Northern Ireland was invented 100 years ago with six of the nine counties of Ulster to ensure a Protestant unionist majority would rule the statelet forever, after 26 counties of Ireland gained home rule, and then independence from the British.
Today, Northern Ireland has a Catholic nationalist First Minister in Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill, and last week returned more nationalist MPs to Westminster than unionist for the first time since the creation of the state.
The weekend of the Twelfth of July has historically been seen as a display of Protestant supremacy in Northern Ireland, but now the celebrations feel different.
We went to Belfast to find out how the Protestant community feel about the changing landscape of their home.

These guys are incorrect. Articles 2 and 3 were removed from the Irish constitution long ago, so there is no territorial legal claim by ROI on NI. The choice is left to the people, by means of the border poll thanks to the GFA. That way GB can leave and say it wasn't our decision, you guys decided.

I'm also English and have lived in South Belfast for many years. When I first moved here for Uni back in the early 00s, the City was a ghost town by midday on the 11th July. I still remember, to this day, how Belfast just emptied in the space of about 30 mins. And then those huge bonfires and the sky turning black from burning rubber (they literally burned tyres on the bonnies back then). I've never had any trouble on the 12th itself, but I was once followed through Botanic Avenue on a late summer's night by a man calling me a "Fenian bitch". He was standing behind me in the queue for the 24 Hour Spar on Botanic and must have heard my Scouse accent and realised I'm English or whatever. But he still clearly decided I was a Fenian bitch and wanted to make sure I knew, I guess. Weird.

@@eph511 Northern Irish Loyalists are simply seen as expendable 'assets' to the Westminster cabal. It was, at least in the past, useful to have a Pro British presence in the 6 Counties that comprise Northern Ireland, but now that that need has effectively been exhausted, Northern Irish Unionists will simply be discarded, like yesterdays old newspapers ! I do honestly think that Unionists need to wake up and smell the coffee - Westminster has no further use for them and so they may eventually come to realise how the English (in the main), treated the indigenous Catholics of the island of Ireland, and hopefully reappraise their relationship with Westminster. From my own point of view, it's very much a toxic, one sided affair, and as with an actual male/female relationship that isn't working out, it's probably for the best if Northern Ireland and Westminster went their seperate ways. In the long run, I think that will eventually happen.

The National flag of Ireland represents the Catholic & the Protestants living together in peace. Let's not forget that the Nationalist movement was started by 2 Protestants. If you believe in a REAL DEMOCRACY then you have to admit that the Protestants are a minority & that one day the majority will have its say. The Protestant power structure seem to want to go back to how it was, them in power treating the Catholics like 2nd class citizens. Why don't you want to get along to make a better future. I grew up hearing both sides of the story. I'm first gen my parents our from both sides. My father was from Limerick City & I have fam from Galway & Dublin. My Mothers side are from Cooks Town in the north. I heard the hatred my Nan had for "Finnian Bastards" or my Grandad who was a member of the IRB & fought in the war slating the English. I wasn't christened because of it! Originally it had very little to do with religion it was a power grab plain & simple. King William wouldn't of won if it wasn't for the Pope backing him with money & troops. He wasn't even English FFS! It the poor that paid the price. There need to be a new peace treaty that starts from the bottom up with the treaty at the moment its from the top down. What ever the religion we all should be treated equal. Pinening for a unequal past won't solve anything, if one day a majority of ppl vote for unification then so be it, that's democracy.

Perception matters more. You can tell me it represents the IRA and you'd be probably telling me the truth, but when I look at that my first thought is "it's the Irish flag, they're burning the Irish flag". And it's not like I'm on either side, I'm not British, I'm not Catholic or Protestant. My perception is unionists are the ones who still promote conflict and hate over there, similar to those US rednecks who want another go at the Civil War, who still can't get over the fact they lost 160 years ago or that they were fighting in the name of slavery. Some things are better left in the past for healing to occur.

What's funny is, the original invasion was by William the Bastard, the man whose army beat King Harold at Battle. William was a Norman, the Norse who settled in France & who Normandy was named after. So it was actually a Norman, French King, who had invaded England, who invaded Ireland. The Normans ruled England for over 300 years, followed by the Plantagenetes, led by the Dutch, which led to various wars until the mid 1400's. In the midst of the previous and following years, there were a number of attempts to kill the King, which (surprisingly for the time -sarcasm-) were dealt with harshly. The following half century wasn't exactly easy for most people. I wish people bearing grudges would investigate WHO, EXACTLY, was responsible. But it's too easy to whine.

People should bone up on the history of the 6 Counties of Northern Ireland. It became a Protestant stronghold during an era known as the Ulster Plantation, where both English and Scottish people were 'imported' to that area, to establish a pro British presence, whilst the indigenous Catholic population effectively got side lined and treated as second class citizens. The decendants of those original settlers, all Protestant, have been loyal (hence the term 'Loyalists'), to the British Crown for hundreds of years but still the English use the Protestants as a Political football, even using their vote to ensure a Conservative Government once again reigned in the Houses of Parliament. But still they get treated with disdain and are even considered an embarrassment by the British Political Establishment. That's all the thanks they get for supporting the British Crown all these years - they're essentially considered a nusience and as such, are effectively expendable !

I'm from Sydney Australia, have lived in Northern Ireland for over 10 years and I feel 10 times safer in this country than I do back home. It's a paradox that given the recent history of this country how safe and civil people are over here. There is a real sense of community, the people are very polite and want to avoid any conflict. That being said, I do think it will eventually be a united Ireland. Once there is going to be a vote it will be united. Hopefully that will be a slow process and will be done in many stages.

How could they when a child born in either a loyalist or nationalist working class council estate may never meet someone from another faith until they’re in Post18 education or employment?! The brain drain in NI is real because those of us who got out realised that going back to that time warp probably wasn’t ideal for our career prospects or indeed for bringing up kids.

All Coloniser cultures are like that, they need this imagined belief there is a home country that is thinking fondly of them every day. You should read about Australia in the latter half of the last century as described by English (and vice versa) people, they were considered freaks for how obsessed they were about the flag and the anthem by the English and the Aussies were apoplectic about the lack of patriotism. Colonisers can't survive their own situation without an absolute certainty they are superior to all other people with magical sperm they have to protect from the rest of the world. If they don't then they just stop with their bullshit fake culture and act like normal human beings.

I do think the Catholic community were very wrongly treated in the past, and I´m not against reunification, there is a decent case for it. In NI, I would probably be a "swing voter" on that one. What I do hate is the lack of respect some people have for each other, and yes a lot of protestants have a lack of respect for the Catholics, i.e I remember a DUP minister mocking the Gaelic language in parliament. But you get it on the other side too, you get Catholics who say "Ulster Scots isn´t a language" and seem to think the protestants have no place in NI. To be clear, I think the bigotry is worse on the Protestant side, after all, there was an apartheid state, but it does exist on the Catholic side too. People need to remember that the orange in the Irish tricolour is to represent the Protestants. Indeed, people who want Irish reunification should highlight that the protestants have nothing to fear about at all, the Church of Ireland is fully operational in the South, the Protestants in the Republic have their own schools, churches etc, they literally have nothing to fear whatsoever.

Because the living standard differences between the north and republic are vast. The Republic of Ireland has one of the highest GDP’s per capita in the world - its rich. Northern Ireland is the poorest region of the uk - by some distance (although parts of wales and north east England are very deprived as well). A unified Ireland would likely result in a decline in public spending availability- certainly for a decade or two - in the republic, but would quite rapidly improve the north of Ireland in as short as 5 years.

@@hmu05366 That argument doesn't consider that RoI has a high work force demand and immigration to fill those jobs.

The economic offset wouldn't be as severe as some models have suggested when compared to those that take these factors into account.

Have you ever actually done a cost breakdown and impact of how switching from the UK to Ireland would cost or benefit the Northerners? For example: Pension payments. Income tax. Healthcare costs. Grocery bills. House prices and availability. Car prices. Are we to be compensated for the all of the above or will the magic money trees just start growing in our backyards? I have done the analysis for my own personal situation and I will be £4500 worse off per year. Everyones circumstance is different, obviously. Some my benefit, for some there will be no change and for others it will be costly. Your stupid statement about living standard differences being vast is utter crap.

Far from Befast and the conflict in Northern Ireland, this holiday looks strange and incomprehensible. There were many conflicts in the EU countries, but almost no one celebrates, for example, "the burning of Joanna Darc" "the British defeat at Dunkirk" The Danish Vikings do not participate in parades commemorating the defeat of the British ancestors. The tribes of Angles and Saxons came from today's Denmark and could celebrate the conquest of the British Isles . There are many such historical occasions to celebrate in Europe. Economically, the Republic of Ireland could buy all of Belfast, but is waiting for reason or economics to force Northern Ireland to unite the entire island.
