I have Ulster heritage and im proud of it. Both are mixed in. A lot of people don't realise this.
Being an Ulsterman DOES NOT go against being british. Some one needs a history lesson. The people who fought in WW1, the ulster division, a lot of them were proud to be fighting for their country. Others seen it as a way of getting home rule. Again, depending which side of the family you come from.
RIP to all them great men.

But Ulster is nothing more than what the english tried to change the word Ulaidh to when they first came here and tried to rid us of our language, when it was Ulaidh as in the province of Ireland. Ulster is Irish land, including the six counties of n. Ireland and the other counties of Ulster in the republic, I just find it kind of weird how people can use Ulster as a British term when it a traditional Irish place.
