That's pretty amazing.

I admit I did get a little carried away by the end, but I'm talking about in the current day, whatever it's called, in so far as affecting their day to day lives it's just a combination of letters. They know where they live and putting it on a sign doesn't make it any more factual.

I've tried to think of something to replace and with to make it mean that Northern Ireland is in Britain but I cant think of one so I really dont understand what your reading it as.

Including, encompassing, comprising, containing, and involving would all work I think.

Oh apologies, that was obvious now come to think of it. And I thought I was all clever using my thesaurus...

There is plenty of Ulster Protestants who live near the border who fully recognise Northern Ireland and want people to know they are entering Northern Ireland. Why are you trying to discriminate against these people and the country they come from? Fact is they decided not to join the Irish Republic and formed their own government. It is as simple as that.

No doubt some one from Dublin will be on this thread in a minute trying to dictate to the Ulster Protestants that these signs aren't allowed. Thank god for Partition.

i was completely correct, you trying to "guess" what somebody meant does not make me wrong, especailly when its there in black and white,,according to you, everybody that posted on this thread disagreeing with you was wrong, says it all for me.

He didn't appear to be guessing anything, he could only take the post at face value and as you said it was there in black and white, where the official name of the UK was quoted nearly to the letter.

Anyone else like to suggest what might be acceptable to everyone at the border?

I don't think I'll ever be able to understand how posters all the way down in Dublin consider themselves qualified to assess whether or not such signs would be offensive to the people actually living near them.

When I drive to work each morning, I certainly don't feel like I'm travelling abroad. Unionist Politicians, however, seem to be pretty insistent that I should feel that way!

This is what could be described as "Ulsterisation" - a process of making the divide between North and South more glaringly apparent. Now ask yourself, when has widening the divide between North and South ever been a positive move.

The majority of people in the Irish Republic do NOT care about Northern Ireland. The gap is pretty clear and has been for many years. Dublin city people certainly don't give a **** about Northern Ireland and the Ulster folk and the agriculture in Ulster.

The Irish government does not care to the degree some Nationalists in the Irish Republic wish it would.

How are you right? I dont have to guess what he meant , it's right there. You even quoted it. Theres no ambiguity there. I'll even quote it for you again.

Stop waffling about other things and deal with this one point. What part of the quote there means anythign other than the words in it or is different from the wiki link I posted and means that Northern Ireland is in Britain?

Judging by the number of "****'s" you used in your post - not to mention your low post count - I'm able to gather that your opinion is fair and balanced, and utterly free of partisanship.

Your still not answering. If its so easy, exlplain ho wwhat he said means Northern Ireland is in Britain.

No need for deflecting, or bringing up other posts, a simple , plain question that should be easy to answer.

Your not going to though, are you? I've asked questions and showed how your wrong. You've used thinly veiled insults and tried to deflect with vague talk of other posts throughout the thread. Why not be specific just for this?

LordSutch · 07-08-2012 10:25PM

Don't see anything wrong with the signs at all, they signify that you (and or tourists) are entering Northern Ireland - Click, the Sterling zone - GBP, Miles Per Hour, a new jurisdiction as part of the UK, you have now moved out of the jurisdiction of the Republic of Ireland, Click telephone codes = Vodafone UK, O2 UK, Orange UK mobile network, The PSNI (not Gardai), etc etc etc . . . .

The signs should be welcomed, as they do everybody a service, specially with the speedlimits and the sterling zone being highlighted.

There already are signs to say the speed limit has changed. From a tourist point of view the less the better.

You quoted it and wrongly tried to mock him.

The United Kingdom OF Great Britain And Northern Ireland is correct and does NOT say that Northern Ireland is in Britain. Show me how it does. The complete lack of support for you from people on this thread that have not been slow to oppose my views speaks volumes.

A sign saying "You're now entering Northern Ireland" does all that?

Why does it matter? The majority of people in the 6 counties which formed Northern Ireland decided to form a new government and a new country. That is all there is to it.

Dublin does NOT want Northern Ireland "back" and never has. Forget about it and move on. Things aren't going to go in reverse.

Still no need for it though. If they tried to put that on signs it would be too obvious that they were just on the wind up. Anyway the signs are already being pulled down so the issue will be a non-issue soon. More importantly almost £1000 of our money was wasted on 8 signs just to wind op the other side.

Are you that naive to actually believe that Dublin and the Irish government actually cares about Northern Ireland and wants it "back"? Don't kid yourself. Every year they try to distance themselves and rightfully so. They can rule themselves. Liberty and self determination are the key here.

TheChizler · 07-08-2012 10:29PM

Just bring all the concerned posts here so I can understand and get all this he said business out of the way. So... Let me get this straight.

The original post said:

Pride Fighter wrote: »

If they were really gloating about it they would say welcome to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Just Northern Ireland is fine and not gloating in any way IMO.

Then this was said:

geneyuss wrote: »

N.Ireland is not part of Great Britain

and...

Guy:Incognito wrote: »

He didnt say it was

where the official definition of the UK is:

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

What exactly is the problem with what Guy:Incognito said?

Fenian Army · 07-08-2012 10:30PM

Love the way thr Irish News gave us a detailed list of where all these signs are, won't be there for long I bet

There already are signs saying "welcome to Fermanagh" etc and ones about the speedlimits so all these signs are is an attempt to stir up things in nationalist border areas.

I see we have the usual gaggle of west brits with their nonsense about these people who happen to live on the other side of the border somehow not being Irish.

Sinn Fein in a huff over new signs
