npub1mmfwxp0jkw6un7hf75k0p8kpemm4smau2c4m8ea2w7r7v52lhjusx4eknq (npub1mmf…eknq)  you are absolutely right. I was vaguely aware of the problems, but had squirrelled it away mentally under the same heading as Northern Ireland.
I now realise this is not the same as Northern Ireland. It is far far more serious. The British government did not respond to bombings in London and Birmingham by carpet bombing Belfast.
So yes, they have let the genie out the bottle. And it will not go back.
