Answer 1

Wales, Scotland & N.Ireland have their own identies, emblums, flags, national dish, costumes etc., what does England have?........zilch.

Each of the above named countries market themsleves successfully, England relies on Royalty and nobody is impressed by that!

This is going to stir up a hornets nest, but then the English cant market their own country like everyone else, no question about that.

Answer 2

I'm sure there were plenty of people in Northern Ireland who were rightfully disgusted by the Provisional IRA, even ones who wanted Northern Ireland to separate from the UK to join ROI. Ultimately because the British government never resorted to cowardly methods like the IRA is the reason why the IRA lost their campaign. Had the IRA been peaceful Northern Ireland would be a much better place today. Betty Williams staged a protest march against the violence and was not pro-British but the IRA stopped her first attempt through violence. The IRA were gangsters with no true interest in Northern Ireland. The young idealists they recruited were corrupted with simplified stories, Even now people say the British shouldn't been in Ireland. Who are they referring to, the population descended from settlers in 1700's? The army who had to be called in to try keep the peace? Why wasn't Northern Ireland taken during the Irish revolution, they would have taken it if they wanted but they didn't and I think that's the real reason the ones they recruited were so violent, they were essentially unwanted Catholic population of Northern Ireland ignored by both the Republic and Kingdom. Northern Ireland is not a clear cut issue. Britain never invaded Ireland to gain the land, Ireland join the UK in 1800 and after being refused home rule until 1914, and then having it postponed because of the war, they revolted and Ireland was split in two. The Protestant population of Northern Ireland set up the legal system to favour them above Catholics, but this was even this has mixed issues. Early Protestant settlers were encouraged by James VI and I to bring unity to the three kingdoms and the Catholic population regularly attacked the Protestants. You can argue all day about who threw the first punch but it is the Provisional IRA who have spread hate. As for a comparison between Gaza and Northern Ireland. There's not many parallels. Palestine was invaded and taken. Ireland joined willing and split into two willingly. The population of Gaza are not considered citizens of Israel, the people of Northern Ireland were considered British citizens until 1997 where they now have a choice. The only constant between them is abuse of religion and violence, and I'm against both of those. I am against all violence and justifying violence by pushing people until they attack you and "defending" yourself is never an excuse. There is always a better way even if it's not obvious.
