News from northern Ireland?

The good friday agreement, otherwise known as the Belfast agreement has been described as a truce, but are republicans represented? In a climate where people are often compelled to pay lip service to beurocracy, it’s hard to say. For instance, republicans overwhelmingly abstained from voting in a referendum in 1973 on whether Ireland should join Eire or remain part of the UK. The reason why is unknown.
A census in Northern Ireland is planned for 2020, and news of the changing demography of northern Ireland may sound ominous for those with experience of British beurocracy, which isn’t culturally sensitive. In other words, possible reprisals for those who identify themselves as republicans.
In 1972 there was a well planned human rights march which was to end with TV coverage. According to British reports, orders were not to let activists gain access to the media at any cost. Reprisals were that twenty eight people were shot that day and fourteen people died.
