  1. Demographics are destiny.

    Hopefully we will see end of northen Ireland soon.

    Probably within next 20 years.

    Then will be slow march to England becoming majority Muslim.

    Maybe we can import as many Hindus as possible to help balance it out or something.

    Zero chance we increase the native birth rate so atm its inevitable.

  2. Catholics outbreeding Prods was an inevitability.

    More interesting are the changes in identity against the 2011 census:

    National Identity:

    British only: 31.9% (-8.0)
    Irish only: 29.1% (+3.8)
    Northern Irish only: 19.8% (-1.1)
    British & Northern Irish: 8.0% (+1.8)
    Irish and Northern Irish: 1.8% (+0.5)
    Other: 10.0% (+3.4)

    I can feel the border poll getting closer.

  3. Why are we still trying to divide people by placing them into sectarian boxes? Religion is a private matter and mostly irrelevant in public life these days.

  4. Raised a Catholic, am an atheist. Would never vote to be part of Ireland or separated from the UK.

    As bad as UK politicians are, giving NI politicians more power or allowing politicians down south to have more power sounds infinitely worse. They are just fruitcakes, more so than the UK politicians anyway…this is to say nothing of the violence that would follow.
