The people of Northern Ireland are unique.
Frankly, they may be the only people left in the United Kingdom who still truly understand what it means to be British.
Not as a slogan.
Not as a flag for convenience.
But as an identity forged through loyalty, sacrifice, resilience and history.
That community bond matters.
And to understand just how catastrophically the Government has handled this situation, consider this:
Loyalists, Unionists and Nationalists are coming together.
In Northern Ireland.
That sentence alone should stop every official in Stormont & Whitehall dead in their tracks.
Because when communities with such deep historic divisions find common cause, it tells you something profound.
The public can see what the Government refuses to admit.
This is not a “community tension” problem.
It is a failure of leadership, border control and public safety.
