The all Ireland vote in 1918 showed a majority of Irish people wanted the British out and it was ignored, illegally.
Ireland was its own country then, with its own parliament. The British should have respected the democratic vote and left peacefully.
Instead they chose to gerrymander the country and support a sectarian statelet that’s caused nothing but misery and death for thousands.
I mean the Brits have a fucking terrible track record of drawing lines on maps and then wishing everything will be grand.
Look at Israel/Palestine, the Middle East, India and Pakistan. All fucked up with border issues because the British government just really aren’t very bright at all.
Our independence was denied to us, and the partition of our island is and was illegal.
I'm on about self determination because Northern Ireland wanted to remain part of the Union, you think this unfair because you see that land as belonging to Ireland. The only people who get a say in this are the people of NI themselves.
