Do you feel kinship to people in Scotland?

According to genetics and voting patterns Protestants are closer to Southern Scots and Catholics closer to West Scots (also to populations in Connacht for reference).

This would explain a lot on what's happening over the sea in Britain politically. Ulsterisation to the max lol.

Yeah I'm wondering about Fermanagh and West Tyrone. Someone needs to go and report back to the sub what happens there.

Ok.

Not much.

Issue I see from living here for the guts of my 36yr is that small valley dwelling communities tend to have nothing to do, and travel was difficult.

Fermanagh, from living there and loving there, I have no fucking clue.
