Northern Irish citizens reject the Northern Ireland Protocol
The Northern Ireland Protocol divides the United Kingdom
Boris Johnson needs to scrap the Northern Ireland Protocol
The EU and France wants to invade British sovereignty
The European Union shall not illegally annex Northern Ireland from the Union of the United Kingdom.
Amongst the British and Northern Irish people the thought that the institution of the European Union seeks to annex British terrority and hand it to a Member State of the European Union; Republic of Ireland, is unfathomable.
This flagrant misuse of diplomacy is a violation of international norms set out in Vienna convention, which stipulates the right of free nations to exercise their sovereignty and free reign over their terrority without the interference of other sovereign nations or institutions.
The idea of a border between different parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is so misguided, that it has left the British people wondering what other territory is going to be taken away by the European Union and other Member States, such as Gibratator, situated at the tip of the southeast part of Spain and at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea.

The distress caused amongst British people in Northern Ireland is questionable unjust and is a form of torture as described in the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
The thought of the British-Irish mediated by the United States Peace Agreement of 1997, predating the political unionisation of Europe into the institution of what is now referred to as The European Union, will be under threat if the UK leaves the EU without a Brexit deal is false information.
The Belfast Agreement, more commonly known as The Good Friday Agreement is between the sovereign nations of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and its peoples and sovereign national and local institutions.
Furthermore, to be greatly democratic there were referendums and votes for the people of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and all communities were involved in shaping the laws, rules, procedures and norms of the future of the two nations on the island of Ireland.
Unlike the European Union, which dictates and when they want people to vote they have to vote the way of the President of the European Union and the other unelected (eleven) commissioners.
The British Government should just say “Goodbye EU!” as what the glorious Brexiteers were chanting on Independence Day on Friday 31st January 2020, and go without a Brexit Deal and trade on World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules, laws and norms.
No-one wants violence to return from all sections of the Northern and Republic of Ireland, regardless of the sectarian divide.
Peace will exist, as it has generally been observed since the Belfast Agreement was signed by all sides from the Irish and British communities.
The Troubles and history of Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Great Britain
The history between Great Britain and Ireland has not been pretty and at times dreadful to the Irish people. But that is history and history cannot be undone, so we have to live with what the situation is in today's world.
Despite the differences, upheaval and turbulent times of yesteryear, both the British and Irish Governments have come to deal with each other with respect, and tolerate the opposing views on both sides of the Irish Sea
After the peace agreement that was signed by the Irish Republican leader Michael Collins that led to the first incarnation of the Republic of Ireland, known as The Irish Free State.
Michael Collins was later assassinated by members on his own side for selling out and agreeing to a Southern Irish Republic, while Great Britain retained the North East part of Ireland, now known as Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland is majority Protestant and mostly people from mainland Britain that had moved there and made themselves a home.
There was and still is a minority Catholic community within Northern Ireland and this is where the problems have begun.
The armed struggle to free Ireland from British rule saw the formation of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), led by Michael Collins over a hundred years ago.
Once the Irish Free State was formed relations between a free Irish Republic and Great Britain did have its differences, but each side respected the sovereignty and integrity of each country.
But after World War II this was the start of the seeds of sectarianism, between the minority Catholics influenced and controlled by the IRA, which operated in the Republic of Ireland and was protected by the Irish Government, who wanted to unite the south with the north of Ireland, but did not declare this publicly.
When we moved towards the 1960s the seeds of sectarianism were on the boil, but the match that set the flames alight was the 1970s, which became known as The Troubles.
The Catholics were under increasing pressure from parts of the Ulster Unionists who knew that bowling over and accepting the rise in Ireland becoming united would mean they would be the minority and at the baying hands of the Catholics in the Republic.
When the British Army came ashore on Northern Irish terrority of the United Kingdom, they were invited two-fold by the minority Catholic community and by the Government of Northern Ireland, who were also under pressure to quell the rising tension across the Provinces of Northern Ireland.
But during the 1970s the IRA mobilised into Northern Irish terrority to take on the Unionists and the increasing number of British soldiers deployed in the country to be principal peacekeepers.
The IRA launched a vivacious terrorist campaign that led to the most devastating slaughter of British and Irish citizens mostly done in the Northern Irish cities, such as Belfast, Londonderry and other parts of Northern Ireland including ambushing British and Irish citizens and British soldiers in the countryside and along the border with the Republic.
The IRA hid behind the Catholic community, which led to some of the most infamous days in Northern Irish history, which still invokes bad feelings to this day.
Bloody Sunday came about when Catholics protested at their treatment and inequality and then there was an exchange of gunfire between members of the IRA who were hiding behind the Catholic citizens they were fighting for and British soldiers.
The result was many Catholics lost their lives after being mistaken for members of the IRA, by British soldiers.
This episode is still plaguing Irish and British politics, as former British soldiers are being dragged through the courts on charges of unlawful killing of the protesters that had lost their lives on Bloody Sunday.
The IRA terrorist campaign drifted onto the mainland with the slaughter of a platoon of musicians from the British Army with their horses near The Queen's London residence Buckingham Palace.
The Queen’s cousin Lord Mountbatten was assassinated on his boat while holidaying in the Republic of Ireland in August, 1979.
Lord Mountbatten’s death not only shocked the nation and the Royal Family, in particular Prince Charles, who saw him as a great mentor, but also to the Irish people of the Republic.
This outcry from Irish citizens forced the IRA to not do assassinations or terrorist attacks in the Republic.
The assainassion attempt of the British Prime Minister Margarent Thatcher at the Conservative Party conference in Brighton in 1984, claimed many lives and life changing injuries, but Mrs Thatcher escaped and became more defiant, “not to give into terrorism!"
There were countless bombings in English cities such as Manchester, Birmingham and of course London was the first choice of the IRA’s misguided and bloody campaign.
The British Army wasn’t just targeted in Northern Ireland, but well known social haunts across England and troops in Germany fell fail of such bombings.
There were outcrys ironically from the IRA when the SAS launched a counter-terrorist operation on two known IRA operatives in Gibraltar, killing both of them.
The two last major IRA attacks on British and Northern Irish soil was the Canary Wharf and Manchester bombings, which were so powerful that the blast shockwaves broke the windows of houses and blocks of flats miles away both in 1996.
The last major brutal terrorist attack from a splinter group calling it The Real IRA, was in 1998 after the Belfast Agreement (Good Friday Agreement) was in Omagh, Northern Ireland, which killed and injured many Northern Irish citizens, including a pregnant woman with twins.
