This really is the end of Northern Ireland, at least as part of the United Kingdom, the definition of which has now been stretched to the point that it has become meaningless.
There may or may not be a 32 County Republic, but Britain is on the way out of Northern Ireland. Well on the way, in fact. Only a Conservative Government would ever have dared to do this. And now, this one has.
This is not about a United Ireland. This is about whether Britain wanted Northern Ireland. That was always going to be the question eventually. And we are now days away from pulling out.
There are even going to be capital controls between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. From this week. United Ireland or no United Ireland, the Six Counties are out of the United Kingdom if being in it still means anything at all.
