Very few people are aware Dave, that Brookeborough's line is still the mindset of the Unionists "....as it pertained to 'Northern Irish' public opinion, and I'm afraid, that was the day to day reality for us." (if you want to quote me, it's handy to quote the context as well....)

Because it is always the Nationalists who seem to be under pressure all the time to hand in their weapons, from here and in Britain, the British public either wittingly or unwittingly buy into the same argument...., and ideology.

That's why it's handy to know the situation.

They (The Unionists) do not want to share power with us, Full Stop.
The more they are put under pressure to show their blatant sectarianism, the better the chances are of the Jeremy Paxman's of this world nailing them to the floorboards.

Just like they used to to to us.

Literally.
