Belfast - Genuine Question

It’s incredibly sectarian.

Maybe if they don’t recognise the legitimacy of Ireland they should hand back their Irish passports.
160 peace walls help !

Hindsight is wonderful but not having such a clear distinction between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, UK has been a huge mistake, not least the cowards in the Dail who ran away from changing the official name of our country, from Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. I fully admit that I thought back in 1998, that it was a good thing.

However, republicans took the worst take on the GFA, and created this Walter Mitty outlook, that is not set in reality. It allows them to pretend that they're the same as us, largely isolating themselves from the prods, in the expectation that a UI is inevitable, and they can force us to clean up their mess. All this instead of focusing on building a lasting relationship and partnership with unionism, hence why there are now 160 peace walls (19 in 1998), and education is still split 93% along sectarian lines.
 
🤔
When I lived in Cork I never wished to visit Belfast but recently I've heard good things about the place tbf. There are probably some nutters still living in the past there but it seems to be friendly enough there now.
