Anschluss Made Easy? Dream On, Dublin!

I suppose prior to 1938 there must have  been obnoxious scribblers in Austria..

Hitler’s Germany grabs Austria

March 12, 1938

The crowd welcomes the arrival of Nazi German troops in the city of Vienna.

…

Not quite the reception Belfast might offer Eire’s triumphalist storm-troops.

….pumping out pro-Anschluss propaganda, perhaps headed ‘Making Sense of a Greater Germany‘ but I don’t know for sure.

However, that speculation was my response to reading some presumptuous pap in the ‘Irish Times’ yesterday.

Reviews: Making Sense of a United Ireland by Brendan O’Leary and Can Ireland Be One? by Malachi O’Doherty

That’s the illustration and here’s the intro.

Policymakers have a duty now to map out in detail what a united Ireland might look like.

Otherwise, we risk the kind of post-referendum conflict and confusion that followed Brexit.

Another, older piece of writing also came to mind.

“Thou shalt not cover thy neighbour’s house.”

…..

These S.O B.s in their foreign republic issuing provocations?

They’d best rearrange their thinking caps if they imagine that all Dublin’s aggressive expansionism would reap from ‘reunification’ would be acrimonious ‘Brexit-style’ debate.

If they ever got some dirty deal from a sell-out UK government that acquiesced in the denial of the Ulster-British nation’s right to self-determination..

…

… ..

…the cost to Eire in blood, sweat and tears would be akin to a dress-rehearsal for Armageddon.

‘Re-Unification?’ Don’t Hold Yer Breath, Senator Daly!

If you have read The Times this week, you will be aware that a prominent member of one of Eire’s major political parties has told the expansionist element in his country that “Ireland should heed the lessons of Brexit and prepare for reunification before any referendum…”

By ‘Ireland,’ one assumes, he is referring to Eire, because ‘Ireland’ is a mere geographical expression, an island on which dwell two distinct nations, neither of whom has any right to aspire to absorb the other by any kind of annexation, by paramilitary coercion…

…or by ‘border poll.’

I know I have said this all before, but there are still too many mainland Brits insufficiently acquainted with the historical and/or ethnic realities, who may be susceptible to mystification by constant misuse of the name ‘Ireland…’

.

.

…into thinking that the proximity of the two peoples, each with a right to self-determination, allows for absorption of the smaller by the larger into a republic repugnant to that smaller nation’s sense of national identity.

‘Re-unification?’ The island was only united politically under rule from London! Bet that’s not what’s being discussed in Dublin!

Clearly, Fianna Fail Senator Mark Daly has forgotten the lines of one of his nation’s songs, about fighting so that ‘small nations might be free!’

Mark Daly

His warning to Varadkar that ‘ministers were acting recklessly by failing to hold risk assessments’ may sound like practical advice but in fact it’s just offensive to the British people of Ulster.

Election Post-Mortem 3. Alliance Party Of Eire?

’The Alliance Party of Northern Ireland?’

….

Only till it no longer suits their political convenience!

We heard that awkward admission last night, when their new MP, Steve Ferry, did his mealy-mouth mumbling best to avoid a question on the treason option, the prospect of another ‘border poll’ going the wrong way.

Stephen Ferry, MP

…but finally responded to a BBC reporter.

”If there’s a border poll, we’ll have to see…”

So much for those two words, ‘Northern Ireland,’ carefully designed when that party was formed, to gull patriots into believing the Alliance Party were not into deals with treason…

.

.

….not out to deny British Ulsterfolk their self-evident right to self-determination.

It goes without saying that if, by over-breeding and ethnic cleansing, the Enemy Within were to gain a plurality of votes in any such poll, a re-delineation of the border would become necessary, along with population transfers…

.

.

…republicans in Belfast removed en masse to the damnable republic they say they are true to.

And if that solution were not adopted, if it were said by either government, London and/or Dublin, that Ulster in its entirety were up for annexation y our ancestral enemies…

…then armed resistance would be justified, and it would be the right and the duty of British patriots on the mainland and elsewhere to assist loyalist resistance, from each according to his or her ability or means.

Anybody whose response to that scenario is to say “we’ll need to see” is a knave – or in good old-fashioned Ulster talk, a Lundy.

Unlike much of the rest of the UK, elections in Ulster have always, admirably, been fought on issues of principle –

….

 – ‘we are who we are, and what we have, we hold.’ –

Encouragingly, this past election on the mainland, and the standard of debate in the months beforehand, was to some extent a welcome improvement. One hopes that will continue to improve!

 

Nobody with any sense of national identity should allow themselves to be distracted by diversionary rhetoric about socio-economic matters.

.

…

Some in Ulster seem to want to encourage such an unwholesome development, the APNI being an obvious culprit.

No loyal citizen should give them the time of day.

 

No Surrender, Peter Robinson! Ulster WILL Fight!

By any standard, the shameful outburst from Peter Robinson,  the former leader of Ulster’s Democratic Unionist Party, is an affront.

Speaking about a ‘United Ireland‘ – a quaint phenomenon, known only during unifying British rule… –

–

–

Mr Robinson said that he believed Northern Ireland should prepare for the possibility, though he does not think Northern Ireland will want to leave.  https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/anger-as-peter-robinson-says-northern-ireland-should-prepare-for-a-united-ireland-37163297.html

Let’s get one thing straight.

The British people who live in Ulster are a nation, just as the Scots and Welsh who live on the mainland are nations. Even Theresa the Appeaser has had to acknowledge that truth.

As a nation, Ulster has the right to choose its own destiny.

If a disloyal minority, a fifth column of a hostile, expansionist neighbour, out-breeds the Ulsterfolk,,,

….

.

==

….to the extent that they can outvote the Ulsterfolk, then there should be no nonsense about accepting such a vote as the death-knell of national identity.

Hence our indignant response, ‘No Surrender,’ to the outlandish assertion by Robinson that he would let Ulster go quietly into the night were a border poll to result in a win by the Enemy Within.

Even old Lord Empey of the UUP, who’s a mild-mannered man, was moved to rebuke Robinson, saying that the DUP founding member’s comments would be “music to the ears of Irish republicans” and the Irish Government.

But Robinson’s rant was worse than the words you read at the top of our page.

Mr Robinson said that he believed unionists would accept the results of a border poll that led to a united Ireland.

“As soon as that decision is taken every democrat will have to accept that decision.” 

Under NO circumstances should any patriotic Ulsterman or Ulsterwoman ‘accept’ such a baneful result.

Ulster should, and in my opinion would, FIGHT. And Ulster would be right.

It would certainly be sensible to do what should have been done in 1925…

…and re-draw the border, to reduce the numbers of the aggressive neighbouring republic’s Fifth Column.

It would be better still to arrange for the removal of large numbers of such undesirables from Belfast and other non-border areas.

Such people make it abundantly clear that they wish to live under Eire’s Tricolour.

Let them, via a removal truck.

When Robinson warned his audience to ‘prepare’ for the prospect of a ‘United Ireland,’ what he meant was that Ulster should submit.

But there are other steps required to prepare for such a disastrous eventuality.

Just as those Americans, in the news this past weekend, are fighting a nightmare wildfire, rather than just allowing it to consume them…

=

=

….so too should our brave kin in Ulster prepare against any such menace to their heritage of freedom.

That means getting organised, and getting ahold of whatever they can lay hands on, to equip themselves with the means of resistance…

…so that, in the event of a border poll going the wrong way, and in the event that London turned its back on the most loyal subjects of HM The Queen, those abandoned could defend their right to self-determination, by taking out any enemy personnel sent from Eire…

….with the malign intention of replacing Ulster’s proud bright colours with the hateful flag that flies over Dail Eireann.
