Mr. Rees-Mogg has apparently said that if the EU responds to the UK tearing up the Northern Ireland Protocol with tariffs, the UK would not respond in kind as this would be “the politics of the schoolyard”. A better definition of schoolyard politics, would be:
Northern Ireland was partioned from the rest of Ireland mostly due to the threat of an armed uprising by Unionists who smuggled 25,000 rifles into N.I. from Germany in 1914. The DUP represents a strand of Unionism that has never moved on from this era and are continuing the tradition of “Ulster says No”.
