So your political reasoning is to keep it as a silly little monument to your once great empire?

Poor England. Here. Take Northern Ireland. Take the republic too! You guys need it more than we do!

America is ancient history. The english helped build America. Thats a different story. It was ages ago , not relatively modern history. As far as I know , Canada and Australia are both happy to be part of the British Commonwealth. Northen Ireland is a different story. There is some clear resistance there for the past..oh I dont know...100 years?
Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain, Southern Ireland is independant. Why should it change for gods sake...
Because its originally Irish for christ sake! Your reasoning here baffels me. I would not mind if you were logical about it.

Theirs no political agenda behind your posts. To you , Wales , Scotland and Northern Ireland are what , dumb little trophys in englands decreasingly sparse trophy cabinet?

The all-island Kingdom of Ireland (1541—1800) merged into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801 under the terms of the Act of Union, under which the kingdoms of Ireland and Great Britain merged under a government and monarchy based in London.Ireland wanted to be part of the Union, Then 100 years later the majority wanted out but a massive percentage,especially in the North wanted to remain part of the UK so a partition was put in place.
Ulster is and forever will be part of our wee Union.

Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain, Southern Ireland is independant. Why should it change for gods sake...Does it really matter. Im sure they are used to it by now. If they have been complaining for a 100 years, then whats wrong with another 100 years? at least Gerry Adams and co are doing something to aid the peace process God knows what like. 'Im sure they just tell us what they want us to know' . I was only using Great Britains ancient past of owning other countries as an example of how far we got and how little we are now. Even less now we are part of Europe.
Gerry Adams isn't aiding the peace proccess much at all, infact if anything, he may even be blcoking the path! For Gods sake, he used to be a terorist, they even dubbed his voice out on a news report at one point! It was Mo Mowlam that did literally everything to move NI on. Unfortunatly, she died a few years back and never got to finish the proccess. I mean the two highest memebers of Stomount (Paisly & McGuinnes) won't even sit properly beside each other.

As for it not mattering... maybe the 30 years of troubles, bombing, shootings and riots should answer that one

You'll find that Scotland is also having problems with being part of the UK. They have also been trying to gain independace and they have their own parliment.

If England didn't want to see them as trophy's it would probably have been on its own a long time ago, but they keep trying to clench onto what little they have.

Because, In my opinion it will be forever.Sadly and personally i know the IRA murdered many people and im glad they have now realised the bomb and gun is not the way forward.Maybe if the IRA hadn't of reformed in'69 it may have been an all Ireland a long time ago but no Western Goverment will backdown to terrorism.

How is it Englands fault?It was the N.Irish Unionists who were the sectarian ones.I'm not denying that the Catholics of N.I were made to be second class citizens what i was trying to say is if the IRA had fought a political battle and not a war then maybe there would of been an all Ireland back in the 70's but i just can't see it happening now.

Well, if England never bothered 'Conquring' (or rather snatching) NI, and left us as we are as one country, theres a massive chance that groups such as the IRA and other terrorist groups would never have formed.

And as some other members mentioned, England bullied, tortured and masacared their way into getting Northern Ireland on their ever shrinking empire.

It wasn't snatched or conquered it was agreed.

The all-island Kingdom of Ireland (1541—1800) merged into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801 under the terms of the Act of Union, under which the kingdoms of Ireland and Great Britain merged under a government and monarchy based in London.
Northern Ireland wasn't even an issue back then.

You need to make your mind up on whether being a nationalist is smug.You call me a smug nationalist but here you say people with Nationalist ideas are not smug.
