It’s undoubtedly a significant milestone and another body blow for unionism which has made blunder after blunder for the past six years.
The big question for unionism now is how much is it willing to change in order to protect the union. Because they way theyve been acting for the past decade has just pushed more and more on-the-fence/agnostic people towards reunification.
If they had any sense they’d have accepted the first Brexit deal, accepted an Irish Language Act and taken the fire out of the drive for unity. Instead they pushed everyone into a corner where they had to make a call on reunification.
Are they even capable of change? And if they are, is it already too late?

“Protestant Genocide!!!”
I just know that map is going to be on loyalist whatsapp with some similar title in the near future.
Holy fuck, the catholics have taken over the lough.
Os that religious war thing still a thing in Ireland? (I am not from Ireland)
I thought people have outgrown that by now.
Edit: ok, I get downvoted a lot. But maybe someone explains the current state of this conflict?
The people up there weren’t British then and aren’t British now
As someone who doesn’t know much about history, browsing wikipedia is interesting.
I wish I could understand it all and take it all in.
One thing I don’t get is that it says Ulster was the most resistant to the English but turned out to be the most British. Is it because after the 9 years war the Irish landowners fled and the brits took it all and planted protestants?
The other 3 provinces were less resistant but they still had anti english sentiment right and slowly over time became more anti english as time went on ?
Looks like Ireland got a smack from Scotland and was left black and blue
Some unionist accounts are tweeting hard. There’s no difference between a kid on helium, and Jamie Bryson opening his mouth.
The border should move to the phallic part of Down
But do they want to give up their free healthcare, free shipping from UK sellers and switch to a weaker currency?
>The UDA’s intentions for the Catholic population left in their new, truncated, Northern Ireland were sinister. The Catholic population left on the ‘Protestant’ side of the Orange Line was to be “expelled, nullified or interned”. ‘Nullification’ was a euphemism for massacre. Those ‘interned’ were to be used, effectively, as hostages or ‘useful bargaining chips’ in possible negotiations.

And I don’t think it will have changed substantially since then. Less red but otherwise still large Protestant majority in the Craigavon-Lisburn-Banbridge triangle and east Derry

Scott Moore is a nationalist from a protestant family and is against repartition, but we’re going to hear genuine calls for repartition in the upcoming years and that notion needs to be immediately shut down. We can’t let history repeat itself and the more reactionary & supremacist elements of unionism can’t be rewarded. They’re such loyal and proud Ulstermen they would mutilate Ulster all over again.
Those protestants were just resting in my account…
Pushing the protestants whence they came
make Ireland great again.
WAIT, this slogan doesn’t sound good
Watching Jamie Bryson lose his marbles on Twitter has been amusing but by Christ I feel bad for normal people in the North who are definitely going to have to put up with heightened madness.
We did it lads. We out fucked the British.
To be fair I know a fair few catholics from the North who wouldn’t vote for a united ireland. Most of them generally cite the NHS as being the reason they stay.

Not a bad idea. Give the unionists a reservation.
Yis are snookered now, so yis are
The plantations have been ploughed
A lot different to UDA’s “Doomsday” 1994 plan for repartition (approved of by Sammy Wilson) [http://ulstersdoomed.blogspot.com/2009/06/partition-and-repartition-part-4-udas.html](http://ulstersdoomed.blogspot.com/2009/06/partition-and-repartition-part-4-udas.html)

Curious as to what data was used for this. The 2011 census has very localized data [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Northern_Ireland_–_religion_or_religion_brought_up_in_%28Christianity%3B_2011%29.png](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Northern_Ireland_–_religion_or_religion_brought_up_in_%28Christianity%3B_2011%29.png)
