Скачать или смотреть Stage Play or Real Politics? Declassified Docs Reveal Northern Ireland’s Secret Alliances"

This collection of declassified documents offers a revealing look behind the curtain of Northern Ireland’s political history, exposing the vast differences between public personas and private maneuvers during the early 2000s. The text highlights how prominent figures engaged in clandestine meetings and secret backchannels—such as the hidden dialogue between the DUP and Sinn Féin—while maintaining a facade of mutual hostility to the public. Beyond party politics, the records detail a struggle for institutional influence regarding House of Lords appointments and reveal how the government actively manipulated official information and infrastructure policy. Ultimately, the source serves as a historical correction, using the analogy of a stage play to show that while the public saw a scripted performance, the real story was defined by the secret alliances and strategic deceptions occurring in the wings.
