NI’s Brexit bomshell
The story of Republicanism is sometimes shaped by the histories of the brave men who faced off against British foes. What is less common are the heroic, almost mystical actions of women who have helped shape Irish politics and the Republican movement.
Nowhere is the story more greatly illustrated than in the Brexit farce and those who chose to oppose it. And from quarters that would be thought fanciful if they were not entirely true.
Britains exit of the European Union has been revealed as a tragic result of Conservative infighting- one where lies, and false narratives were sold to a sometimes susceptible audience. Perhaps one of the loudest voices in even bringing the people of the north of Ireland a deal that would not see them go back on the Good Friday Agreement was a woman who spent 13 years in prison for the activity sheet she took on the front line of IRA republicanism.
In understanding how and why Martina Anderson came to viciously oppose what she saw as the nightmare being foisted upon the UK by Thatchers children, aka. the Conservative Party, we must understand her illustrious background.
The battle is born in Derry against British forces, her role in taking on and trying to dismantle the yoke of Westminster-led oppression, her period of incarceration and subsequent release on the Good Friday agreement to finally her role in fighting what she saw as a mammoth step back in the games that the people of the north of Ireland have made in the push for peace.
