Goodness me, I can just imagine some of the teeth clenching and hysterical rage

I was reading the othe r day how much it costs us to keep the northern bit fed. It's fúcking mental.

I reckon you should have it back. Have you considered invading?

You speak as though it's our fault you took over Ireland but only gave part of it back. We just live here.

It's a decision I've never really understood, n. It's not like you had gold, or oil, or something useful worth nicking.

Bit of an error on the old emperialist front, if you ask me.

I don't think Sir C is quite that old, tbf.

Kind of you, a.

You guys speak as if you don't know your history. The reason the Brits didn't give back Northern Ireland was that a big majority didn't want to be given back and there would have been carnage, tens of thousands of deaths at least, if they had.

Sorry Mo, I just felt a visceral hatred when I saw your name despite not (consciously) remembering why you engender such hostility within me. I'm sure I'll be reminded soon enough though

Yes, the North East of Ireland was mainly Protestant, Unionist people due to the plantation. That's why they didn't give it back imo.
The creation of Northern Ireland, gerrymandering, oppression of Catholics, civil rights, 30 odd years of violence & now peace. 400 years summed up in a paragraph.

I'm glad they didn't give it back. Northern Ireland wasn't expected to last. But the Unionist government made it work and it's still here. Steve Williams OUT!
