The inevitability of a Roman Catholic numerical majority in Northern Ireland within the next thirty years is quite evident, but that doesn't necessarily signify that they want to be Irish, maybe they want just to be Northern Irish. The one thing I recognise within the Catholic community is their resolve to progress, succeed and make their lives better. The Catholic Community as a whole portray themselves as a confident and well educated society focused on successful future. Whereas the Unionists seem to portray themselves as an uneducated, regressive, anxious and a vitriolic society especially towards Roman Catholics as is quite evident above. Unionists why not stay in school, acquire higher level education degrees and then you will understand that the U.K in general doesn't want you, we don't want you, we don't want to give you anymore of our tax money.

As a person from northern Ireland it is a lot more complicated, the DUP have been in power for years, now on paper I would say I'm prodesant if I am going for a job, otherwise I am non religious.

Not everyone wants the same and that's fine, but I hate bonfires because to me that's not what the 11th or 12th are about, it has come a hateful and fear mongering place that disgusts and I am part of that community.

As an young Irish person living in the North of Ireland, this hatred terrifies me. I fear for my safety a lot of the time because the hatred is so strong. Seeing it is frightening but living in it is a nightmare. Innocent lives were lost on both sides, it is not a one sided thing.

[@jazzx251]

I would move to the Republic as soon as you can - they're not the same country at all as when "the troubles" were on. Full blown respectable EU country with a gay prime minister and human rights all over the place. You need to get out of the Northen Irish time machine as soon as you can.

Well I think it's true from watching various clips of her in the past, Don't forget politics is a game of division and governments is nothing more than a glorified bully.. ie.. Don't pay your taxes/TV licence etc... they threaten you with fines and jail time, There is always a threat of something if you don't comply to their decrees 🙄 Easy for them to say stay at home for the last year they had 3 years practice before that.. All they are good at is squandering taxpayers hard earned and coming up with new rules and regulations. The future of the North isn't green or orange its brown I come to this conclusion through basic maths of birth rates.. Sadly😔while we bicker among ourselves they will continue to break whatever social cohesion we have left.

[@NornIronMan5]

@@What..a..shambles no, Arlene has a hatred and distrust of the Provos aka Sinn Fein and the PIRA. Many, many Catholics would be offended at being lumped in with them. Plus there's a surprising number of Catholic Unionists too. You obviously have no real idea about Northern Ireland's people.

Born in England here. My experience tells me most people in the mainland don't really give a shit about union supporters in NI.

Loyalists will sit and compare the republic of Ireland to a terrorist state and call the IRA terrorists (which they were) yet completely fail to recognise the atrocities that the British army committed and the murders done by loyalists terrorist groups. They will fail to recognise the troubles very much began due to unionist parties oppressing Irish Catholics. Denying them the right to vote, the right to housing, discriminating against them in regards to job hiring in the 1960’s etc and that’s not to mention the 800 years prior to that where Britain murdered, stole, starved, oppressed Irish people in their own land. The troubles and the conflict here isn’t one sided. Loyalists are just as guilty of murder and hate

[@seanmagee5669]

[@nicel-safty9301]

100% right mate. They’ve done more to damage Britain than anyone during the last 12 years, austerity doesn’t discriminate against religion, but it does again class. In the end it’s not about religion. Terrorism never really is, it’s just a very convenient excuse for people. Like al-quieda/isis are dangerous terrorists. But most Muslims agree and are furious they were treated differently (mainly after 9/11 and 7/7), the IRA were terrorist but most Catholic people are against that sort of violence. I have grandparents of both religions, both have been discriminated against due to religion and both are peaceful, law abiding indidividuals and some of the nicest most loving people you will ever meet. Terrorism, is terrorism plain and simple. It’s a convenient excuse to blame it on a religion. Any religion. There are bad people in all countries, in all nations, in every corner of life, but they shouldn’t use religion as a driver as it causes issues to innocent religious people who just wish to believe and worship. An I’m an atheist, so to me again as long as it isn’t put on me. That poor young girl, I mean I’m not LGBT+ but I am a supporter an my best friend is etc as are many of my friends, colleagues etc. It’s not about religion, these people are born like it. Many religious people are LGBT themselves. Live and let live, love and let love. As far as I’m concerned, as long as nobody is pushing their beliefs onto me I’m more than happy if they want to be an adult and still believe in Santa tbh!

In my village, the bonfire isn't really a political thing, more of a social event... The bonfire is about a 3rd of the size that most people showed and people will either pitch in to buy wood for it, or just dump old furniture that they no longer want... There's no political posters, no flag burning... Just really a yearly tradition and an excuse to drink a bit and bump into some old friends from school you haven't talked to since last year, the original meaning is kinda lost now, at least where I'm from... I'm not really sure what party I'll vote for... I agree with Sinn Fein's policies, and don't have anything against people from Ireland, I'm very open-minded and a lot of what these people say is a bit... "Yikes" to me, but I also like being British and my mum was nearly killed in the troubles herself...

That's a thoughtful comment. In the South nobody cares what denomination anyone is. Religion is dying out (thank god!). Alot of the Dublin middle & professional class are of Protestant backgrounds. The Protestant population woul still be a politically influential minority all Ireland wise. The majority of NI Protestants & moderate Unionists, a United Ireland would not take much adjustment. Anyone willing to take part is welcome, I mean the flag the lads are burning has as much orange as green. What is to be feared so much? You already have the right to Irish citizenship. You could maintain British citizenship if wanted... Even carry an old £5 in the pocket for a portrait of Lizzy 😉. It'll be grand shur! I lived in London for many years & most actual Brits (born in GB) have zero understanding & even less interest in the partition or history of Ireland, don't expect much long term enthusiasm for NI from Westminster. The bigots & flag burners would be better off heading to Scotland & getting on the electoral roll over there to try salvage the Union before it's completely disappeared.
