@CavanUlster @P_Soisialach No. The term united kingdom was used in the 1707 Act of Union with Scotland.
English
Okay some of you are not understanding my point at all. Green as a country = Kingdom of Great Britain. This is because Ireland WAS the United part of the United Kingdom. No Ireland=no United Kingdom
Poblachtach Sóisialach 🇮🇪@P_Soisialach
A genuine pet hate of mine is alt history mappers who call Great Britain “United Kingdom” despite the -United- part of the name only existing because of Ireland.

@marcosagusstinn Maybe start with having the same electric plug to see if even that’s possible.

Europe must become a single state of 500M people.
1. Common capital markets
2. One regulatory system
3. Mostly energy independence (renewables + nuclear + electrification)
4. Unified army & foreign policy
5. Common industrial & tech projects
Because the pieces are already there:
- UK: 2nd biggest financial hub. 2nd largest hub by assets under management. Global leader in FX & derivatives.
- Germany: 3rd largest economy. 2nd largest trade surplus in the world.
- France: Global leader in nuclear energy, nuclear-armed military power, aerospace leader, and Europe’s leading agricultural powerhouse.
- Spain: Renewable energy power + Massive Latin America influence (diplomatic + investment)
- Italy: Manufacturing & exports
Fragmented, Europe is weak. United, it’s a superpower.
How to become one ↓

@DerekHolly7 There are still unionists in NI who actually believe Irish people didn’t farm until the British arrived.

The colonial machine claimed the Gaelic society that created these works of art was inferior.
You will still find people who look down on the language, traditional music, the songs, stories & people.
Decolonising involves respecting the native heritage.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS FOR MY AMERICAN FRIENDS.
British by discovery, British by settlement, British by blood.
First sighted by Englishman John Davis in 1592 and first landed by Captain John Strong of the Royal Navy in 1690 — 126 years before Argentina even existed.
Britain founded Port Egmont in 1765. The islanders today are overwhelmingly of British stock — English, Scottish, Welsh, and Ulster descent — speaking English, flying the Union Flag, and identifying as British in every census.
When Galtieri’s junta invaded in 1982, Thatcher’s Task Force sent them packing in 74 days. British losses: 255. Argentine losses: 649 dead, over 11,000 surrendered as prisoners. The cruiser General Belgrano alone took 323 of them to the bottom of the South Atlantic.
In 2013, the islanders voted 99.8% to remain British.

@Swiss____Tony @Potatoe_Waffles @robjd239 @afneil It’s called Dual Citizenship. Automatic by birth under UK and IRE law subject to parental clause.
English
@Potatoe_Waffles @robjd239 @afneil Yes I know that you can choose and that’s up to you but how can two people born in the same hospital on the same day to the same parents have in theory totally different nationality? Is that not nonsense ?

“Smell the alcohol”?! Wow. I wonder what she thinks it will be like when she and the Greens get their way and legalise heroin? Also, she says that, unlike MPs, she doesn’t think bankers would have a drink then go back to work. What planet is she on?

"You can smell the alcohol when people are in between votes." Green MP Hannah Spencer tells us what Westminster is REALLY like. The full interview is live on YouTube, and as a podcast here: linktr.ee/howtorebuildbr…

@robjd239 @Potatoe_Waffles @Swiss____Tony @afneil NI is dual citizenship region. People are automatically born Irish and British citizens (subject to parental clause) by law. That’s obligatory.
Under the GFA people can identity as they wish. That’s optional.
And legally recognized.

@therealmissjo The Republic of Ireland population is able to vote in UK General elections!
Absolutely nonsense.

Top 5 EU countries showing migrants as a % of total population
🇮🇪 Ireland: 23.3%
🇦🇹 Austria: 22.7%
🇩🇪 Germany: 21.2%
🇸🇪 Sweden: 20.8%
🇧🇪 Belgium: 20.2%
Ireland, looks like you are screwed.
And so is the UK since Republic of Ireland population is able to vote in UK General Elections.

@DanaTweets2 @chrisadonnelly You can’t force fake unity on people.

@CavanUlster @chrisadonnelly United Kingdom, unionists, unionism, United, union flag. Unity together. Four states as one. The United Kingdom

‘Who decides what history looks like in public.’
That nails it.
So much of our political instability is rooted in political unionism’s desire to ensure its worldview & culture is exclusively affirmed in our shared & public space.
Put simply, it wants to go back to the Past.
Suzanne Breen@SuzyJourno
From the H-Blocks to City Hall. As the 45th anniversary of his death approaches, the Bobby Sands' statue story is about much more than metal, masonry & planning permission. It raises key questions about who in NI decide what history looks like in public. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comment/opinio…

@mooreholmes24 Terrorism is terrorism whether committed by the state or anyone else.
English
A troubling exposure of the dangerous and warped mindset within Republicanism.
When Jon rightly condemns terrorism, and the continued glorification of it, instead of reinforcing it, and using your platform to discourage it, Chris chooses to deflect, equivocate, and manufacture a desperately weak false equivalence between IRA terrorists and British Army servicemen.
Republicanism is stuck in the past.
Chris Donnelly@chrisadonnelly
Both crass & cynical. If Jon *truly* believed violence was always wrong in the past, he’d condemn Britain’s centuries of violence inflicted upon Ireland & the anti-democratic creation of NI under threat of violence. Then he’d deal with eulogising perps re British Remembrance.
English
@ckernohan @chrisadonnelly 👆leaves out state terrorism and hopes no one will notice!
English
Even the supreme leader of Sinn Fein disagrees with Chris - the Headmaster - who still lives in a Republican terrorist echo chamber!
It’s time to move on Chris. And stop your sectarian nonsense!
Terrorism is wrong (both Loyalist and Republican) and nobody in Norn Iron wants this garbage. People want to move on but we can’t while assholes like you try to justify the actions of terrorists!

Jon Burrows MLA@JonBurrowsMLA
The justification of terrorism of the past & the eulogising of perpetrators is part of the problem. It emboldens those who justify it today. Sinn Fein need to stop riding two horses & say to the entire republican community - violence is always wrong - past, present & future.

@rcf14a @Nigelhg @paulmurphy68 Ireland has never been British. That some oddballs like you desperately want the Irish to join your imaginary club is both bizarre to watch and always hilarious but you really do need to find someone else to shout “you’re British” at.
English
@CavanUlster @Nigelhg @paulmurphy68 The Brits have been in Ireland for longer than your family can trace its Irish ancestry back most likely. Over 1000 years. Ireland is British in all but name. Sadly, the population has always been thick and easily brainwashed.

A number of years ago the Orange Order were allowed to march down Union Street in Aberdeen. The local Trades Council asked union members to come out & turn their backs on them. They did in their thousands. The OO didn't come back: x.com/BBCScotlandNew…
