United Ireland campaign is based on a delusion
Unionists who voted for Remain were not voting for Irish unity in the event of Brexit
‘The emergence of a new phase of pan-nationalism is predicated on a weakening of the union in ‘the North’ because of Brexit. The two issues are unconnected for most unionists.’
Open the pages of the Ulster Tatler and there they are. The Northern Irish in their glad rags, grinning for the photographer at birthday bashes, firms’ dos, award ceremonies, book launches, restaurant openings.
Theirs are authentic faces of everyday unionism, a promiscuous display of high spirits by those wanting a good time, politically and religiously uncategorised by the camera. In other words, a Sinn Féin nightmare.
