Tbh just like a lot of Afrikaners emigrated when Apartheid ended in SA, I genuinely believe a lot of Unionists will emigrate to Scotland (if they aren't already an independent country) or England.

The thought of thousands of those degenerates turning up on the streets of London (fleg in hand) is enough for the UK to keep the North!

Eventually generation and populist shifts will see a strong catholic population. Anyone with half a brain can see the tide is turning and the game is up for Unionist domination. The Loyalist community are petrified of it and events like the fleg coming down just help to feed that fear.

The point above about Belfast turning more "Irish" is a very good one. This has been happening steadily for the last couple of years.

I understand the anthem thing but they can fck off if they think the flag will be changing, the orange was included to incorporate them in the first place but they chose to wrap themselves in the butchers apron instead.

If a United Ireland was ever achieved, does anyone see mass emigration of those who would class themselves as British?

I suppose it's fairly possible they would return home to Scotland and England

Here's a crowd of people in Enniskillen. People from very near Sligo, Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan. This crowd would demand a flag change if they became part of a Republic.

Do you reckon it would be the dregs of their society to run away home or remain here causing trouble.?

Of course some would return home to Scotland but to be honest I'd say a large chunk of their dregs would stay and cause an awful lot of trouble. Thousands took to the street on Saturday to protest about their beloved Union flag. What would they do if they became part of the Republic? I'd be wary that they'd bring that trouble to Dublin.

Think the dole is 56 quid a week. It might be more for over 25's but they might have done away with that.
Not 100% sure

They live in areas such as this. We'd have to fund people like that.

look harmless enough folks if a bit gormless.

Send the hardcore loyalists to somewhere orange friendly and mind numbingly dull like Ayrshire, Larkhall, Corby or Blackpool. 

Wouldnt wish the more backward lot on any fun city in the UK

Jesus if you went from that to €188 a week it'd be like winning the lotto LOL
