    Sigh. You don’t find Brits attacking the Irish online. It’s all Irish cosplaying as revolutionaries from shit that happend 50 years ago

    The Brits really don’t give a shit about Northern Ireland, you are welcome to it.

      The Brits in Northern Ireland disagree.

            They know. That’s why they kicked off about pedo Donaldson getting paid off to accept no border post Brexit.

            Only while it’s the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

            The UK is devolving power, thankfully. Centralising power in Europe has failed every time in history.

              Not necessarily really, GFA gives the people of NI the right to be British, Irish or both irrespective of whether the territory is part of the UK or a united Ireland

                  At the minute it covers citizenship, it’s unlikely any citizenship would be stripped directly - the rest is whatever is negotiated. In reality Irish citizens don’t really have much distinction from British citizens in British law already.

                    It’s a demographic issue. Younger voters are more pro reunion. It’ll be done by 2040 I bet.

      Mostly I see Americans who think they understand what’s going on with some romanticised idea of what NI is. They also seem to think the troubles was some kind of border dispute between nations.
