Lord Trimble has urged Joe Biden to drop his support for the Northern Ireland Protocol, warning the post-Brexit border rules “risk a return to sectarian strife”.
The architect of the Good Friday Agreement accused the White House of “contributing to the damage being caused” to the peace treaty by siding with the European Union on the issue.
He said in a letter to the US President that the “political promises of the Belfast Agreement have been flippantly dismissed” because of the protocol.
The protocol, agreed as part of the Brexit deal, requires checks on goods traveling from GB to Northern Ireland to be carried out at ports in order to avoid the return of a land border with the Republic. […]
Lord Trimble told Mr. Biden, who has Irish ancestry, that the protocol had been “imposed” on the people of Northern Ireland without their consent.
He said: “The result has been political unrest and violence and threats of further violence on our streets because the political promises of the Belfast Agreement have been flippantly dismissed through the NIP.” …

Malta runs SCOTUS.
ChInA runs Xiden.
almost the entire Congress would sell out the USA for dime,
and did.
I know that the DNC likes to side with Ireland against the UK, and I sort of get it. Nobody is ‘pure’ in that dispute. But sheesh, pick you spots! You just got done embarrassing Britain - your most steadfast ally - over Afghanistan treating them like a mushroom while you attempted to sneak out of the country.
The old coot’s handlers aren’t happy just destabilizing and destroying the US, they want to disrupt the entire world...
They love chaos, death, mayhem, misery, and destruction.
Joe Talibiden causes “civil unrest” everywhere he goes.
May the new “FU Biden” cheer become the new rallying cry...sorta like “Remember the Alamo” did.
So why should he care? If he even understands or knows about this.
He and the Obama gang are doing just fine.
We are a nation of sellouts.
And that’s not even our worst apostasy.
The collapse…the apocalypse of America…is very close.
Thing is, in truth siding with the EU is also siding against Ireland. Whether Ireland realizes it or not.
Of course Biden will be on the wrong side and be a disaster, it’s par for the course
To democrats, that's a bonus.
I’ll donate $100 to Sleepy46’s re-election if he can locate the UK on a map. And I’ll spot him Germany and France.
Wrongside Joe strikes again…
Ireland has a long sad history of being exploited by outsiders, mostly Britain. Why any of them would not want to be a unified independent state escapes me. I get that religious divisions run deep, but Geez— why stay on the UK plantation?
At one point the UK had better living conditions than the Republic of Ireland which was a deterrent to Northern Ireland wanting to unite with the Republic. But apparently the per capita income in the Republic is now higher than in the UK. So maybe the main reason to stay apart is Northern Irish Protestants not wanting to be in a Catholic-majority country.
There’s just no pile of dog shit Biden won’t step into, is there?
Potato-Head is a walking disaster.
Trump has the Midas touch.
Potato-Head has the Sadim touch.
The bigger question is why they want to be on the EU plantation, under Teutonic rule via the Brussels proxy.
At least in the UK, they actually had voting rights, and those being the same rights the American colonies sought and were denied before they struck out for independence. Don’t take the long-standing narrative as absolute truth.
