Why don’t you suggest this to the master of stupid ideas, Nigel Farage.

His “base” Will believe him!

Because he's not a farmer. And it's not a stupid idea. It's brilliant.

incorrect.

the overwhelming majority of Ireland voted for independence in 1919. To use your logic.......Imagine if the Brexit vote managed to carve up England into Regions leaving the EU and regions staying. Yorkshire going one way, and London the Other.

"Northern Ireland was created to address the deep political and religious divisions on the island of Ireland, primarily to protect the Protestant-majority community in the northeast that wished to remain part of the United Kingdom. The partition of Ireland in 1921 was intended as a compromise to balance the demands of Irish nationalists seeking independence with the concerns of unionists loyal to the British Crown."

They got their independence, but just like Hamas, it wasn't acceptable. Vile and as oppressive to the people that voted against it as you consider British rule to have been. If you are Northern Irish catholic then you could've just moved.

It wasn't a referendum JAT

what ? like away from a place your family lived for thousands of years ? you sound like Mountbatten doing the genocidal bodge of Partitioning India/Pakistan.

sounds like the 400 AD Anglo-Saxons calling the Celtic Britons 'foreigners'. "why dont those Celts all just go back to where they came from"


anyway...........flags.

many eventually did. They got burned out of their houses by Loyalist fanatics in 1969.
