I blame stupid Americans who don't know the difference between England and Britain.
For a start, the Protestants of Ulster are mainly of Scottish stock.

When Scotland and England were joined by Parliamentary Union to form Britain, we inherited Scotland’s only colony..,Ulster. Scots out of Ireland!! Happy to be proved wrong if my history is incorrect. |

It's always been ok to fund Terrorists in Ireland & Afghanistan (Mujahideen) or create them in Iraq (Daesh) according to some Americans.

The age old issue...if someone invades British territory then lets give them a jolly old bashing ie the Falklands Fine for the UK to claim other countries in brutal ways though then call them terrorists for wanting their own country back Jolly bad show |

With a Protestant majority in N Ireland it will never happen in our lifetimes I would say.I often use the example of say the French invaded the Channel Islands, how would the British react? I think we know the answer to that but very much a case of double standards |

I think we know the answer to that but very much a case of double standards I think we, the British, would say that the residents of the Chanel Islands have a right of self determination and that if the majority wish to become self governing they should be allowed to do so. Same too for the people of Gibraltar, Same too for the people of the Falkland Islands, Same too for the people of Northern Ireland, Same too for the people of Scotland, and so on and so on. But, if the majority wished to retain their affiliation to Britain, we will see to it that their wishes are fulfilled. In fact, the only people the British government seems to not believe in self determination for are the British themselves. But that’s another story. |

If the people of N Ireland wished to reunite in a peaceful manner I am quite confident that we would have little or no objections.
With all the religious bigotry and political power grabbing from politicians on all sides it is most unlikely to happen.
As for 3/4/5th generation Irish Americans? They don’t have a clue what they are talking about and I would not give their opinions the time of day.

Must be one of the world's hotspots for bigotry and seriously poor politicians. The Irish are wonderful people but they have the shittest taste in politicians. |

Do you want a list of countries the British have occupied and butchered tens upon thousands of people in ? Will swap you those specs for a huge pair of patriotic tinted binoculars |

That's a good question. Ian Paisley called for the Protestants to rise up and fight if ever such a scenario happened and so back to square one I would think as long as that mindset if instilled in people and it certainly is |

We were in the dark Satanic mills, potbanks & pits. Before they found foreigners to exploit they exploited us. However, the Irish immigrants to Australia abused their indigenous people like dogs, as in America... |

I'm certainly not going to feel any guilt over something that occurred before I was born, just as the modern generation of Germans have nothing to do with the Third Reich. |
