact that they haven't and none of them are advocating that demonstrates how the only thing they want is to sit with the "bigger boys". Pathetic
The Irish commentariat has gone into overdrive, not just misinforming but outright lying about threats to our security.
What makes it worse is that this small handful of people with paid column inches, media appearances & think tanks dismiss the majority as 'lecturing' others.

All of this is fascism. And not early stage either. This is the embedding of the Right Wing Daily Mail press consensus as the absolutely unshakable common sense of the UK state. Made possible because the "left wing" party has abdicated any kind of moral position on it.

The “Labour” Party finds itself arguing ordinary workers, carers and others are “takers”.
Hey everyone, here's the news, if you aren't a high earner, entrepreneur or a "skilled frontline worker" (whatever the fuck that means) the "Labour" Party says you aren't contributing, you're a taker!
This is so disgusting.

Libertarian twitch bros love to toss out that line about “you couldn’t make a movie like Blazing Saddles today,” and what makes that somehow both sad and funny is just spending ten minutes on Twitter, the reality is what you actually couldn’t make today is Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.

The mandatory waiting period should never have been put in place after Repeal and it is high time for its removal.
There is "no scientific support" for a mandatory waiting period for abortions in Ireland, according to the chief medical director of the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA).

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).
