How can @nytimes be so incorrect in their reporting? Northern Ireland isn’t ruled by Britain. It’s it’s own constituent country within the United Kigdom. #GetYourFactsRight

In the absence of a devolved government it's ruled by Britain
-
Plus the reporter implies that Northern Ireland is ruled by Britain without being represented in Gov. It’s a ridiculous statement & misleads readers. It’s like saying California or Idaho is ruled by USA and not actually part of it

The abortion law is archaic but in fact Northern Ireland isn’t Britain ruled, it is part of the UK. Is New York USA ruled?

In a more frightening sense, NI is ruled by a party who still thinks it’s 1690, who has no legislative power at present.
-
That’s a reasonable reflection of the DUP imo and maybe a worthwhile story for the NY Times.
-
Absolutely! I’d happily write it too. I think folk from NI can now reel off a massive list of scandals and abysmal behaviour from that lot. Basically, Trump with much more annoying accents

Then stop electing them

We don’t in the West Midlands

I’ve been at home for 2 general and 3 local elections. I have never once voted for the DUP. And why don’t you stop electing Tories?
-
Because they are the least worst of all the options

It’s sad that so many women are fighting to kill their unborn children.

"British-ruled Northern Ireland" makes as much sense as "US-ruled Texas"

It would've took you 1 minute to research the constitutional status of UK constituent countries. British ruled my arse.

A. NI is not “British ruled” it is a full part of the UK B. Abortion is & has been legal in most of the UK for a long time
