McGrath: Do you honestly think for one moment that the Unionists want a "really" independent state of Nothern Ireland (or whatever they might want to call it.) If independent of Mother England think of all that lovely money no longer flowing into the pockets of the residents. No! in my humble opinion, they want the "good old days" of Brookeborough when the "croppies" knew their place and there was no such thing as power-sharing or other new fangled ideas.
