Seen this on the net. It was written in 1939. I think the fella that wrote it might have been a 'commie'. But 'commie' or no,he had a good grasp of the situation.

The nominal basis of the agitation, the fact which causes some to denominate Ireland an oppressed nation and others to call her a British colony, is the British occupation of six counties of Ulster. In the agitation of the nationalists, Ulster is represented as a child torn from its mother's bosom, longing to return, and thwarted only by superior force.

In actuality, two-thirds of the population of Ulster is Protestant and British. Far from desiring union with Ireland, the Ulstonians (or Orangemen) are fanatically anti-Irish, and are ready to resist Irish ‘reunification’ with gun in hand. The demand of the Irish that Britain withdraw her garrison from Ulster is not the demand for the self-determination of an oppressed people; it is a demand for a hunting license to shoot Protestants. The Irish are here fighting a wholly reactionary struggle against the principle of self-determination.

Not to my knowledge Slappa. I have seen Ulidians, and Ultonians used in a few letters in the papers. Ulida was the name the Romans referred to Ulster as. So I can understand the use of Ulidians in that sense. I don't know where Ultonians comes from. It is more or less the same as the Ulstonians that he uses except for the 's' I'll put the link up for that article. Hes a yank so maybe wouldnt be as 'genned in' as the Ullish people. But he does gave a good answer to another commie.

Anyway ''Ulster For The Ullish'' looks and sounds better.
