Protestants describe their concerns about the likelihood Ireland will unite after Brexit - most of it fear that their stolen land will be taken back from them but also a brood of young macho men who are determined to fight as in the troubles to give themselves a name - they'll be the ones Ireland was concerned she would have to put up with if Scotland became Independent and Westminster gave up on N Ireland in response. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jul/18/northern-irish-unionists-fear-post-brexit-land-grabs
