The Irish that live in Northern Ireland are Protestants, they have the British Army there to protect them. Britain doesent occupy the place for fun (although admittedly, we have in the past). The Catholics have their own republic, i dont see what the problem is really.
And Britain needs oil as much as the US, thats why Blair pushed us into the war. It was wrong, we could of made some deals for oil without invading Iraq, but i dont think Blair did it just because the US told him to. Look at the trade wars where the UK has sided with Europe for evidence that Blair doesent always side with the US.
I hate Blair as much as the next man, but shit with some truth behind it sticks better than conspiracy theories.
If you believe the Brits should be expelled from Ireland, what are you going to do with them, their homes, and their livelyhoods? Offer then new lives in the USA?

Why not?DONT INSULT THE BRITISH YOU BASTARD
In the late 20th century and especially the turn of the 21st, the Roman Catholic Church was hit by a series of allegations, many substantiated, concerning sexual abuse of children under the legal age of consent1 by priests, nuns and people employed by the Church. Well-publicized charges that the Church in some instances deliberately covered up such crimes have fueled criticism of the institution and its leadership. While not every allegation stood up to scrutiny, an extremely large percentage did, resulting in apologies and restitution by the Church and the criminal prosecution of some of those who engaged in the acts.
The Irish government closed the last one in '96 you know.In many countries supposedly fallen women were abused in Magdalene Institutions. The worst known cases were run by the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland where conditions amounted to slavery.
Seriously though, the C of E population in the north were well aware of what 'integration' with the south would mean and they didn't want it.
Oh, is it an error.? Most of the time i don't have a clue on what the hell is your point. No wonder none noticed that there is an inadvertant error.tiassa said:I do actually see, as I review the topic, an early error of mine that unfortunately nobody has specified; I attributed the judge's position to a relative of a victim. I'll have to edit that when the storm calms.
tiassa said:Well ... let's see ... when the Americans expelled the Brits, the Crown went and the people stayed.
Did that really not occur to you, or are you just being obstinate in order to give yourself a reason to have a problem?
Vienna said:As for Blair - he is Americas puppet just as every Prime minister before him. It has got to stop, we have more than repaid all the favours to America. And don't forget that America financed the terrorists in Ireland.QUOTE]
What about Churchill?

Phlogistician said:You said you agreed with expelling the British. The _people_ are British, and they want to be governed by a British Government! That is why loyalists act against the IRA for christ's sake (not that I agree with those acts).
Do you not grasp this! . . . .
