""If Britain decided tomorrow to expel us, she should remember what happened in 1912 when Britain sought to expel the whole of Ireland.
The people of Northern Ireland not only said, "We don't wish to go, they said, "We won't go." And it paid off. So there's a message there: that the people of Northern Ireland have it within their power to say "We won't go." And they took action in 1912-that reversed the British government's attitude."

Where does your "Home Rule Settled" fit into that?

"There was consensus on the Bill, which came after the Buck Ho. conference."
And where did "to partition or not to partition" fit in to that consensus?

Howe about this from your link
"Only an earthquake or general conversion could have settled the problem: and the sorrows of the conference were due to the fact that it was attempting to decide by Act of Parliament what could only be effected by ACT OF GOD'."
Are you a masochist - do you enjoy humiliating yourself in public?
