History is a nightmare from which Northern Ireland is trying to awake.
The hundreds-of-years-old rift between nationalist Catholics -- who want a united Ireland -- and Protestant Unionists -- who wish to remain part of the United Kingdom -- has its origins in the Ulster Plantation when England divvied up land in the northeast of the island to loyal subjects from northern England and Scotland to help mollify the historically quarrelsome region. Most are familiar with the most recent flareup in the region, the 30 years of conflict known as The Troubles, which formally ended in the late nineties, but the conflict continues to smolder, with traditions passing down the tales of turmoil on both sides of the issue.
On August 3 in Belfast, that long-standing tension took a symbolic pause when anti-migration activists gathered across the UK to protest the stabbing deaths of three little girls in Southport, England.
Interestingly, for pro-immigration globalists, the event was an unwelcome détente.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
That day in Belfast, anti-immigration protestors from the Republic of Ireland flew the Irish tricolor flag alongside local loyalists flying the Union Jack flag of the United Kingdom; in fact, the nationalists from the Republic of Ireland at the rally were also said to have been the most virulent. What started as a largely peaceful gathering eventually devolved into attacks on foreign-owned shops and migrant hotels. Later that day, the nationalist flagbearers were seen drinking with loyalists in a downtown pub.
According to a BBC article, one bystander at the protest summed up the gathering of nationalists and loyalists as: “Divided by politics, united by racism.”
On finding out about the banners, Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Simon Harris said “Leave our flag alone.”

I predict that the invaders won’t have to be deported. They will leave on their own, fleeing in fear. When the citizens have had enough.
The big question is, when will the United States pull it head out of its anus and recognize the fact it's being invaded by hostile forces..
I dunno ... the people of the West seem to me to have become quite docile. It’s understandable given how many decades the enemy has been waiting patiently.
Great news. Thanks for posting.
Give Ireland Back To The Irish!
“Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Simon Harris said “Leave our flag alone.””
Eat dirt, Simon.
Yep. I’m from an Irish family. I have in laws in Dublin. The only thing that stops us from squabbling among ourselves is an outsider trying to stick their nose in.
