Am Ghobsmacht has observed in the letters section
of the Belfawst Newsletter ('Spare a thought for loyalists from ‘lost’ counties') that basic counting, arithmetic and maths is beyond the grasp of many
everyday loyalists and unionists.
The letter in question laments the fact that so many
Protestants were left behind in the border counties of Donegal, Monaghan and
Cavan.
Mr Crowe seems to hint that it was wrong to exclude these
counties from the newly formed Northern state amazingly oblivious to the fact
that for every Protestant in these counties there were around 9 Catholics.
Am Ghobsmacht
ironically agrees with Mr Crowe that these counties should have joined the
Northern Statelet as Nationalists would now be in the clear majority and would
use their democratic right to vote Northern Ireland out of the union.
