Yeah imagine being in the North heh..heh

Yeah, you know what would be even crazier? If the Catholic state with the more strategic ports and international sympathy overtook the smaller North which is controlled by a former Empire. Wouldn’t that be just shocking? /s
As a non-religious person, I suddenly feel really Catholic right now
That look when even Lady Londonderry thinks you’ve gone “gaga”.
TBF I don’t think we have Catholicism to thank.

In fairness, the whole Catholic part of Catholic state worked out kind of horrendously.

I think we would have been more impressed at the results had either launched a secular state.
While I do find the quote to be funny, it’s frustrating reading the many “Look at the big Protestant head on him” comments.
I doubt it projects an air of welcome to our unionist brethren, there’s no need.
I hope for his mother’s sake he was born by cesarean. The poor woman.
Southern state wins. Admittedly, it took us a while to get there.
He even looks like an Ol’ Bastard.

You lose. Lol.
Well, we needed to drop the ‘Catholic’ bit to be successful
Craig was an absolute bigot of the worst order. British Government and senior civil servants who Craig hired to build NI’s administrative structures repeatedly warned him not to marginalise the Catholic minority in NI. He ignored them.
He rejected one man, one vote. Armed a Protestant militia; The Special Constabulary (drawn almost exclusively from the Orange Order) which he used to murder and ethnically cleanse mixed areas of Catholics, and it was rhetoric from him and Carson (along the the Newsletter) which led to the Shipyard Clearances where as many 7-10,000 Catholics and “rotten prods” were beaten and chased from the Belfast shipyards and thousands more were savagely beaten and chased from factories and highly skilled jobs all across NI, despite employers begging mobs to stop them.
Addressing crowds at the shipyard after the clearances Craig said *”‘Do I approve of the action you boys have taken in the past? I say “Yes”’.*
*”I suppose I am about as high up in the Orange Institution as anybody else. I am very proud indeed to be Grand Master of the loyal County of Down. I have filled that office many years, and I prize that far more than I do being Prime Minister. I have always said I am an Orangeman first and a politician and Member of this Parliament afterwards”*
​
*”When I made that declaration last twelfth I did so after careful consideration. What I said was justified. I recommended people not to employ Roman Catholics, who were 99 per cent disloyal.”*
*Sir Basil Brooke,*
Craig’s reply to the above statement by Sir Basil Brooke (also a Prime Minister of NI-
*”The hon. Member for South Fermanagh (Mr. Healy) has raised the question of what is the Government’s policy [in relation to the employment of Catholics]. My right hon. Friend (Sir Basil Brooke) spoke [on 12 July 1933 and 19 March 1934] as a Member of His Majesty’s Government. He spoke entirely on his own when he made the speech to which the hon. Member refers, but there is not one of my colleagues who does not entirely agree with him, and I would not ask him to withdraw one word he said.”*
*Sir James Craig, Unionist Party, then Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, 20 March 1934*
​
During the entire 50 year history of the NI parliament there were only 3 MPs who were not also members of the Orange Order.
Was he overstuffed by a bad taxidermist?
Look at his big inbred head
Here’s an idea, maybe don’t define a nation state by religion.
Oh, sorry, religion and its associated virtue signalling is literally all you know. Carry on then
The absolute head on him
Look at the poxy inbred head on the gimp!
well, as you can see, northern ireland failed and is a welfare state dependent on londons funding, a far cry from the factory of ireland. truth is ireland adapted to the future, we used tech, pharma and other modern industries to push our economy. whereas ni stagnated, it because a cheap factory location with no innovation, basically dependent on the uk subsidizing its industries
