Re: News from the 'Border'
I think the UK spokesperson was a bit long winded. He should simply have said “The protocol was an agreement entered into by Mr Johnson. He obviously did not intend for England to live up to it.”

More Catholics than Protestants for first time in Northern Ireland Census
https://www.rte.ie/news/2022/0922/13247 ... nd-census/
The proportion of the population who defined themselves as 'British only' is 31.9%.
It's even more complicated.

Re: News from the 'Border'
In the old days you couldn't get a well-paid job or any job at H&W if you were a Catholic (unless you worked as a painter and you were lynched just before retirement, was standard protocol). So they went to university (big UK grants), teaching, nursing etc.
We always wondered where the Northeners at TCD got all that dough.
RIP H&W.

Re: News from the 'Border'
It seems to be a Belfast ship builder. And, as I’m sure the very funny late Dave Allen would have endorsed, do you mean a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist?
Re: News from the 'Border'
Cuch is certainly a Catholic atheist but the question remains: whom does he hate more? What is stronger: tribal identity of belief?
