Letter: Ulster conundrum
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: If the Protestants (Unionists) in Northern Ireland vote for the so-called Good Friday Agreement they will be voting with Sinn Fein, the IRA, and the SDLP.
If the Catholics (nationalists and republicans) vote for the agreement they will be voting for the Ulster Unionist Party and for the sectarian extremists of the Ulster Defence Association and the Ulster Volunteer Force.
If the Catholics vote against the agreement they will be voting with Paisley, the Orange Order, and the sectarian extremists of the Loyalist Volunteer Force.
If the Protestants vote against the agreement they will be voting with the republican extremists of the Continuity IRA.
What sort of choices are these to put before decent, peaceful people?
What kind of an "agreement" have Tony Blair, Mo Mowlam, and Senator George Mitchell concocted?
