Description

‘Northern Ireland,’ Margaret Thatcher said once, ‘is as British as Finchley’

But what if Britain is as Northern Irish as Ballymena? 

On Free State today we look at what unites the right wing Tories and the unionist parties. Is it the racism? Is it the punching down on minorities? And what is it about the genocide in Gaza that they admire so much? 

In Britain Operation Raise the Colours is distracting people with arguments about flags. Where have we heard this before?

But what does the Ulsterisation of Britain mean? Why are we being sucked into these wars that have no meaning when the really dangers are all around us?
