The occupying settlers still want them there
Northern Ireland did not join the rest because a majority of the locals were Protestants who were descended from English people who moved there. And those locals prefer to be part of England.

Oops, you're right
I'd thought that those settlers came from England specifically, but google tells me that many came from Scotland as well.

No.
They're in Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK.

You're now officially out of your depth.
The UVF and UDA are paramilitary terrorist organisations.

you man like Fatah and Al Aska Martyr Brigades?
[link|http://www.scottishloyalists.com/paramilitaries/uda.htm|http://www.scottishl...ilitaries/uda.htm] During the Stevens inquiry it became apparent that the UDA had access to a large number of security files on Republicans and suspected members of Republican paramilitary groups. looks like a wink and nod situation there. thanx, bill

Practically on the payroll.
If that's what you want to believe.
Of course, you've got to conquer your own demons of being a supporter of segregation. internment, imprisonment without trial, secret military tribunals, unfettered wiretapping without a warrant, and extra-judicial executions first; after all, your government did it therefore you support it.
