The fall of Britannia and unraveling of the U.K., By Femi Fani-Kayode & More News Here

…in the subsequent few years, with the possible exit of Northern Ireland and Scotland, this as soon as nice and mighty energy that colonised and dominated nearly the complete world might solely be left with England and Wales, two comparatively small ethnic nationalities, inside her borders!

“Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves! Britons NEVER, NEVER, NEVER shall be slaves.” – James Thomson.

Nothing displays the glory, pleasure, energy and energy of the outdated British Empire and the island nation that was as soon as generally known as “Great Britain” and is now generally known as the “United Kingdom” than the lovely phrases of James Thomson’s well-known track and warfare anthem, half of which I’ve quoted above.

For those that have no idea, the United Kingdom is made up of 4 traditionally separate and distinct “tribal zones” and ethnic nationalities, all underneath one monarch with restricted constitutional powers.

The first are the English, who derive from two tribes generally known as the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans, who reside in the Southern and Midland zones of the British Isles, whose capital is London and who’re the conventional and authentic lords, masters, rulers and homeowners of the union.

The second are the Scottish, who derive from two tribes generally known as the Picts and the Gaels, who’re Gaelic Celts, and reside in the far North of the British Isles, whose capital is Edinburgh and who unsuccessfully fought lots of of years of wars and battle to achieve independence from the English.

The third are the Welsh, who’re Brionic Celts, who reside in the West of the British Isles, whose capital is Cardiff and who, traditionally, have proved to be extra loyal to the English Crown than every other tribe or ethnic nationality in the Union over the final 600 years.

I ought to add this, nothing displays the warrior spirit of the Welsh and Welsh nationalism higher than the well-known marching track generally known as “Men of Harlech”, which was written in 1862.

The fourth are the Northern Irish, who’re Gaelic and Brionic Celts, who reside on a small portion of a big island off the West coast of the British Isles, whose capital is Belfast and who have been initially half of the Irish Free State (a separate and distinct nation who fought for and received their independence from the British in 1922 and later got here to be generally known as ‘Eire’ or the ‘Republic of Ireland’, with their capital in Dublin).

It is on these 4 tribal, historic, racial and geographical pillars of England, Scotland, Wales and Northen Ireland that the United Kingdom stands.

If one of these pillars is eliminated the Union might be in bother. If two are eliminated the Union is completed and will ultimately, like Humpty Dumpty, fall.

It is on this context that we should take into account what has transpired in Northern Ireland in the previous couple of days.

This is a really exceptional and extraordinary achievement, given the incontrovertible fact that not too way back its members have been labelled as terrorists and enemies of the state by the British authorities and many of them have been hounded, terrorised, incarcerated, tortured and killed, merely for looking for to train their proper of self-determination. Sounds acquainted?

For the first time in historical past, the political get together generally known as Sinn Fein (that means “we ourselves”) has received the elections in that area.

This is a really exceptional and extraordinary achievement, given the incontrovertible fact that not too way back its members have been labelled as terrorists and enemies of the state by the British authorities and many of them have been hounded, terrorised, incarcerated, tortured and killed, merely for looking for to train their proper of self-determination. Sounds acquainted?

This is a celebration that when described itself as the political wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and that’s completely dedicated to secession from the United Kingdom and to the reunification of Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland.

And the fact is that given their victory at the polls, it is just a query of time earlier than each of these goals are achieved.

Arthur Griffiths, who based Sinn Fein in 1905, alongside Gerry Adams and the late Ian McGuiness, the latter two males who led it to glory by means of the Eighties, Nineteen Nineties and up till only a few years in the past, have lastly triumphed and been vindicated.

Conversely, their mortal foes and adversaries, collectively epitomised by the late fire-spitting, loyalist Protestant priest, Reverend Ian Paisley, one of the most outstanding leaders of the pro-British DUP in Northern Ireland and the inspirational voice and rallying level of the complete Unionist motion, should be turning of their graves.

Yet the best loser in all that is the United Kingdom, who waged a brutal, relentless and extraordinarily violent warfare towards the navy wing of Sinn Fein and terrorised the Catholic, pro-Republican and pro-independence inhabitants in that province for over 100 years!

Despite their legendry ruthlessness, vicious suppression and unprecedented brutality towards the Catholics of Northern Ireland, the British ultimately got here to the negotiating desk and have been obliged to signal the Good Friday Agreement on April 10, 1998, which compelled them to make quite a few hitherto unthinkable concessions to the Republicans and permit Sinn Fein to take part in the political course of. It was at the moment that the IRA dropped its weapons and democracy kicked in.

24 years after that settlement was signed, the loyalist, Unionist and Protestant political associates and allies of the British have been roundly trounced at the polls and Sinn Fein has lastly triumphed.

This is a good blow to British pleasure and a really harmful improvement for the future and cohesion of the United Kingdom.

It is an irony of destiny that those that colonised us and solid our nation, Nigeria, collectively into one nation with the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates in 1914, at the moment are themselves (simply over 100 years later) falling aside.

To put all this in context, it’s slightly like the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) successful elections and taking management of the Eastern zone of Nigeria or the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) doing the similar in the West.

That would current an important hazard to Nigerian unity and ship shivers down the backbone of many Nigerians.

Yet, the tales of woe of the United Kingdom seem to have solely simply begun.

When one {couples} the unfolding scenario in Northern Ireland with the reality {that a} second referendum will happen in neighbouring Scotland in a pair of years, to find out whether or not the Scots decide to stay inside the Union or depart, it’s clear that inside the subsequent few years this proud and noble island of extremely robust and resilient individuals, who’ve introduced a lot to the world in phrases of tradition, civilisation, training, faith, commerce, the arts, language, historical past, the legislation and a lot extra, could also be a really totally different place to what she is in the present day!

This is a sorry and pitiful plight for a nation that was as soon as the glory and envy of the civilised world and that when had the best, largest, wealthiest, most various and strongest empire that the world has ever identified.

I assume that “Britannia” not “rules the waves” and I worry that she is drawing nearer to an period through which she’s going to just about be nothing however a shadow of her former self.

The outdated British Empire (which included India, North America, Canada, the West Indies, elements of China, the Middle East, Indo-China, Asia minor, Africa and a lot extra) stretched from one finish of the earth to the different and consequently it was stated that “the sun could never set” on its shores.

Yet, in the subsequent few years, with the possible exit of Northern Ireland and Scotland, this as soon as nice and mighty energy that colonised and dominated nearly the complete world might solely be left with England and Wales, two comparatively small ethnic nationalities, inside her borders!

It is an irony of destiny that those that colonised us and solid our nation, Nigeria, collectively into one nation with the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates in 1914, at the moment are themselves (simply over 100 years later) falling aside.

As King David stated when he was instructed about the dying of King Saul, “how are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war perished”.
