British withdrawal only solution to sectarian cancer.
The finding of the BBC's “State of Minds – The Children” programme that sectarianism is rife amongst children is unsurprising within the context of continuing English rule in Ireland. The English government has always sought to divide and conquer, and this has been no different in Ireland. Furthermore the 1998 Stormont Agreement served to institutionalise sectarianism.
The only viable solution to the cancer of sectarianism is a full British withdrawal from Ireland over a stated time-frame. Republican Sinn Féin's ÉIRE NUA programme provides for a federation of Ireland's four Provinces, including the nine counties of Ulster, offering maximum decentralisation of power to local communities and in accordance with local majorities. This would truly realise the vision of the Father of Irish Republicanism, Theobald Wolfe Tone, “to substitute the common name of Irishmen in place of the denomination of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter”.
The continuation of English rule, on the other hand, can only result in further instability.
