The Island may be Ireland but a lot of the people LIVING on this Island AREN'T Irish or want to be ruled under the Irish flag. Thats all there is to it.

And I'm just trying to point out that whether divide or no divide, this is Irish and not British land, all of it, and it should be recognized as that, the North of Ireland belongs to the Irish, it's originally Irish, and it's natives will be Irish, whether people living there are British, or any other nationality for that matter , it's natives are Irish, it's just ruled by a foreign empire. In my opinion, that's all there is to it.

Just goes to show how sensitive the topic of Ireland and Britain still is.
I'm from the six counties and I too, would be insulted to be called British, I'm Irish, and this is still Ireland.

As a person from the republic of Ireland, I agree 100% with you. You put it very eloquently as well I must say.

and Keith, the province of Ulster also has counties which are part of the Republic in it so I would not class Ulster as British at all

I'm not trying to sound harsh but that doesn't really matter. 'Tough shit' is a term I would use here.

If I break into a house containing a family of six, evict the four children, kill the husband, and rape the wife so that she bears my child and then board myself up in that house - it does not entitle me to keep the house.
