Great to expose it though. But I get your point.

You could also argue the British Isles were also partitioned to keep the Republican minority happy and set up a Catholic state for a Catholic people.

Indeed you could, but that would be a very, very stupid argument

(Love the way you've now latched on to the term British Isles to try and imply that we were all British, that and "Home Country" )

But would not trip off the tongue as easily, and would not be the geographical name these islands around the world have been known by for centuries. It is a geographical term, not a political term.

An archipelago is a geographical term for a group of islands so it is basically the North West European Archipelagos

Well, unlike you, who has over 20,000 posts about the dastardly British, I do not have the time to be posting 24/ 7, and I have more to do with my life. Rest assured though the EU / Leo will be the ones putting a border up in Ireland. Wait and see;)

Ha Ha,you got schooled on the Brexit thread and then scurried off to the Irish language thread going on about killing off the language and about there will never be a united Ireland.
Seems like you have plenty of time.

Go home and breed for Ulster instead of trolling because your engineered majority has become superslim,and put them kids through education instead of blowing the money on flutes and lambeg drums.

Like Ulster the Irish Province on the island of Ireland. Do the Brits know we own the entire Irish sea?

Your post is a good example of why there will not be a United Ireland. We do not want extremists from either side down here.

Well if you keep voting for nationalist parties you'll speed up reunification. Here's another tip, it's easier to get a rise out of someone if your posts are easier to take seriously.

People have been voting for nationalist parties eg FG, FF down here for generations, and it has made no difference to unification (the only time Ireland was United was when we were with the British ).

Depends on how you view the term 'united'. All the countries invaded and occupied by the British were occupied not card carrying members of some club. There was no vote to seek membership. United in being victims of british butchery.

The only party listed here as 'nationalist' is Sinn Fein.

Anyone can put anything on wiki. Maybe other parties feel that Sinn Fein has tarnished the image of nationalism.
Even FF "the Republican Party"?

And yet you use it to try and make a political pont(badly as usual) Unless you think you can partition these islands geographically ? (Hint, the sea kind of does that job !)

How can something be something it has never been called?

The geographically accepted lexicon for these islands is the British Isles. It has been known as that for centuries. The geographically accepted lexicon for this island is Ireland. It has been known as that for centuries.

Neither label has any political connotation.

No it isn't an accepted term. Your own government don't recognise it as relevant any more. Even the British government gave way to that on the GFA.

It is used as a juvenile way by defenders of the realm and partitionists though, I find.

surprised this post wasn’t reported or highlighted. Appalling comment to make on the anniversary of the first day on the bloodshed in Derry 50 years ago. Actually sickening.
Unionism though. Yay exclusion and family days out at the bonfire.

Hmmm an Archipelago means an extensive group of islands.

What is here in the North Western Europe not attached to the main continent?

An extensive group of islands

Are we really resorting to some petty schoolyard nonsense about a retired and debunked term on some old maps? Is that all you have left my unionist friends? Really?

Yes, basically that is what they are doing, aligning themselves with some lovely Brexiteers in the process.
Read some of the reactions on this tweet.

'including Éire'

This seems wrong to me. British is anyone born in the British Isles, any of the 6000+ islands, including Èire. Great Britain is the main island. The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. So southern Ireland is not part of the UK, but still British.

You must have little to do if all you can do (when not posting here) is trawl through thousands of comments on British media and pick out one. The word "Eire" was on our stamps and countless other things, so we can hardly abuse foreigners if they use the word the odd time.

You should read the comments.

I wish all unionists in NI would. It’s a scathing ugly but honest view of how normal brits see NI and everyone in it loyalist or catholic.

Full of depressingly ignorant often bigoted and woefully informed opinions.

So much for the precious ‘union’

Thousands? It's only 20 or so comments in.

Thousands
