In one, Londonderry man Patsy Gillespie, a Catholic who worked as a cook in the Army’s Fort George base, was ordered to drive a bomb to a border checkpoint while his family was held hostage.
Gillespie and five soldiers were killed in the explosion, and the IRA tactic caused massive public revulsion.

However, Tone was dead (19 November 1798) long before anything remotely like argieland existed. Hundreds of years of association have satisfactorily shown that many Micks are pretty stupid. The “song” adequately demonstrates this. I am frankly amazed that this particular bunch of Paddys didn't accuse the English of seizing and occupying the Moon. However, argie and Irish intelligence levels are quite similar. The Irish, of course, have just enough intelligence to understand that the UK could wipe them out in about an hour. Argies “think” that 8,000 miles make a difference. Not anymore. The fleet subs advance to a range of 1,000 miles. The “bombers” (what the Yanks call boomers) sail to a range of 7,000 miles.

Little room to politically maneuver in that place. On a positive note in a few decades it should be in good repair to hand over to the new demographic.
Which is what consistent polls show the people of G.B to want - NI out of the union.

Jun 19th, 2014 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Indeed. The Falkland Islands, and Northern Ireland are, today, effectively “loss making” ventures.
This just highlights that current UK domestic and foreign policy is not always guided by purely financial concerns but often revolves around doing the right thing and honouring our commitments. For example, not letting a bunch of would-be imperialist thugs annex and destroy a small island community under the flimsy pretext that it might have been stolen from their predecessors almost 200 years ago.
Remind me, who declared war on who in 1914 and 1939? The UK declared war on Germany and her allies in both, not the other way round. In 1939 this was, in the first instance, to honour its commitments to Belgium in 1914 and much of Europe in 1939.
Argentina sold us food, thanks. Most of the Irish who fought in WWII likely didn't fight for Britain but fought against the Axis.

Falkland's adventure. To listen to you it only happened a few years ago !
Your English is faulty. It was NO adventure. It was claiming an uninhabited group of islands belonging to nobody at that time, until an upstart load of ex Spaniards tried to steal it as they have been trying to do ever since..
If the UK wants to “subsidise” parts of it's geographical population then that's the way democracy works.
Has Argentina a better model ? Well if you call getting International loans and refusing to pay them back, I suppose your country would say YES PLEASE.

Jun 19th, 2014 - 06:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just because some people consider themselves N.Irish first and British second doesn't mean they are any more likely to vote for a UI so your selective quoting of the data hides the reality which is that only 4% of people in N.Ireland want a United Ireland now, in fact 3.8% to be precise. Asked if they want one in 20 years time only a fifth say yes (a third if you exclude the don't knows). Given that NI is already at religious parity, should the figure not be close to 50% for those who want a UI now? Only 47% away.

So if you are a little simple, then accept my apologies and don’t read further. If you aren’t, then here we go AGAIN!
Your claim:
“Which is what consistent polls show the people of G.B to want - NI out of the union.”
Wow! Another Wikipedia graph.
But what did the graph show? That in 2000 after the Good Friday Agreement there had been a consistent INCREASE in support for NI to remain part of the UK.
In 2003 – 55% of Britons thought NI should united with RI with a CONSISTENT drop after that.
I went to the source material:
http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200006
Here are few facts.
In 2012, 64% of Northern Irish supported staying part of the UK and only 15.5% wanted reunification with the Republic.
In 2012, 66% of Northern Irish said the NI would be very or quite unlikely to be part of the RI.
In 2012, 76.5% think the monarchy is very important or important to the UK. Only 5.3% think it should be abolished (that one was gratuitous because of your republican wet dreams).
As for your Youtube clip? Did you listen to it? It stated that “54% of the population found a united Ireland acceptable”. How people go from finding something ACCEPTABLE to your wanting NI out of the union is as usually only explained by the voices in your head.
You seem to have great difficulty with the English language. Just because people support the idea of, or find acceptable, a United Ireland, does not equate to the wanting NI out of the union.
So your ‘proof’ did not show that Britons want NI out of the union. Just that they would accept a United Ireland.
Your homework is to look up the definition of ‘contextomy’.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/poll-just-38-want-a-united-ireland-29584149.html
What is particularly interesting is that 42% of Catholics who expressed a preference opposed a UI either now OR in 20-years and less than 20% of them wanted it now. So it will take more than demographic change to remove the border. Gerry Adams predicted a UI by 2016, he's got 2 years left. He should have taken a leaf out of Timerman's book and gone for a rolling 25-year prediction.

Jun 20th, 2014 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 040 - Long post but I see little substance.
Beginning: Ad-Hominem. (again) Yawn.
Next up: The graph is indeed on wikimedia, among other sites, its source is ... oh yeah, the British social attitudes survey, the same source you go on to link to.
GFA took place in 1998. For the two years following there is in fact increased GB support for united Ireland.
Saying that there is a consistent downward trend from 2000 onward is mostly true, although its not contiguous, theres a reverse in numbers for 2002-2003.
In any case from 2000 onward to the end of this graph support for a united Ireland remains as the majority preference for the people of GB in all but 1 years.
(incidentally the year that Ireland enters major recession, indicating a well reasoned/thought out/informed survey)
There is indeed a consistent drop after 2003 and an overall downward trend, however for 19 of the 20 years examined there was majority support in GB for a united Ireland.
15 of those same years had the support of more than 1 in 2 Britons.
With the 'dont knows' at times almost equaling the 'remain within UK' preference.
Your 2012 fact, although interesting, is for a different topic. You have moved from the preferences of the people of GB to the preferences of the people of NI.
(pls provide better link)
This after questioning my statement on the preferences of GB.
Why not stay on topic.
Next you move to the subject of the monarchy, another change of topic.
(Incidentally I have little issue with the monarchy within Britain)
Youtube clip: A 'united Ireland' and the alternative 'northern Ireland within the union' is kind of a mutually exclusive situation.
While in academic terms there is the likes of a federation or other unknown alternative setup I think its safe to say that it was a 'NI in or out of the union' question in this case.
That aside you can refer to the first graph by itself as evidence.
Don't be shocked that Britons have this opinion.

Jun 20th, 2014 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Half of Britain votes left of centre - for parties that traditionally supported a UI, (though Labour has softened its position considerably from its pro-UI position in the 80s to its current GFA-consent position).
Half of Britain votes right of centre - for parties that are generally pro-Union but who want to transfer less wealth from rich areas to poor areas and who reckon the Tories would get in more often if Scotland and NI left Westminster. Therefore it is little surprise that more than half might state that view. However the 3 main parties support the GFA and will not be expelling NI any time soon, even if they wanted to which they can't. In reality, most people consider NI too small to worry about. Status quo.

Of course you don’t. I keep trying to tell you that you are not as skillful as you think you are. The fact that I am about to teach you the meaning of two different logically fallacies means I am not surprised that you saw little substance in my post.
I will assume that yawn was because you didn’t bother looking up the meaning of contextomy. Because you just repeated the exact logically fallacy AGAIN.
I am not surprised considering you don’t know the meaning of ad hominem. Let’s use your favourite Wikipedia shall we.
“An ad hominem… in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author …”
“Abusive ad hominem usually involves attacking the traits of an opponent as a means to invalidate their arguments”
So no it wasn’t an ad hominem. Because I effectively demolished yet ANOTHER one of your claims and arguments by resorting to facts, not because of who you are or represent. That was in addition to my argument.
Contextomy “is a logical fallacy and a type of false attribution in which a passage is removed from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its intended meaning. Contextomies are stereotypically intentional…”
You keep claiming that support for a united Ireland proves that “consistent polls show the people of G.B to want - NI out of the union”.
The proof you have offered does NOT prove nor support your claim.
Support for a united Ireland DOES NOT equate to Britons wanting Northern Ireland out of the union.
That is not the question in your proof.
That is not the answer in your proof.
That is just your inference based on nothing other than your own logic.
You have not shown proof of your claim.
You have not shown proof that Britons want Northern Ireland out of the union.
You have shown proof that Britons support a united Ireland.
For some unfathomably reason you think the two sentences above say the exact same thing.

“You have shown proof that Britons support a united Ireland”.
Jun 20th, 2014 - 07:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Indeed. And a united Ireland necessitates N.I leaving the union.
Or does it not ? Do tell.
This is an intentionally simple poll. A spectrum with the neutral 'dont know' in the middle, and two opposing, mutually exclusive options at either end.
Its black and white really. (ok ... with a little 'dont know' grey bit)
One vote option is 'unify with the rest of Ireland'. Thats at one extreme.
(obviously to do this requires leaving the union).
The single opposing option given to the voter is that they prefer NI to 'remain in the UK'.
Whats the effective polar opposite of 'remain in the UK' in this instance.
Well that would be 'leave the UK'.
Have you ever been told, or told someone that you do not prefer that they stay.
Or told someone you'd prefer if they were some place else.
Obviously they're not going to be in that other distant place without first leaving now are they.
Its a politely worded survey, unfortunately that may challenge certain categories of people.

It doesn't matter how you keep trying to twist it, the facts your presented do NOT support your claim.

Britons support a united Ireland.
Northern Ireland would have to leave the union to be part of a united Ireland.
Britons want Northern Ireland to leave the union.

Cheating will help my team win a game.
Therefore I support cheating.
I have made no such claim. That is a supposition.
I could as easily claim that Britons support annexing the Republic of Ireland. That would mean a united Ireland with Northern Ireland still in the union.
Unfortunately you cannot disagree with my claim without disagreeing with your own.
You have failed again. Run along; until your next unsupported claim.
The British public in general don't give a flying fcuk whether NI is in the Union or not...they have been nothing but trouble to the RUK...

In your given scenario this would obviously be a redundant option, as it would never leave.
Perhaps the answer is that the people in this survey want a united Ireland without NI ever leaving the union. Perhaps.
I think 'The Voice' sums it up eloquently in his opening rant.
Grammatical nuances and mere breadcrumbs aside, NI serves as an example of how outmoded, ill fitting and damaging the old system of sub-dividing or franchising out of government really is in the modern era.
National level decisions shouldn't be left in the hands of the few, especially when theres obvious self interest involved.

It just so happens that sometime the interests of the few coincide with wider national values, interests, and considerations, such as for example expelling invasion by a vicious military dictatorship, standing up to bullying by a corrupt 1930s style demagoguery, or closer to home resisting a tiny terrorist minority attempting to bomb a million citizens out of their own country and into another one.

Ireland dropped its irredentist claim to the North from its Constitution as part of the Good Friday Agreement. Garrett Fitzgerald had previously declared a United Ireland wasn't worth a single death, a brave and decent statement for any Irish politician to make. Argentina has a lot to learn, as does Vestige.
Ah Hans, Theres always more to learn.

“as of 2008 ... In total, the British government subvention totals £5,000m, or 20% of Northern Ireland's economic output.”
(7 billion these days according to alliance party figures)
Ive read that this subvention equates to over £4,000 for every person each year for those within NI.
A kind contribution from the GB taxpayer to all of those people on the given map/link who dont even consider themselves British.
Rounding the subvention down to 6 billion, and rounding the GB population to 60 million, you sir pay 100 pounds per year for the honor of having NI on your books.
Given the political demographics (rough 60/40 political split)
I'd estimate you, Hans, individually, pay approx 40 pounds per year to an Irish republican. We'll call him ....mmm .... Gerry.
How nice of you.
Im sure they've got something for you too.
