A little too much cronyism and expecting to trust ppl to do the right thing when they clearly have no sense what that is.

Indeed, all this needs is for us all to decide we are perfectly ethical and we just need to be trusted re what we decide to disclose or not. don’t know what the problem is?!

Haha, he’s just a gift ‘i asked myself, is what i’m doing legal?’. I mean, we are many kilometers passed ‘ethical’ when you’re trying to walk the line with that one!

absolutely

It’s an odd one, i worked the elections in the north for years and we kept spoiled votes and they were counted (the text was not recorded) but it wasn’t announced with the tallies afaik?! But given the social media campaign it became more prominent this time.

Absolutely, the mainstream media and politicians continue to be abysmal at confronting an increasingly emboldened far right and seem to be happy just allowing their BS claims. I’m delighted with what looks like a landslide for Connolly but this ability to so easily claim a false narrative is bad.

You’re just right, everything about the imposed legacy act and its associated measures are ethically indefensible. There is no sustainable peace without transparency.

And mostly absolutely no understanding as to what that means, no one is going to record and analyze the mad witterings they decide to write on the ballot paper. Just a waste of their democratic privilege.

I’ve not been as excited about an election in a long time!

So many posts y’day let me hold onto to some semblance of sanity, it’s like a constant retraumatizing groundhog day.

Unresolved pasts never really stay there, they continue to impact the present and no matter how much the WM govt want to. Imposing ‘legacy’ acts cannot achieve closure when the main aim is to stop revealing the degree of British statement involvement in a dirty war.

It’s the hope that can get to you but we need to remember the WM govt has imposed ‘legacy’ on our past and in reality that stifles our ability to achieve any semblance of positive peace in the present. Across communities.

These wouldn’t the be same academics who believe their access to British archives so they can write their wee official histories are worth more than justice, by any chance?

absolutely exhausting, often with little to no knowledge of what any ‘community’ needs or wants (especially those within it who are not open to being just incorporated into the current set up).

Thanks Colin, it does make a difference hearing that unconnected people recognize the complete lack of justice in the British govt yet again looking after its own. I’m sure there is a lot we don’t know but at least there is no dispute on where wrong lies.
