This clip from NewstalkFM from 14 July has gone viral, with almost 1 million views on Twitter alone.

This piece includes a prescient warning from the poet and writer Nick Laird (who I had the pleasure of meeting a few years ago for a BBC radio programme he was working on) about the danger of identity politics – "the rest of the world has turned into Northern Ireland".
