Northern Ireland- a failure 99 years on?

There it is again, the one-upmanship that sees one community delight in prospering at the expense of the other. The Northern Irish education system is a disgrace. That you delight in a slightly less bad outcome for your "side" says it all.
Im "delighting" in it now and we have the assumption that not only is segregation the cause of Norn Irons education ills but that is hurting catholic schools too now as well, fascinating stuff.
The reality is that education standard at primary level in a lot of the UK is **** in comparison to ours
The other bitter truth in the North is that catholic religious orders run high achieving schools and quite often catholics value education more than protestants as a result of the history of discrimination which caused catholic schools to be strongly integrated into the community through multiple connections. Thats not my opinion thats a QUB study commisioned by the NI executive
Apartheid mar dhea

Northern Ireland will limp on as long as the UK exists but if Scotland ever quits then it’s game over for Irish unionism; the British interest in Ireland is largely predicated on maintaining the wider union. If that’s no longer viable you’ll see a long term strategy for unity put in place by the British themselves I’d say.
TBH its just as likely that the English will start looking for independance from the rest of em in medium term.

What is outdated about a progressive vision of an island united as one entity in seeking economic prosperity, health security and a progressive inclusive society for all?
An island without partition, where the North is no longer stuck in a sectarian rut? Don't be scaring people

Outdated concepts of nationality linked to territory are on the way out.
Your history of hilariously bad predictions continues.Your type of rhetoric has no future in a multicultural, inclusive society.
My type of rhetoric is perfectly congruent with a multicultural, inclusive society.Integration and acceptance of the British heritage on this island, distinct and separate, but part of us, is what is needed to move on.
For sure, but the pseudo-British aspects need to be contained in the north east of Ireland because, I'm sure you'll agree, anachronistic organisations like the Orange Order that expel members for marrying a Catholic, but not murdering one, have no place in a multicultural, inclusive society.
Take your time untangling yourself from that spaghetti of knots you've tied yourself up in and the next time you quote me try answering the points rather than ones you've imagined.
