'Most Catholics want to stay in UK' says Northern Ireland's First Minister

I love the way Unionists continually feel the need to comment on the security of the Union. And to an extent it may be true , for now... One day, maybe not in Peters day, it'll collapse. They know it, we know it. A house with a foundation built on quicksand will only stay right for so long. And thats what 'Northern Ireland' is. As long as there is a significant minority who wish to wish it ended , that quicksand will always remain. It will never , ever disappear. Remember Peter ( and other Unionists ) , you have to be right 365 days a year , for the rest of NI's existance. We only have to be right once , and then its all over. And we will be right.

Youngpike What has your comment to do with the above story Happy for you enjoying the Uk but pls read there papers as from last month Police in the Uk told reporters that between 50,000 to 60.000 people are trading pictures in child abuse also a young 11 year Girl was raped on her way home from school last friday very sicking and sad .as for the UK been enlightened and compassionate place from what i read NOT A HOPE .

Well done Peter I had hoped for a conversion sooner than later but it will come The United ireland will arrive and Peter is making the road acceptable No suppression or invasion can alter the intrinsic difference between the irish of Celtic origins and those who are sprung from the loins of aggressors and settlers. Its only in the English language that the word settler seems to have a sense Try it from the angle of those whose land was usurped and from those whose vision of the horizon was clipped by the turrets of Carrick or Enniskillen . I advocate a return to history before the occupation ,we have just about enough history to complete several Cartas. Trouble once again seems to be that intermixing of blood links has even made those who play the Irish tattoo as collaborators in this Peter Robinson charade . My belief is that Robinson doesn't believe it either and can't wait to get back to the golf course in Florida and to hell with this load of Irish cobblers Adieu

Even in the dark days of the Troubles the majority of 6 county catholics would have voted to stay in the UK. FACT!!

The probable secession of Scotland from the so called "union" in 2014 will throw the proverbial constitutional cat among the pigeons and the smug smirk may is currently on Robinson's lips may be wiped off by then.

Righhhtt ! Just like the Zulus & the Bengalis & the Aboriginies & the Maoris & etc., etc. all wrapped themselves in the Union Jack out of patriotic ferver to an uninvited invading & assumingly entitled & enlightened dominion.

Being as like Palestinians - forever the whipping boy of Barbarian Saxons - this 864 of an England creation. Makes sense to gutless Celts who crave the House of Hanover medals ala McIlroy's MBE and Clarke's OBE. Geldorf, Tony O'Reilly - Danny O'Donnell etc...

I live in England and have done for many years. I prefer it to Ireland, which has a problem with paedophilia and organised crime. The UK is a far more enlightened and compassionate place!

No need for a referendum. The People have already spoken. Lead on, Peter. You've got this Spot On!

I have always cherished the idea of seeing the homeland Reunited, as it had been for 7½ centuries of English rule. But I can easily understand why many Irish Catholics living north of the artificial Partition are in no great hurry to be ruled by the Dáil crowd, many of whom prefer immigrants from the Third World to those in the North who firmly cling to the native culture.

Of course he would say that..he is a Unionist!
