Rees Mogg on Twitter the other day: "Northern Ireland is as British as Somerset" We may laugh, but this kind of nonsense plays very well with both the Telegraph reading, tweed wearing elite and the bacon sambo scoffing Sun reader in England.

Whatever you're on about must be minor if it's not on news websites. If you can't provide a link you must be making it up or else it's insignificant.

I’m glad you aren’t downplaying what he did. That would have been awkward.... I didn’t drag anything up (the BBC did) but you for whatever reason appear to want to downplay it. Is this how the Catholic Church got awAy with so much? Sorry - you were the very one claiming I was making it up. Wtf???”?” People trying to downplay and deflect the abuse???

timthumbni wrote: » My point ( in bringing up a current bbc news story that I was accused of making up) was that maybe Irish republicans should maybe watch and spend more time on own children more closely than they appear to hate the Brits etc... It seems that covering up is more important for some republicans than their main goal. It staggers me tbh. Aye?

Unionists, bloody unionists claim to be British and wish to maintain the Union with Britain, God knows why? I mean why can't the renounce their Britishness and become Irish, just like us? Feck their NHS and their Covid vaccine programme, they should have the same health service as us seeing as they share the same island. The only reason they are part of the UK is because a majority of them want to remain even if the English don't want them!

Also up until around the 90s Northern Ireland was disputed territory claimed by both governments.
Parachutes wrote: » "immediate and terrible war" Absolute bluff and even if it wasn't we still would have won in the end. That treaty was the worst thing to ever happen to Republicanism.
Ffff221 wrote: » Your point makes no sense at all the IRA had strong support, polls from the late 70s show 20-25% of people in the republic fully supporting the IRA andd judging by Sinn Feins first election in 1983 they had support from roughly half of the Catholic population in the North even with so much propaganda directed against them.

Ffff221 wrote: » What are you talking about? In the first election Sinn Fein contested in 1983 the SDLP got 130,000 votes and Sinn Fein got 100,000 and they would have had far more support than that at earlier points of the conflict. I'd hardly call that the "vast majority" or that they were only getting the odd MP "here and there".
