Should We Rejoin Britain?

UsernameInUse

"Sorry old chaps, can we come back now that our country is f*cked?"

Well, we're going to default soon - which will mean no social welfare, everything will be privatised (schools/health), no jobs ect. Should we rejoin Britain and perhaps use a common currency?

We've already proved that we haven't got the intellect to run a nation. I for one, welcome our new David Cameron overlords. Besides, minus the Queen head and all that - there is no reason why we can't configure a stable and equal common ground for prosperity. The only thing that will change is that our politicians will be in Westminster. Big deal - it's not half as embarrassing as being in Dail Eireann. Plus, the benefits are tenfold. Fianna Fail will be laughed out of the House of Commons with their crazy draconian ideas.

Would this be an attempt to bypass the slavery of the Leaving Cert and instead do the (allegedly) piss-easy A Levels?

They have a very good economy and we could use a few of their players on the Irish football team.

Oh, and the wimmens.

I couldn't agree more.

I would let all the Brazilians come over here - whats the problem? We could all go over there.

Why can't we just invade? We could blitzkrieg Norn Ireland and assault the beaches at Blackpool. they're too busy with libya and Afghanistan to put up a fight, we could be in London by Sunday night.

There is a flight leaving Dublin airport in about an hour. If we get that we could be in London by about 8:30.

It is not geographically possible. Well, maybe it is with a bit of plate movement in several million years.

Why do you have to spoil everything.

Some of us just wanted to wear the hats while we all sailed across the Irish sea in dingy boats.

I doubt the brits would actually want to be associated with Ireland at this stage.

But they mightn't let us on with our shotguns, pick axe handles, and new United Kingdom of Ireland manifesto plan thingy.

PeterIanStaker

Instead of rejoining, just deport Myers, Harris, Dudley - Edwards, Bruce Arnold, Bob Geldof, John Waters, et al over to Britain.

Once there, they would distract their former colonial masters by drooling, brown - nosing, fawning incessantly over them, writing articles in the paper about how brilliant the First World War was, and humping their legs, while someone steals the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London and then sells them to a rich rapper for €85 Billion.

Win - win situation. :cool:

I love it when a plan comes together.

They certainly wouldn't let us on if FF, Fine Gael and Labour drew it up. We'd be all up **** creek in a week.

There are many parts of Ireland where if you live and drink the water you probably already do (mixed in with other peoples as well)

Ye can stop right here lads.

This will get closed if it descends into war.

deise go deo

Why would we region Britain? Surely if we are going to join up with another country it should be one who A) Have not tried to wipe out our culture and at times our population in the past and actually has a decent economy themselves.

I Vote for Germany on this score. Good Economy and while their track record on the attempted wiping out of other races isent great, at least it wasnt us.

Not strictly true, is it?

Britain is run by a coalition government of Conservaties and Liberal Democrats, both of whom are pro unionist parties...

The Russians mobsters might have us as their zoo.

They'd visit the Limerick enclosure or the dodgy Dublin enclosure and laugh and point at the drug dealers chimpanzees killing picking each others nits

Fratton Fred

You see, this is a bit like the pocket empires game.

For the last ten years, Ireland tried buying Britain, but ultimately ran out out of gems. Now, the UK with its superior stash of gems (most gained by conquering smaller less well equipped countries) is now in the process of buying back what it lost (as a result of depleting its resources in a major battle with a similarly sized empire) back in 1922.

Fact does actually mirror fiction.

Now, if you wouldn't all mind lining up outside the army recruiting office in Armagh that would be grand.

I don't really care. Mum is from Antrim, visit once maybe twice a year. Place is a bit of a dive and doesn't really affect my life whether it is governed from London or Dublin. Was just pointing out his point wasn't really true.

Do English people actually care about northern Ireland?

No. But there was a hissy-fit thrown in Westminster a few weeks back when Adams left to run for the Dail. They were complaining to Cameron that he shouldn't be getting money from British taxpayers if he's not representing anyone in the UK.

Of course we should re-join with our British comrades!!! NO SURRENDER!!! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!! UP THE BRA!!! (BRITISH REPUBLICAN ARMY)
