The Unexpected Stabilization of Control

The Second World War and its Aftermath, 1940–1957

We are the children of the Empire, we Ulster people…we have done more than our fair share in upbuilding those great communities that own Britain as their mother.

Hugh Pollock, Northern Ireland House of Commons, 1921a

I’m not Irish, I’m an Ulsterman—my family came here in ’97, I mean 1597…My principle was always to be fair as far as you could, but you can’t be entirely fair politically; there’s always somebody who gets a rough deal…I was very lucky. I had a completely united Unionist party, barring the odd crank or two, loyalist party I call ’em.

Lord Brookeborough, spring 19721
