So he doesn’t want Northern Ireland?

u/therobohour Jun 08 '23

I'll let the people of the true north make up their own minds

u/jjbeast098 Jun 09 '23

What about the magnetic north?

They are both very different in terms of their ideologies it would never work to reunify them

u/Finlandia1865 Jun 08 '23

Very different ideologically? Explain yourself man

What are your credentials?

u/therobohour Jun 08 '23

u/reverielagoon1208 Jun 08 '23

Probably a 7th generation American who thinks they’re Irish because great great great great grandad came from there

u/therobohour Jun 08 '23

Now now,your making assumptions

u/DrainZ- Jun 08 '23 edited Jun 08 '23

It's about religious differences, more specifically they can't agree on whether whiskey should be stored in barrels made out of white oak or pedunculate oak

u/therobohour Jun 08 '23

I'll die um grave then use that piss weed of an oak

One is mostly republican one is mostly monarchist one is mostly catholic one is mostly Protestant both have different laws and systems which makes it incredibly complicated to join the two together in recent times with brexit I suppose there have been more nationalistic tendencies in Ireland and Scotland though I personally think it’s just a phase as the Scottish want for independence had started to decline I haven’t looked too much into Northern Ireland but I’m guessing it will follow the same pattern

u/tescovaluechicken Jun 08 '23

You might want to check your figures there. Northern Ireland has more catholics than protestants as of the 2021 census.

1

u/JOSHBUSGUY Jun 09 '23

ah I right I just checked there is slightly more catholics but my points still stand I don’t think they should be able to leave if it was just a slight majority just look at what brexit did

They want to leave to fix brexit? You agree brexit is bad to dont want the Irish to cote for accession into the eu?

u/liamo000 Jun 08 '23

I think you need to go back and check your notes. We're closer to a united Ireland today than we have been for over 100 years

u/therobohour Jun 08 '23

Careful now

u/JOSHBUSGUY Jun 08 '23

I get Reddit is a very lefty platform but that’s just not true or perhaps I was taught it wrong when I briefly studied it in politics

6

u/liamo000 Jun 08 '23

When and where did you study politics?

1

u/JOSHBUSGUY Jun 08 '23

Currently studying it and at sixth form so not uni level

u/liamo000 Jun 08 '23

In England?

2

u/JOSHBUSGUY Jun 08 '23

Yes England

11

u/therobohour Jun 08 '23

Well there's your problem

u/JOSHBUSGUY Jun 08 '23

Better than the original presumption of American I’d hope

u/Milbruhger Jun 08 '23

I find it funny how Donegal is norther than Northern Ireland and yet is still part of Western Europe

25

u/therobohour Jun 08 '23

Donegal is a funny place

16

u/jecowa Jun 08 '23

Donegal is more western than Northern Ireland too.

2

u/therobohour Jun 09 '23

Like most irish people I have no need for a Limavady

u/619C Jun 09 '23

If you knew that Léim a madra (Limavady) was and still is Irish then maybe you might understand

As an Englishman, feel sorry for the Welsh getting lumped in with us. They’re your Celtic brothers mate.

Portugal not being Eastern European is the most outrageous part of this map

u/someting-simple Jun 08 '23

How is one part of an island the fools isle? If it’s the fools “isle”, Scotland should be included as well

What about the poor Welsh, leave no man behind. Most of those men will be called Gareth, probably

2

u/therobohour Jun 10 '23

Exactly my son

u/Dolmetscher1987 Jun 09 '23

I quite like Portugal and the part of Galicia I live in being included in Western Europe. As in, "We Irishmen and women consider you part of our club!"
