Northern Ireland


I know that this topic means nothing to most of you but I was just wondering what peoples opinions were in terms of

'should England give it back to Ireland??'

Watch out sparky, this is a deeeeeep subject.

I actually think it's pretty funny that in this day and age, England still owns a piece of our lovely country.

Re: Northern Ireland


Well, I don't want to talk too much about it cos it might get me into a bit of trouble.

Plus, do we really want it back? I'm not really into politics, but I know that a handover would be fairly difficult. It's not just a case of "alright paddy here you go I'll give you you're dvd back".

I hate the fact Ireland is split into "The Replubic of Ireland" and "Northern Ireland."

Heh, yeah the NI situation isnt nice. Basicaly Northern Ireland was meant to be the part that wanted to stay in the union, and effectively the empire at the time. The republic of Ireland was the seperatist force started by Sinn Fein, which remains a political party in Eire, and also as a contrevercial party in Northern Ireland.

So yeah, NI stayed with the union, but the Irish republican army(IRA) didnt like the split, and caused a number of TERRORIST ATTACKS ! OMG TERRORISTS BEFORE 9/11 OMG NO CANT BE TRUE. Cough, sorry, yeah the IRA bombed london pretty much every day during the 70's and early 80's, course they wernt muslim, so its not that much of a deal these days, barely gets a mention.

The reason why NI doesnt have the devolved powers like wales and scotland is because the damn christians cant stop killing themselfs. Ireland is very tribal religion wise, it all started about 400+ years ago when Cromwell tried to protistantise Ireland after the english civil war(s). Ireland, catholic at the time, didnt like this much, and caused a rift between Ireland and England ever since. Course, there was enough protisants in the north part of Ireland to back a partical split of the Island, and also enough to cause the two christian groups to fight each other.

Politics wise, Northern Ireland is still based on religion, its like US elections in a way, either your a unionist protisant or a seperatist catholic, there isnt much swing at all.

That's not really true. The "damn" protestant paramilitaries are killing eachother also.

I wonder where it's all going to go from now since the IRA have decomissioned, which will probably lead to the unionists' decomission also.
