@ Lostit : back in the mid 1980s I remember a Northern Ireland nationalist telling me that the nationalists had but only to play the long game with regard to Irish unification. What did he mean? Well, as he pointed out to me with a smile - as a general rule Catholics have more children than Protestants. Thus over a period of time......... @ All - info here ...
