(The editorial can be read here: ‘Unionists should not join discussions about destroying the UK,’ March 7)

Who would expect unionists to accept Irish rule and then to jettison their loyalty and allegiance to all things British?

British rule has no moral or legal right to govern Irish people, full stop.

Ultimately unionists will destroy themselves if they don’t, once and for all, right the long standing wrong of British rule over Irish people.
