Battle of the Boyne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediapeople in northern ireland are descendends of english colonizers only. they stole that land, the original irish are a small minority in northern ireland.
The Battle of the Boyne (Irish: Cath na Bóinne, IPA: [ˈkah nÌªË É™ ˈbË oËn̪ʲə]) was fought in 1690 between two rival claimants of the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones – the Catholic King James and the Protestant King William (who had deposed James in 1688) – across the River Boyne near Drogheda on the east coast of Ireland. The battle, won by William, was a turning point in James' unsuccessful attempt to regain the crown and ultimately helped ensure the continuation of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland.
The battle took place on 1 July 1690 in the "old style" (Julian) calendar. This was equivalent to 11 July in the "new style" (Gregorian) calendar, although today its commemoration is held on 12 July.[1] William's forces defeated James' army of mostly raw recruits. The symbolic importance of this battle has made it one of the best-known battles in British–Irish history and it is a key part of the folklore for the Orange Order. Its commemoration today is principally by the Protestant Orange Institution.
See as went on USSR case. Russia inherited most of USSR things,as nuke warheads, embassies, UN seat, scientific bases on Antarctic.Good luck to Scotland, hope they vote for independence! Wonder what will happen to the UNSC seat of "Great Britain" when Scotland separates. Will it go to Scotland or stay with "England and Wales" or better, be abolished?
Ahh, but ultimately USSR collapsed.People think political correctness and madness is democracy. And that is exactly where UK is going. They are ready to accept anything in the name of "freedom of speech, action and thought".
Rather than allowing them to vote, they should technically do a USSR and trample those who ask for separate country. But alas! Years of supporting separatism whether in Bosnia, Kosovo, J&K and a hell lot of African countries is now getting their Karma back to them.
When ours begins here... 2 years later.When is voting ??
By saying "doing a USSR" I meant the use of brute force.Ahh, but ultimately USSR collapsed.
In the end Economics matters.
Bloody Sunday (1972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaBy saying "doing a USSR" I meant the use of brute force.
It is not like UK hasn't done so.
UK in the 60s had fired on a group of unarmed protestors in northern Ireland seeking to rejoin rest of the Ireland. All were killed.
Can't recollect the incident's name though.
Bloody Sunday (Irish: Domhnach na Fola)[1][2]—sometimes called the Bogside Massacre[3]—was an incident on 30 January 1972 in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland, in which 26 unarmed civil-rights protesters and bystanders were shot by soldiers of the British Army. Thirteen males, seven of whom were teenagers, died immediately or soon after, while the death of another man four-and-a-half months later was attributed to the injuries he received on that day. Two protesters were also injured when they were run down by army vehicles.[4] Five of those wounded were shot in the back.[5] The incident occurred during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march; the soldiers involved were members of the First Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (1 Para).[6]

My Reply :-
the reason you suggested the domino effect is by looking at the map without having a knowledge of the hidden demographics !!
the welsh population is a mere 3 million and composed of many english families who "migrated " there centuries ago but still consider themselves english and not welsh ...they would certainly NOT be in favour of any form of independence
the same is true for N ireland -many english and scottish families there - who hold to their original ethnicity and loyalty
i know that because among other reasons, i have lived there many years and spoken to many on this issue
the main and indeed ONLY contender for independence would be scotland - they have a large enough population of more than 5 million homogenous not mixed as in wales or N Ireland to form a nation immediately , have been in "the business of it for about FOUR decades ", have had a separate parliament for a long time , hold a fair bit of resentment against the colonialism of their nation and have resources including North Sea Oil to back their assurance of prosperity after independence , not to mention having top class universities , a separate scottish pound , a separate bank of scotland etc etc
i dont see the other joining in on the act , talking about it sure , but actually going for it no way - only scotland ...so there will not be any of your suggested " domino" effect even if scotland decides to leave the Kingdom.
Oh , btw i almost forgot - many thanks to member Lurkerbaba for an interesting thread !
The English are getting desperate... to allow 16 year olds to vote in referendum.
British teenagers will get vote 'through the back door' - Telegraph
No.. they are largely the descendants of Scottish colonizers actually. Look up the Ulster Scots.people in northern ireland are descendends of english colonizers only. they stole that land, the original irish are a small minority in northern ireland.
i am surprised at how you read English - is it your first language ? - please point out to me whereThe Welsh population is indeed 3million; but you seem very confused. I don't understand why you think the majority are "English colonisers" who think of themselves as English. This is not true.
so please tell me, where did i use the phrase majority ...etc ?the reason you suggested the domino effect is by looking at the map without having a knowledge of the hidden demographics !!

I apologise if i misrepresented you. Since you seem very defensive I'll seek to clarify.i am surprised at how you read English - is it your first language ? - please point out to me where
in my original post did i ever write that, as you incorrectly quoted:- "the majority are English colonisers" ?
either your ability to read in English is suspect - or you're the one who's confused ?
here is my entire original post again in case you had confusedly read some other post and thought it was mine :-
so please tell me, where did i use the phrase majority ...etc ?
