    There's no getting round the fact that the problems in Northern Ireland are a legacy of centuries of British Imperialism and Protestant dominance: the province was artificially constructed from 6 of the 9 counties of Ulster where the Protestants were in the majority, and discrimination against Catholics was institutionalised. It's largely forgotten nowadays that the reason the Army was put on the streets in the 60s was to protect Catholics from Loyalist mobs who were driving them out of their homes. Sadly "mission creep" quickly set in with a vengeance.
