Re: The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis

I agree that Unionists are not Irish but unlike you I believe that this is what they have chosen- not necessarily what they are- almost as a genetic truth as you imply. Also, despite everything I believe that we are not an island on its own in the Atlantic-we're part of an archipelago. . Just wonde...

Re: The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis

It could be argued that England only became united in reality just before 1800. There were lots of wars/rebellions (listed below) in England against the Kings/Queens of England. 1075 1088 1135 to 1154 1173 to 1174 1215 to 1217 1264 to 1267 1321 to 1322 1381 1455 to 1485 1569 to 1570 1639 to 1653 16...

Re: The reunification of Ireland - news, history, debate and analysis

Where's the demand for a border poll down here in the Republic?? It's not exactly top of the agenda, if anything it's a long, long way down peoples list of priorities.

I'm not sure there is much learning to be done. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of unionists can and do live alongside nationalists every day.
