Irish majority in Ulster & NI - British now a minority in NI

Sceala Philosopher Location: Melbourne

When Westminster wanted to show a much lower number of Irish people in Britain,they made their own census question on Irish identity, purposely vague and confusing.

When Westminster started to realize that a Irish majority was coming to their Colonial gerrymandered statelet in Ireland.
Westminster and their unionist patsy introduced a new question into the Census. This was a vain attempt to try and delay the inevitable Irish majority.
Before it was Irish or British, so the schemers in Westminster added another vague geographical question of identity into the mix, to purposely confuse census matters.
Knowing full well that their cynical question would give them a possible way of showing a lower Irish figure than reality. Unionists are now trying to claim in their dreams that Irish people now consider themselves British.

The simple con can be shown as false when one looks at the Republic of Ireland.
While there is no such nationality as Southern Irish, many people say that they are Southern Irish.
Make no mistake - most Southern Irish are still Irish and the vast majority do not and never have considered themselves as British, Most want a Ireland free of undemocratic British interference.
Donegal is the most Northern county of Ireland, but it is in the South, starting to see the word confusion here!
Cavan and Monaghan and Donegal are all Ulster, Donegal was the beating heart of Ancient Ulster. None of these parts of Ulster have ever been part of the Colonial statelet of NI.

This is the original Ulster symbol and it is Irish.

The Red Hand of Ulster is a symbol derived from the Irish O'Neill dynasty who were historic Irish monarchs of the Irish provincial kingdom of Ulster.

There are no official or internationally recognized nationalities such as Southern Irish or Northern Irish.
Just Irish or British.

Southern and Northern are just confusing geographical terms, that many people express in a literal sense.
Politics or credible meaning has seldom ever had anything to do with those labels.

The Belfast flag riots are linked to the British minority and Irish majority
The world knows that extreme Loyalists are linked to the far right, The National Front the Nazi Front. The British National Party and other extreme far right wing.
British Loyalists have never been interested in democracy, they created their statelet by terrorism and gerrymander. That statelet is not and never has been Ulster as they falsely try to claim by repeating lies.
That lie was another Westminster inspired Loyalist word game.

The British extremists Loyalist rioters
Only hypocritical pond life would even dream of inventing any excusing for the rioters in Belfast, or attempt to blame it on anyone else but the same extremists, those far right extreme British nationalists loyalists.

The recent census highlights why these extreme British nationalists called loyalists are really angry, as thick as they often are, they can still sense it is over.
The days of any advantages for any British minority are over. The undemocratic terrorist origin and gerrymandered the Northern State is now producing its next generation which is a clear Irish majority.

Here is a great repost that explains the details about the Census returns.

Several days ago I posted some thoughts on the first round of figures released from the top-level results of the 2011 Census of “the north of Ireland”. The headline news was the linked revelation that those who declared they were of a Protestant background and those who identified as British now made up less than half the population of the north-east of the country. Considering the sectarian and ethno-nationalist origins of the British-imposed partition of the island of Ireland and the creation of the apartheid-state of “the north of Ireland” this was something of a political earthquake, the ramifications of which are now being played out in northern politics.

At the time I made some quick calculations in relation to the numbers released, not to be taken too seriously, and came up with a suggestion for the overall figures on national identity in the North:

2011 Census Result – An Aggregate Of National Identities?:

47.74% = British (British and Northern Irish/Irish)

Interestingly the 2011 election to the regional assembly in the north gave the following result (from Wikipedia):

First Preference Votes in NI:

29.3% = DUP

26.3% = Sinn Féin

13.9% = SDLP

12.9% = UUP

7.7% = APNI

2.4% = TUV

0.9% = Green

0.8% = PBP

0.6% = UKIP

0.2% = PUP

0.2% = BNP

0.2% = WP

0.1% = SP

2.3% = Independents

A Suggested Aggregate Of Voters:

42.2% = Irish Nationalist (SF/SDLP/Green/PBP/WP/SP)

53.3% = British Unionist (DUP/UUP/APNI/TUV/UKIP/PUP/BNP)

2.3% = Independents

2.2% = Other

Now Colm Ó Broin in Gaelscéal has done a far more detailed analysis and arrived at the following conclusions (via Slugger O’Toole):

“One of the most interesting results of the census published last week was the number of people describing themselves as ‘Northern Irish’.

Based on analysis done by Gaelscéal, it seems that most of them are from a Catholic background and that they vote for Irish nationalist parties.

If you add the number of people who said they were British under the various headings, the total is almost identical to the number of Protestants.

The number of Catholics is also similar to the number of people who said they were Irish only, Northern Irish only or Irish and Northern Irish only.

There is also a strong correlation between the number of Catholics, Irish and Northern Irish and the nationalist vote.

So then, why are people who vote for United Ireland parties describing themselves as ‘Northern Irish’?

According to Belfast SDLP Councillor, Colin Keenan, ‘Northern Irish’ is a geographical term, not a political statement.

“In terms of people I speak to they don’t see a big difference between Irish and Northern Irish, it’s a subcategory of Irish."

A Sinn Féin constituency office worker told Gaelscéal that she and many others in her town would call themselves Northern Irish.

The views on the Republic are of particular interest given the survey published by the Irish Times recently showing that 88% of people (excluding don’t knows) support a United Ireland, and that 77% would vote for unity even if they had to pay more tax to fund it.”

Ulster has always been Irish. The real 9 Counties that make up the Irish Province have always had a Irish majority.
Even the gerrymandered UVF terrorist creation of a 6 county statelet NI, that the loyalists minority tried to pretend and present as Ulster, even that is now Irish.
