Its about time. Unfortunately, the legacy media & the Jon Stewart set will go to town with this.

The republicans had better, for ONCE, be prepared to fight the coming PR war.

Seems King did GOOD, I guess the Lefties would prefer the Catholics in NR be under Martial Law. They really don’t want this fight do they?

In the end, the Ulster Unionist, SDLP and Sinn Fein leadership welcomed the agreement. But the DUP leader Ian Paisley called it “more treacherous” than the Sunningdale Agreement where the UK government established the first powersharing executive two decades earlier. Several Unionist MPs also defected from the party to oppose the Agreement.

The final Agreement was posted to every household in Northern Ireland and put to a referendum on May 22. A referendum was also held in the Irish Republic.

The result was overwhelmingly in favour of the Agreement: 71.2% of people in Northern Ireland and 94.39% in the Republic voted Yes to accepting the Agreement.
