LONDON/BELFAST (Reuters) - Northern Irish loyalist paramilitary groups have told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson they are temporarily withdrawing support for the 1998 peace agreement due to concerns over the Brexit deal.

They said they would not return to the deal until their rights were restored and the Northern Irish Protocol - part of the 2020 Brexit Treaty - was amended to ensure unfettered trade between Britain and Northern Ireland.

Both Northern Ireland and Scotland are really angered about being dragged out of Brexit by England.

I don't blame them one bit. I think that situation is going to get far worse.

STAR TREK: The Next Generation was ahead of its time and rarely shied away from a bold prediction...

The actual scene:

2024 is not that far off anymore...

Wow.

I was never into The Next Generation, but I had a roommate at the time who was. I never knew they did episodes like that.

Pretty bold stuff for what's supposed to be a family show.

One of these days somebody needs to explain to me the whole Irish shit show.

Basically, it was a religious problem with a side of English arrogance.

So you think they'll start bombing shit again?

No and I certainly don't ascribe to the violence either but if England plays this wrong, Ireland may be it's own full country again (albeit with a probable north/south) especially in light of how many younger people don't fall into their parents religions as easily.
