    When Labour introduced universal education after the war there was a lop sided benefit to the Catholic population of Northern Ireland - given they had no other choice but to study since the Proddies had all the jobs in the traditional manufacturing industries <whistle>

    That might be a part of it but Catholic schools are better also. Not just here but worldwide. ****s in England willingly convert to Taigism so their kids can get into Catholic schools.

    Nor are there in Hull. Fair enough, the kids do sit them, they just don't get them.

    The catholic schooling system seems to be better. Saying that about 10 of my prod mates went to catholic schools just because of the proximity to their house.

    A fella that goes to Gers games with me, a hardline unionist, sent his 3 kids to a catholic school because the school he went to was a joke.

    The Head of Lower School at Hitchin Boys' was rumoured to be (and indeed later imprisoned for) fiddling wiv da kids.

    No one misbehaved in his classes.
