I hope you're not referring to the whole of Northern Ireland BECAUSE you are young and were brought up on the education of the UK. All you've ever known IN Northern ireland is English rule, therefore how can you make an informed decision on why you did this and that. I'm not saying you've been brainwashed to believe anything, but the phrase "The winner writes the history books" comes to mind. Well considering the education system of Northern Ireland involves input from Ireland...
The point is the UK have treated Ireland AND Scotland appallingly in the past, and to some extent we still do now in terms of Money and borrowing. I hope you have been taught the story of the great potato famine and the part that the UK had to play in the hundred of thousand of deaths in Ireland. I do not blame Ireland at all for wanting to have independence, after all what did we really do for them? Nothing, we treated them as cheap Labour. And the USA had infighting amont the races. Those were not times of human rights.
Although now, in today's climate I would love to have Ireland become part of the United Kingdom again. It is an option now because of new human rights legislation etc, and if you put a bit of money into the economy you are going to see it come back out. That is true of any economy. Except if that money is just allocated and pumped in, you need to ensure that you're investing in the right areas.
We were the world power - we had provided for our citizens. To go and bite the hand that feeds you?
*we as in people from Northern Ireland were provided (Those of you that were the correct religion ) What we produced in the south was exported to the UK durning the famine. In those times Ireland was a whole, there was no Northern Ireland and the ROI. GB had a place in the world to hold, but alas they did attempt to get supplies, but they were inefficient and extremely late.
The UK had just emerged from The Great War, so yeah maybe everyone felt the pinch? Of course, you had been intending to fight us with German weapons too.
In WW1. 350,000 Irishmen volunteered for service during WW1 in addition to the 50,000 Irishmen already serving in the regular army and reserve at the outbreak of the war. Most of the southern Irish Catholics. Not including the thousands of IVF still trying to fight the British? Of course they should have stepped up and fought, it was for their security too.
Had your government, the one you elected, not got you into that mess then you would not be moaning about it.
Yes our government and banks got it wrong .... Im sure there not the first our the last that will ....:icon_eek:
Maybe i wrong :icon_redface: If that's a reference to the UK, atleast we are dealing with it.
Not going to comment on it all but Ireland remain part of the UK?
The country who exploited us? Caused a famine and caused people to leave for a better life because of a lack of food while the british exported our crops? I've answered that amongst the several above points.
