Edward Carson a hurler from Dublin.

@powzer100 Doesn't make him a bad person does it?

[aclockworktoastie]

That's nonsense. "Great Britain" is an island - there is no adjective to describe that. "British" indicates something pertaining to Britain - of which Northern Ireland is indeed a part.

It is not a dependency - a dependency is an external territory (renamed British Overseas Territories) outwith the UK. Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK.

em ACTUALLY ulster is in the "BRITISH ISLES" so therefore can be called british.

Lord Edward will be looking down from above at these comments with disgust. He wanted to create peace yet there is yet no calm

[gunrunnerx]

@crotchdonkey I didn't. What part of NO are you having difficulty with?

[crotchdonkey]

@gunrunnerx You just mentioned British Ulster as a province. Does British Ulster still exist as a province?

[gunrunnerx]

@crotchdonkey Provinces no longer exist in reality they only exist in the tiny minds of bigots the rest of the world has moved on.

[crotchdonkey]

@gunrunnerx then what province is donegal in?

[cuntylishus]

Rabble rabble rabble...rah rah rah. Lots of ill-informed opinion here. Let the Northern Irish people decide their own future.This is an unresolved conflict where looking to the past is often more harmful than looking to the future. As an outsider, I think it's brilliant that Sinn Fein and the DUP can share a political platform these days. Fuck the dissidents on both sides.

@TomBarry192I And with typical Nationalist dedication to "democracy", you are purporting to speak for them all?

[royalcourtier]

@TomBarry192I Nothing is evitable, except perhaps that the Irish will always be fighting each other. I was watching The Life of Brian the other day, and was thinking how the infighting between the Jewish rebel groups exactly replicates what is still to be seen in Ireland. The Jews never did expel the Romans, and once the Romans withdrew the Jews lamented bitterly - most of them were killed or "converted" to Islam.

@TomBarry192I The short answer to your silly comment is to quote from Wikipedia: "The British Isles are a group of islands off the northwest coast of continental Europe that includes Great Britain, Ireland and over six thousand smaller islands".
