Don Moynihan: Sinn Féin now Northern Ireland's largest party in the UK Parliament.

Sinn Féin now Northern Ireland's largest party in the UK Parliament.

Cannot wait for the large statue of Data in Belfast

that would be amazing

I bet we could convince Colm Meaney to back this

Star Trek's predictions for what's coming are usually rubbish but this... This at least looks like it's not ridiculous. Which is all the more amazing when you remember that when it came out, the episode that line is in was ILLEGAL TO BROADCAST in England, literally because of that line

Holy shit, really‽ That's fascinating

Yeah, Margaret Thatchers government really wanted the IRA and anything favourable to them off the tv... and this counted

E.g., if the Sinn Fein leader (an elected UK MP) ever appeared on tv, anything he said had to be dubbed DELIBERATELY BADLY SYNC'D, by an actor.

Which led, in turn, to this bit of genius satire: youtu.be/UOUeauLWEaE?...

The Day Today - IRAyoutu.be Funny parody of broadcasting restrictions imposed during the 1980's.

OMFG 😂🤣💀

I so badly need this and the Bell riots

Yeah way off base

That's why I said "usually". I didnt notice the Eugenics Wars or the rise of Khan, for instance.

Also "homelessness is going to get worse before it gets better" was never what is call a reach

Don't worry, Project 2025 is working on it

We seem to be on track for the Bell Riots as well.

I hope Belfast never gets 5G and remains as peaceful as it was in the 70s.

Also The Bell Riots, so get ready for that San Fran.

Starting to seem pretty plausible

Still rooting for this (Irish reunification).

I mean maybe if the Tories won they could've wrecked the UK even worse that the Protestants would do anything to get away from that mess.

Let’s goooooooo

They never take their seats either. King shit

youtu.be/oRKv6bVwAx4?... just for that last line.

"We must act as if the republic is a FACT" (Eamon de Valera)youtu.be Extracte del film MICHAEL COLLINS: "From the day our our release we must act, Michael, as if the Republic is a FACT. We defeat the British Empire by ignoring it" "Des del dia del nostre alliberament hem d'actuar, Michael, com si la República fos un FET. Derrotem l'Imperi britànic en ignorar-lo"

Sadly the Irish Parliament probably doesn't have elections til next year so Sinn Fein can't take control of the Irish government quite yet. Data might end up being a year or two early in his predictions >_>

Aw 😭

An election could be called early, so who knows!!!

[ wishes and hopes ]

At their highest level of support in the republic a while back Sinn Féin had around a third of the vote. They've now settled back to under a quarter. They may, or may not, be part of the next government, but they won't be in control by themselves.

More relevant to outcomes than Reform, lmao

Nobody look-up what happens in 2026.

Even though people who vote for them know they won’t take their seats, so the voters will have no representation. The unionists have screwed up so badly.

Brexit blowback continues.
