Boss manufactured their uniforms, he did not design them.

Doireann Ní Ghrioghair was researching architect Daithi Hanly when she came across his "bonkers plans" for a new totalitarian Christian capital city outside of Dublin.

It was urban planning like Nazi architect Albert Speer's, Ní Ghrioghair says. "Where all the roads would lead into the main area with a big parliament building in the centre."

The plans included a triumphal arch, with a "column of the resurrection" and a "garden of heroes".

Hanly, who later became a Dublin City Council architect, outlined his vision for a new city, at the Hill of Tara in County Meath, in Aiséirghe, a magazine published by far-right group Ailtirí na hAiséirghe (Architects of the Resurrection).

James Craig April 1934, in response to George Leeke's question regarding Craig's Protestant Parliament:
The hon. Member must remember that in the South they boasted of a Catholic State. They still boast of Southern Ireland being a Catholic State. All I boast of is that we are a Protestant Parliament and a Protestant State. It would be rather interesting for historians of the future to compare a Catholic State launched in the South with a Protestant State launched in the North and to see which gets on the better and prospers the more. It is most interesting for me at the moment to watch how they are progressing. I am doing my best always to top the bill and to be ahead of the South


Later that year, speaking in the House of Commons at Stormont on the 21 November 1934 in response to an accusation that all government appointments in Northern Ireland were carried out on a religious basis, he replied: "... it is undoubtedly our duty and our privilege, and always will be, to see that those appointed by us possess the most unimpeachable loyalty to the King and Constitution. That is my whole object in carrying on a Protestant Government for a Protestant people. I repeat it in this House".[5]

Is  there a statue?

In 1770, Crispus Attucks, a black man, became the first casualty of the American Revolution when he was shot and killed in what became known as the Boston Massacre.

The DUP
run the same model as the extreme right AfD in Germany

   "The secret of the AfD's success is that it's a coalition of both extreme and moderate forces," said Wolfgang Schroeder, a political scientist at the Berlin Social Science Centre. "If Meuthen kicks out all the extremists, he'll destroy this successful formula."
