Arlene Foster has resigned as leader of the DUP, and as First Minister of Northern Ireland.

Obviously she’s not someone I’d share, probably any, opinions with, politically, and I can’t help but think this will increase the, um, instability in Northern Ireland.

It feels like a united Ireland is becoming increasingly inevitable. It’s only how much pain people will have to endure to get there.

The Orange population of Ulster was thrifty and industrious but not lovable. And it had no love for England. It was quite alone; it owed no allegiance to anyone but itself and the grim God it had fashioned in its own likeness. England was a convenience, England existed to see that no Catholic Irish parliament ever controlled affairs in Ulster
