When will Britain give (Northern) Ireland back to the Irish ?

Question

Did you also learn in geography that the British killed and/or allowed millions of Irish to die during the Irish potato famine of the 19th century ? Is that what you call democracy ? Kill your opponent to achieve plurality ?

Answer 1

I would think that if the Protestant constituency in northern Ireland would agree to join the Irish Republic, the government of Great Britain would have little legal or political legitimacy to remain in Northern Ireland. But, as you should be well aware, given what the Protestants of Northern Ireland want, being part of the Ireland proper is not an option. Protestants, who at least comprise a significant minority of Northern Ireland, WANT to be part of Great Britain. Therefore it is the responsibility of Great Britain to protect this interest. Besides, have you read the news lately? Catholics (i.e. Jerry Adams of Sinn Fein), and Protestants (some old guy... a bishop in his 80s...forget his name) have agreed once again on a power sharing government. So, now 'giving' Northern Ireland back to the Irish...is really not relavant at this juncture.

Your additional comments regarding the historical cruelty of the British crown, as horrible as it was, is just that--history. If you think a guilt trip, especially one which started over almost two centuries ago, will cause any nation to do anything, especially give up territory, consider yourself officially naive. Look at current facts on the ground for your answer--bloody terrorism on both sides.

Answer 2

The Protestant Irish or the Catholic Irish, 'cause the Majority of the Irish already voted on the subject, why don't you vote to split Ireland in 2?

Answer 3

It probably won't happen anytime soon. We learned in geography that the current situation is that some Irish people in Northern Ireland want their homelands to belong to Ireland again. But, in Northern Ireland there are British that want tyo keep their new homelands for themselves. Both want to keep their respective homelands and traditions, and so the situation is most likely going to stay as it is.

The same time the US gives Texas back to Mexico and the Islamo fascists give up their aims of world conquest. Also last time the question was raised most of the people of Northern Island voted to stay part of the UK.

Answer 6

Who ever said the Irish owned it? And who ever said all of the Irish wanted self-governance?

Why should we? Ulster chose to remain part of Britain in a referendum, the same referendum that granted the Papists their independence.
