[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 7393764, member: 3656"] Interestingly, the Celts arrived in Ireland and pushed the settled Britons north and east. So there's no point in talking about who should own what and who was here first. As it ever has been since the dawn of time, you have what you hold and successfully defend. The first part in Joe's post about internal gerrymandering in Northern Ireland is mostly Billhooks. In large part, any effect was caused by the electoral system of local government throughout the UK at the time favouring rate payers. If it appeared to penalise a particular religious or ethnic group, that effect was merely coincidental. But it's always a nice one to use for political ends, and to poison and perpetuate the feeling of bitterness in each new Irish/catholic generation against their similarly ex-tenant Unionist neighbours. Remember that Jeffrey isn't the bellowing NO type. He doesn't have that DUP history behind him. [/QUOTE]
