Why is Ireland split? Don't they want to unite? Is it the

The UK insists on Ireland being unified but the Irish keep saying that Northern Ireland is rightfully part of the UK

>The UK insists on Ireland being unified but the Irish keep saying that Northern Ireland is rightfully part of the UK
W-wat?!

This is madness.

>>68933457
>the English
why do people do this
Scots have just as much of a history in terms of atrocities against ireland
the correct term would be Brits
and for the record NI would have been given back if it weren't for the fact that Ulster-Scots Protestants are still fiercely loyal to the crown and that any attempt at putting them under Irish rule would be a fucking bloodbath

>>68934938
This is the problem
A united Ireland would be great but for the ridiculous amount of terrorist shit we'd get after. You could never put independence to referendum like you could in Scotland

>>68933457
The UK doesn't even want NI anymore lol it's an africa-tier money sink

>>68934938
So Scotts in Ireland are the problem?

>>68935150
Scots in general tend to be a problem

It is neither the UK or the Republic's idea but the unionists in Northern Ireland.
>Ireland fought for Independance.
>UK resisted
>UK finally said fuck it and finally gave in kinda.
>Offered Ireland home rule in the form of the Irish free state
>Protestant northern Ireland begin to kick up a fuss
>Formed their own Military group called the UVF and begin to import weapons
>Prepared to go to war with the UK and Irish free state so they can stay within the UK
>Britain say fyck it, Northern Ireland remains part of Britain.
>New Irish free state starts a civil war between the pro treaty and anti treaty party
>Civil war ends
>Anti treaty party gets into powers, ignores their old complaints and uses the treaty they fought against to establish the republic.

That is a a brief summary about the split.
Today the UK nor the Republic want Northern Ireland as it is a huge money sink except for a few fair weather republicans in the Republic and North.
Most people on the Island don't give a fuck anymore.

100% this, it's the residents of norn iron that want to be separate.
Per capita we'd be richer as a country if they fucked off.

>>68933457
They can unite, both bits just need to have a referendum about it. But they haven't because no one cares enough.
Also no one cares about religion here

Scottish Presbyterians did nothing wrong

Than explain the "it would be a bloodbath" opinion about unification.

Why are Ulster Scots so fucking based ?

>>68933457
when the irish free state was established, there was an option for nothern ireland to opt out and rejoin the UK, which they decided to do

>>68934938
Because it was the English m8, if Scotland wasn't firmly lodged in the arsehole of England, Ireland could push their shit in with ease

>>68936965
They are the only european colonists that never admitted they were wrong or apologized.
Other than that they are a bunch of inbred dumb fucks whose fight has devolved into football hooliganism.

North Ireland will be whole once more

I live in Boston and once of my friends brother is in the RIRA

They make gains everyday

Catholics are going to be the majority soon and Brexit angered NI a great deal

Celts will be whole once more lads!

>>68940701
there haven't been celts in these lands for a thousand years

>>68941376
The Irish are Celts

>>68941474
1001 years ago maybe

>>68941563
they evolved into gaelic fenians, ain't that right, billy?

>>68943809
Don't know the specifics, only that there haven't been celts in these lands for a thousand years.

WTF i hate ireland now!!

Northern Irish people are subhuman. There are still weekly terrorism-related incidents in Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is not worth a civil war, it's a dump anyway

>>68947707
It really isn't that much different from the rest of Britain and the people were a lot friendlier than the Scots or Welsh in my experience. Seeing a union jack on every lamppost was a quality experience as well.

>>68933457
Northern Ireland a cute.

if i drive in ireland with a car with numberplates where the EU bit has been replaced by the british flag, like in pic related, am i likely to get myself looks or into situations at all? i'd really like to get the ferry over and drive around the island in summer 2bh and wondering if its worth spending the £30 or whatever to make them normal.

The irish up north voted to rejoin the UK after Ireland was declared a separate dominion.
*scots

>>68949128
Technically its not permitted, Only the old white circle with GB can be used if you don't use the EU symbol.
But then again I doubt the gardaí would care.

British descendant planters in the north threatened a massive chimp out if they were included in an Irish state despite being foreigners who should fuck off home. As a result "Northern Ireland" came into existence as a gerrymandered quasi-country wherein the planters formed a large but not overwhelming majority and proceeded to be dickheads to the sizeable native Catholic minority. The natural result was an Irish nationalist chimpout in return.

The lads in the north love the Queen to much to unite

>>68933457
Stupid cunts like Michael Collins (chinless retard) and Eamon Devalera (Hitler apologist loser) made it literally impossible for Ireland to unite due to the stigma portrayed towards all British people during the war of independence, including ulster scots. If they stuck with the John Redmond philosophy and sought for independence without fighting the British (like most countries in the British empire in the 20th century) there'd be a much higher chance of unification, but as always, the Irish blew it
