O, you mean "Victory!!!!". I think they're fairly rare events, generally. Besides, its not like they've gone away. All things in time.

Is'nt Jim Allister just trying to be Ian Paisley of the late 60s and 70s.

And Big Ian jumped on board in the end.

If Jim became the big noise (he is also following in Ians footsteps here) he would eventually do the same as big Ian.

So if Unionists want to rerun the Paisley saga, follow big Jim (well small Jim ) and it will be déja vu all over again.

26 counties in a Republic and only 6 being challenged within in the UK would not suggest that Unionism has been winning in Ireland.

The northern Ireland state has been going for a long time now, but the hour glass is running low, it hasnt ran smoothly for one day so far and it wont last forever.

Wrong. Most of them were of Irish stock - hence the music and dancing! (Not like Scottish Presbyterians at all).

Before the War of Independence a British parliamentarian complained that half the American populaton was Irish - and hence posed a danger to British rule.

You said that not me.

Dont put words in my mouth and then compare me to someone else.

Fianna Fail are about as republican as the DUP.
