In March of 2020, Drew and Alex discussed how reunification between Ireland and Northern Ireland could be nearing as Sinn Fein, a nationalist party won a majority of seats in Northern Ireland and had unification at the center of their platform. Unfortunately, the perfect mix of COVID, Brexit border issues, and religious and political division have led to weeks of the worst riots and violence in decades. In recent weeks, many young unionists have taken to the streets with Molotov cocktails and bricks over what they called “two tiered policing” and a worsening economic situation over Brexit borders. In this episode, Drew and Alex look at how this situation can be resolved. Currently, the UK’s government compromised with the EU to allow Northern Ireland (which is part of the UK) to be part of a shared trade zone with Ireland. This has indirectly made a border in the Irish Sea and has complicated trade between the UK, Northern Ireland, and Ireland. It has also worsened tensions with Brussels. Drew and Alex discuss how this may reflect the brutal realities of Brexit and how politicians were never honest about how complicated it would be. London, Dublin, and Belfast were not ready for this issue and now they will be forced to address it.
