Ireland disliked that.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 48 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Not really. Ireland would be annoyed to be included.

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's the point?

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Oh cool, domestic terrorism. How fun and quirky of you

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was for a good cause

I don't think the Omagh families would agree with you.
