Well let's see, William the Conqueror sent Norman knights and their armies to conquer Ireland in the 12th Century and it's been going downhill ever since; is that right? [Hence the Fitz's!]
As far as the partition of the north is concerned it was only allowed to happen because of a threat of armed insurrection by Paisley's hero Carter, backed up by a refusal of army officers based at the Curragh to enforce the referendum in which the majority of the Irish people voted for secession.
Now we have a return of the status quo, protestants [see Carter] threatening force of arms to destabilise the ongoing peace process in the Sick Counties.
Excuse me mate but can you move your legs so that I can get out, this is where I came in!
