How British is Northern Ireland?

i don't think even 1 percent at all. i know 12 Irish people and not even a single person has very good remarks about English men. yes that's true none out of 12. there y go.... I will answer this question more coherently. The British people in Northern Ireland are not English - English people live in England. The British of Northern Ireland are largely descended from Scottish settlers from between 17th century and early 20th century, thereby the 'British' of Northern Ireland identify more closely with Scotland than with England but are 'loyal' to the British Crown. How Irish people feel about English people is irrelevant to Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland in 2012 has a slight British majority - nationality and religion are aligned in Northern Ireland thus generally British=Protestant, Irish=Roman Catholic. The population of Northern Ireland is almost entirely white - 99.15% of the population. A 2008 survey found that 57% of Protestants described themselves as British, while 32% identified as Northern Irish, 6% as Ulster and 4% as Irish. Compared to a similar survey carried out in 1998, this shows a fall in the percentage of Protestants identifying as British and Ulster, and a rise in those identifying as Northern Irish. The 2008 survey found that 61% of Catholics described themselves as Irish, with 25% identifying as Northern Irish, 8% as British and 1% as Ulster. These figures were largely unchanged from the 1998 results. The people of Northern Ireland, due to conditions of the Good Friday Agreement, have the right to both British and Irish nationalities and a citizen may hold both Irish and British passports.... "...it is the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly [the two governments] confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Northern Ireland." This right to dual nationality is unique in the United Kingdom and only pertains to people of Irish and British ancestry born in Northern Ireland.
