    All hail emperor queen!

    There's a load of black Irish in Barbados, we should invade so we can assimilate their ability to "take the sun", back into the general population at home.

    Which ones are they? Most republican/nationalist people who live in Northern Ireland would prefer to live in a 32 state republic.

    The others do not consider themselves Irish but British.

    That ain't true. No matter how much you or I would want it to be.

    I don't want to live in Britain, or for any part of Ireland to be British but what I am asking is that is there any decent argument for that stance considering sovereignty is pretty much fcuked out the window anyway.

    I would actually like people to tell me why it is a bad idea.

    It's a bad idea because you would become British. Is it not pretty straight forward?

    Given that more Irish people choose to live under British rule than under Irish rule. (6,000,000 in Britain + population of NI) is it time for referendum for a united Ireland under British rule?

    Now the idea sickens me but as my belief in democracy is stronger than my republicanism, then part of me feels such a referendum would be fair.

    A united Ireland under British rule would enjoy a lot of autonomy as does NI and Scotland. Perhaps more autonomy than we will 10 years from now anyway.

    What do you think, should we have a referendum and how would you vote?

    i bet the OP has union jack boxers on

    it is probably worth it just to see the look on Sean Quinn and Thomas McFeeley's face when they realise that despite running and hiding behind the queen's skirt, they haven't been able to hide.

    in fairness, we spent the last 500 of those telling you about the Catholic Church, but you weren't listening. Now you've finally copped on we might just take you back.:pac:

    I'd vote NO, mainly because it would give further legitimacy to the Illuminati's plan to install the Lizard Queen as head of the One World government and wipe out 99% of the Earth's popultaion to keep humankind in permanent slavery.

    How long do you have to live in an adopted country before you count as being part of the population of that country?

    Ive lived in Ireland for 25 years, so is a guy born and bred in the UK or Aus of Irish parents more Irish than me?

    Wrong.

    Everyone in Northern Ireland is Irish. Everyone on this island is Irish.

    It's just that the majority of people in Northern Ireland (i.e. non-nationalists /republicans) want to remain part of Britain.

    In the same way that Scottish people are still Scottish, Welsh people are still Welsh, people in NI are still Irish in that sense.

    I'm all for it, anything to get away from the clowns who rule us now. Plus I like the poetic justice of the unfortunate English taxpayers having to subsidise us just like they do Northern Ireland and Scotland and Wales.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭Madam


    NI people are British though, they are NOT Irish...

    So, Scottish people are not Scottish? Why can't you be British and Irish( or Irish and British - if thats your wont)?

    Depends on who can eat the most potatoes. Although the UK and Aussie guys are at a distinct disadvantage because they don't sell official Irish grade spuds in either of those places.

    Always amazes me how little people know about geopolitics.

    How can they be British when they weren't born in Britain nor do they live in Britain. They were born in, and live in, the United Kingdom. But not Britain. It's the United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland. i.e. the union of 2 different things.

    To the OP, what's this 6 million figure you're talking about? 6 million Irish where exactly?

    I thought it might depend on who can get heart disease the quickest from putting Kerrygold on their spuds and gorging on Denny rashers and red lemonade.

    I think he means the estimated figure of citizens living in the UK of Irish lineage,apparently the largest minority group in the UK to date.

    If that be the case and going on that logic then why go with been ruled by or becoming part of the UK? why not America? I'm sure we've a few million more over there so why not a referendum on an allegiance to the grand aul U.S of A?

    "I don't want to play on this team anymore,we're crap,I want to play for that team over there,they're better than this team,oh no wait,there's a better team than them,I want to join that one" :D

    on another point .....

    ;)

    Because my passport says so.

    Also, the Island on which England, Scotland and Wales sits is called Great Britain. People born in NI are not from Great Britain.

    There is no actual place "Britain". It is a term used largely to refer to the UK.

    Although I know N.I. is not part of Great Britain, the folks up there are considered british citizens, but they can also have irish or dual citizenship.
