Ulster’s 100th Birthday?
Happy Birthday, Ulster.
Sounds a bit odd?
It’s 100 years since the entity of Northern Ireland was promulgated,
…but the Ulster nation has been around a lot longer than that.
A good little history – don’t know if it’s still available
.
Since the time of the Cruthin, arguably.
But although Ulster’s borders have shifted from time to time, Ulster’s identity has not.
Like Scotland, England and Wales, Ulster is a distinct British nation.
However, France24’s news today, lunchtime in Jakarta, reminded us of significant demographic changes.
Over-breeding by disloyals means that the true Brit majority has been eroded.
It’s facile to equate Protestant with unionist and Catholic with disloyal. There are of course Catholics understand their duty to Queen and Country, while undoubtedly some Protestants are traitors.
No matter! It has to be recognised that the Ulster nation’s right to a homeland – free from the shadow of the Eire flag – is by no means secure.
Again, I urge the good people protesting against EUSSR meddling and Westminster weaselling…
.
…to consider the merits of re-partition.
But sadly, Eire still refuses to accord the Ulster nation that same right to self-determination which they got for themselves.
In Dublin, only last week, the ‘Taioseach’ – in other words, their PM – again asserted, with sublime arrogance, that he favoured a ‘United Ireland. ‘
How dare he!
If Eire had any other smaller neighbours, would Micheal Martin and his kind make similar expansionist declarations of that sort?
I think not.
It’s only Ulster which animates their atavistic, irrational, aggressive urges.
