The Great Divide - Numberism Anthony McIntyre 28/02/2002 A fortnight after they first appeared a brace of articles in The Independent (11th February) by David McKittrick remain the subject of debate and speculation, claim and rebuttal. Today's Andersonstown News, for example, ran an article by Gearoid O Caireallain titled 'Countdown to a United Ireland' which could almost be recited to the moronic tuneless football chant, 'one-nil, one-nil'. With a barely concealed glee that resembled sectarian triumphalism the author of this piece informed his readers that: There is going to be a United Ireland, whether Unionists like it or not [sigma] Catholics will soon be in a majority position in the North and they will vote for a United Ireland at the earliest opportunity. And there is no point trying to bluff us off by saying that many Catholics don't actually want a United Ireland. Come the referendum, the two major parties of the Catholic population will both campaign in favour of the change and almost one hundred per cent of the North's Catholics vote for either the SDLP or Sinn Féin. This is going to happen, and Unionists have got to get used to the idea. Comments: 8:04:00 AM
