Ireland disliked that.Not really. Ireland would be annoyed to be included.
That's the point?
No, Ireland is excluded and would want to be. Northern Ireland, is included as part of the UK.
Unless op meant northern Ireland would be upset? In which case they would probably be more annoyed at not being recognised as a country or entity themselves. Sure, some don't want to be part of the UK, but they recognise the reality that they currently are and their country is called Northern Ireland. This map recognises that and seems inoffensive to Ireland (Republic of Ireland).
I wonder if they actually meant the British Isles rather than the UK
Oh, for sure, but for a moment, there was certainly a lot of trouble deciding who Northern Ireland belonged to.
I'd wager there are still plenty of people there who'd secretly still love to see a united Ireland. Is that opinion popular? I dunno. I don't live there.
But hey, Kinky Boots is a fun song.
There are a lot of people that feel strongly one way or the other, it caused quite a bit of trouble a while back...
Capital T for trouble
Going by opinion polling in Northern Ireland, it has been roughly half No, a third Yes, and the remainder Undecided for quite a while
If the IRA kicks back up my genes will awaken like a fucking sleeper cell
Fucking plastic paddy
American?
Oh cool, domestic terrorism. How fun and quirky of you
It was for a good cause
I don't think the Omagh families would agree with you.
