Happiness is a Province Called Ulster

 

It's official!!  People in Northern Ireland are significantly happier than their Southern counterparts.  They are more contented with family life, emotional stability, job satisfaction and a greater commitment to a strong work ethic.  When one looks at the magnitude of the findings, the results are incredible.  After all, the Irish Republic did not experience a thirty-year campaign of terrorism and genocide (though it did virtually nothing to curtail the terrorist threat, either); it has experienced an impressive economic rate of growth; and it is not infested with a sizeable proportion of the population who will stop at nothing to deride and destroy its constitutional legitimacy.



We have been fed the nonsense for years from nationalists that Northern Ireland was a 'failed entity.'  Judging by the general levels of satisfaction found in the Diageo Ireland survey, it is considerably less of a failure than the independent, sovereign entity on its southern flank.  Maybe when republican commentators are drowning in their venom of self-induced MOPEry, they will stop to ponder just how much rubbish they are spouting.
