There was migration into Ireland 300 to 400 years ago mainly from Scotland. This was contravershal and like many things that happened centuries ago not of the standards of today. Incidently the same number of Irish migrated to England in the industrial revolution no one in England wants to send them home because we are sensible and civilised people. The fact is almost everywhere in the world had similar situations to this look at America. No one other than a fanatic wants to force them from their homes because something their distant ancestors did. Yet many in the republican movement in Ireland want to do just that you can see in the langauage shaggy used above posts he simply does not recognise their right to be there. However the unionists are the majority they want to be British Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and as long as the people from that province want to be part of the UK thats the way it's going to continue whether the bully boys like it or not. Incidently shaggy you don't know your own history the Ulster volunteers fought the British government before the First World War the British government wanted to do exactly as you wished to give home rule. The Ulster volunteers wanted to stop this and the British were gearing up to send the army in and put the Royal Navy off the Irish coast. To basically give the Irish republicans what they wanted so much for the evil invading British. However this never happened because World War One broke out and thousands of the Ulster volunteers joined the British army and died and fought bravely in France. After that the British government backed down. The only reason Northern Ireland is part of Britain is because that's what the majority want shaggy might live in Ulster but he speaks for the minority republican side. As I keep saying to him why they can't just live together and forget what went on hundreds of years ago is something I cannot or ever will understand
Another wholly inaccurate account of the events in Ireland from a man who thinks that one british life is worth 50 Irish lives. The same man who gave the response "So What" when questioned on the invasion of Ireland by Britain.
As others have asked I don't know what is worse, your ignorance or your arrogance.
The only person talking about forcing anyone from their homes is you. But then being a brexiteer, driving people from their homes probably appeals to you.
Such is your knowledge of Ireland that you feel that you are qualified to tell us what everyone in Ireland is thinking. Nationalist, Unionist, Loyalist and Republican. You conveniently forget to mention that tens of thousands of Nationalist Irish Volunteers also fought for the British Army in WW1.
Those Irish that emigrated to England didn't drive the people of Yorkshire from their land, declare it part of Ireland, rig elections and hail it as a victory for democracy. The subtle difference will probably be lost on you.
You don't know what you are talking about and you argument is driven by hatred, ignorance and arrogance. You are really starting to embarrass yourself.
