The #humanhaystack then went on threaten and weaken the #GoodFridayAgreement which allowed the place I call home to find a delicate peace after 30 years of violence.

All for the sake of his ego and desire to be Prime Minister because #Eton told him he was entitled too!

@JorisBohnsonPM @JohnLoader6 @statsguy @goatsarah

Sorry to be boring and predictable but you know my alternative for Northern Ireland.

The pathway to achieving that is set out in #GoodFridayAgreement

I will support the English government that will deliver that.

@JorisBohnsonPM @statsguy @Lazarou

As a tee-shirt in a gift shop in #Belfast says 'She was alright when she left here!'

So, yep the #Titanic is on dear old Captain Smith.

Like wrecking the #GoodFridayAgreement institutions is on #Johnson & his lies!

@statsguy @JorisBohnsonPM @Lazarou

Once again, something that was built in #Belfast. Which was working perfectly fine while in the hands of Irishmen was destroyed by an Englishman.

@jackLondon @JorisBohnsonPM

The same Prime Minister helped delivered the #GoodFridayAgreement. Ask the majority here in #NI what that did for us?

The Iraq War was a disaster. The Good Friday Agreement was and is a worldwide success, held up as an example to others.

What has been forgotten in age of everyone must pick a side - #politics is more nuanced than we are prepared to accept. Plus leadership requires difficult & unpopular decisions to be made. That is why not everyone is good at it.

Your #referendum: support for #GFA endures

Read our article by Maria HASSAN 👉 https://sharedfuture.news/your-referendum-support-for-gfa-endures/

Tonge concluded: “It was obvious that the deal might not live happily ever after, but we are here celebrating it 25 years on, which shows its capacity to endure and survive.”

Lads, you may have noticed I have very little patience today for the nonsense in #GB especially that gobshite #johnson

I have just watched Once Upon A Time Northern Ireland on iplayer about the Troubles (what a really understated title that is)

That prick put the #GoodFridayAgreement at risk for his own fu*king ego & a fake fight with the #EU. What he nearly destroyed here is unforgivable. For that alone he deserves to be confined to #history and much worse.

How the hell did we survive that

@Loukas @JohnLoader6 @harriettmb @OrangeMenace

Consistently in polls in #NI - the majority of people in #NI, trust the #Irish Government & #EU to protect #GoodFridayAgreement & our interests. Which tells you all you need about what #NI people think of the #British Government.

You also have to remember what the Irish gave up to get #GFA over the line - Articles 2&3 of 1937 Bunreacht na hÉireann (Irish constitution) which said that they had right over 6 counties of Ulster, which Unionism hated.

@Loukas @JohnLoader6 @harriettmb @OrangeMenace

#Labour isn't that much better to the #Tories in my opinion.

But my opinion on it isn't worth much - I have lost all interest in GB politics. I only care about what they will do in relation to securing the -

•#GoodFridayAgreement

•reforming the institutions to stop any party form bringing it down

•preparing the way for #JointAuthority & calling of a #Border Poll

I am ready for something new!

‘The possible exists within the impossible’: #Agreement25 day one:

US Senator George Mitchell humbly thanked Northern Ireland: “We need you. We need your ongoing patience, stamina, and perseverance. We need people who believe, who know that the possible exists within the impossible.”

Leaving the ECHR would be problematic in many ways whilst we have a government intent on dragging us into right wing authoritarianism. https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2023/04/21/leaving-echr-would-club-uk-with-russia-and-belarus-foreign-secretary-warns/ #ECHR #Europe #HumanRights #HumanRightsLaw #RefugeesWelcome #Refugees #AssylumSeekers #ProtestLaw #Protest #Strike #Dissent #GoodFridayAgreement

"It is past time to grow up. As Gerry Moriarty said on Tuesday night, the euphoria of 1998 arose from the fact we’d all fallen into the fatalism of thinking war and death and injury was all we’d ever write or talk about. I look forward to more such surprises."

P.s If you look closely at the background of that photo - you will see Edwin Poots there.

Yes the dislike of the #GoodFridayAgreement agreement disappears for the #DUP when it benefits them.

#Hypocrisy is something the #DUP is good at!

@Cbfoley

That is so true. She was force of nature. She let nothing stop her. She is the person I think of the most when I think of the #GoodFridayAgreement.

Jeffrey Donaldson says #GoodFridayAgreement conference at Queen’s University is happening in a “bubble” and there’s more reality in Westminster about what will resolve the deadlock. Rishi Sunak appealed directly to DUP at conference today to restore power sharing.

As the great and good is gathered at #HillsboroughCastle tonight celebrating the #GoodFridayAgreement - a few who shouldn't really be there. You know who they are! They get enough airtime.

Let's remember the woman who is no longer get with us, we owe her our peace on this island.......#Mo

What a woman Dr Marjorie "Mo" Mowlam was.

OPINION: As world leaders meet in Belfast, it’s clear the DUP is running out of road.

"The longer the DUP sit out of Northern Ireland’s power-sharing institutions, the more likely it is that the rules will simply be amended to allow the government to function without them."
