Nah, I disagree about Northern Irelanders being treated like second class citizens; the loyalists I've met are more English than the English; I think it's just down to a massive split on independene in the country.
I think you're right about Brexit; Northern Ireland leaving the union is bound to happen, and something like Brexit will probably speed it up. I'd be staggered if the North wasn't part of the Republic in under 50 years tops.
Yeah loyalists are looked after because they vote for pro british parties.
The area I grew up in in the late 90s was more like an eastern European ghetto than the UK or Ireland. Even nowadays it's hardly changed apart from the fact that cops can drive through without being bricked every time.

Yeah? Fair enough, dude, that does sound pretty grim.
