More a Genocide than a “famine” but Scotland had famines before us. They fed the Scots.

Plastic bag levy and smoking ban

Has this not been debated that it was incompetence by the British authorities that caused this, rather than pre-mediation to wipe us out?

The smoking ban.

Plastic bag levy. I used to load up on the free bags up North whenever I went up for a shop.

Equal suffrage. In 1918, the UK and Ireland gave women over 30 years of age the vote, while men could vote at 21. On gaining independence in 1922, Ireland made it 21 for both. The UK didn't do that until 1928.

Leprechauns, Shamrock, Guinness, horses running through council estates, toothless simpletons, people with eyebrows on their cheeks.

Countless Irish actors, musicians, writers and sportspersons that the British media claim as their own soon as something of note happens to them.

Samuel L. Jackson famously shut down a British reporter who claimed Colin Farrell when both men were promoting the film 'SWAT'. Says Sam "you Brits have a real problem with claiming people that aren't"

Shame he didn't throw in a 'muthaf***a' for good measure.
