Plenty of fields they can go to beat their drums and leave the rest of us in peace. Like I've always said, If you want to march will you do it naked?

Im aware of that of course and should of mentioned that.<br /><br />What sickens me really is that Loyalism gets such a bad wrap and are ignored by the senior political unionists.

I see no widespread oppression of Catholicism and indeed it appears from the numbers alone that Catholics must be voting for unionist party's?

Untangling and coming to terms with our long and difficult history is challenging. You're making a fair fist of it in this piece. Well done on acknowledging the inevitability of partition even before the Rising. Realists can't avoid that nor can they dismiss the fears of Unionism.
