Ignorthern Ireland Campaign

bfa1509

Sick and tired of hearing Northern Ireland related news stories 24/7 on television, newspapers and online? Then the Ignorthern Ireland Campaign is just for you! No further action required, no sign ups necessary, a lifetime subscription, truly unlimited experience - you just have to completely ignore any Northern Ireland related news stories.

The campaign sparked after a remarkable turn of events showing the leaking of emails sent between Michael Collins and Sir James Craig just prior to the signing of the 1922 Craig-Collins Pact. In these emails the contentious issue of Ulster is laid bare as the following excerpt illustrates:

Craig: "Good news Mikey. I just got off the phone from King G. He has given me the all clear to give Ulster to Ireland"

Collins: "Don't get a ahead of yourself, Jimmy. I just got a whatsapp from DeVo. He says we should be good to let the UK keep Ulster"

Craig: "Quite alright, Michael, you keep Ulster"

Collins: "You are too kind, Sir Craig, but you should keep Ulster"

Craig: "NO YOU CAN HAVE ULSTER"

Collins: "NO YOU HAVE ULSTER"

And the emails continued back and forth in this vein for months until March 1922 when Collins and Craig reluctantly agreed to share the 9 counties.

100 years on, with better roads, better health services, better sports facilities, they still aren't happy. And Brexit proves that both the UK and Ireland still don't want them...

I call bull****, no way Collins would have communicated via email: too easy to intercept.

He did. I was there. He used Protonmail via Nordvpn while using the Tor browser.

Is Ignorthern a word?

I am also not sure emails have been around for that long....

I don’t mind hearing about NI but I wish they’d pixelate Arlene fosters face when she appears on the news, nauseating.

That’s her natural look, like somebody punched a quiche.

Ah right, I get you. See I prefer looking at the "PG" rated version of Arlene, by which I mean hearing her on the radio.

She sounds like a camel falling down an escalator while on fire.
