I'm proud to be Irish, and I'm proud to be British. I'm proud of my ancestors who along with our English, Scottish, and Welsh brothers helped build the greatest empire the world has ever seen. It's time to end this pointless division and this pretence that we are somehow a different nation, when we are culturally and genetically identical to the UK in almost every way.
I'm also sick of republican propaganda portraying us as some sort of nation of rebels, when the vast majority of Irishmen were always loyal. 200,000 brave Irish patriots fought for their king and country during The Great War. 1000 scum traitors stabbed their own countrymen in the back during the cowardly terrorist insurrection of 1916, and guess which one we commemorate? That's right, the latter. We throw parades in their honour, while the former are completely ignored, and any Irishmen who dares to question the revisionist historical narrative is slandered and denounced as a "westbrit". Well guess what? I'm proud to be a westbrit.
POBLACHT NA hÉIREANN THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE IRISH REPUBLIC TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND
IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN: In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.
Having organised and trained her manhood through her secret revolutionary organisation, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and through her open military organisations, the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army, having patiently perfected her discipline, having resolutely waited for the right moment to reveal itself, she now seizes that moment, and supported by her exiled children in America and by gallant allies in Europe, but relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full confidence of victory.
We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Irish people. In every generation the Irish people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty; six times during the past three hundred years they have asserted it in arms. Standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms in the face of the world, we hereby proclaim the Irish Republic as a Sovereign Independent State, and we pledge our lives and the lives of our comrades in arms to the cause of its freedom, of its welfare, and of its exaltation among the nations.
Justin Bell
he Irish Republic is entitled to, and hereby claims, the allegiance of every Irishman and Irishwoman. The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien Government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past.
Until our arms have brought the opportune moment for the establishment of a permanent National Government, representative of the whole people of Ireland and elected by the suffrages of all her men and women, the Provisional Government, hereby constituted, will administer the civil and military affairs of the Republic in trust for the people.
We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of the Most High God, Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, inhumanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline, and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called.

Yes.

you're almost as insufferable as the scots, that's what i mean. cromwell didn't go far enough.

Be careful what you wish for
Henry Cook
The British Isles do look much better on maps under one nation.
Ian Perry
A secret: the Crown never acknowledged giving up sovereignty of Ireland. Yes, they recognize the heads of government and state, but HM still "owns" the Republic in a feudal sense.
Lucas Rogers
wrong that was ratified in the 1930s
Jaxon Evans
Same thing with the United States.
Zachary Bailey
>Not free merely, but Gaelic as well; not Gaelic merely, but free as well.
you have to go back
Dominic Gomez
I say join us if that's what the majority want... I always found it disappointing that I can't get along with many Irish simply because I'm from the uk (England)
Nathan Reyes
Both nations already have that right idiot.
Jason Bell
Thosr treaties acknowledge Ireland's independent governance, but don't end all Crown feudal claims to sovereignty. And don't forget based Pope Adrian:
The Irish need British leadership and assistance sometimes. It benefits both. Look at how many Irish have immigrated to the U.K. in the last 100 years.
Aiden Thompson
UK citizens have always had the right to live and work in Ireland...
Austin Hughes
>(((Cromwell))) >invites jews to England >slaughters Catholics throughout the British Isles
There will always be racism that separates us. That's why ireland should remain independent. Any attempt at british governance will only result in favouritism and possible repeat of genocide.
Nathaniel Price
Surprised our government hasn't taken advantage of the passport-free border crossing we have with Ireland to just send 10 million Anglos over there who would then vote to reunite the British Isles.
Cameron Johnson
Yeah but they still have different passports now, that would change.
Colton Murphy
>invites jews to England Unwise choice. >slaughters Catholics throughout the British Isles Makes up for his previous wrongs.
Owen Kelly
Good... No-one wants a gay arse pope
Camden Rogers
by that logic, the uk lost the casus belli and crown when they abandoned the roman church
Levi Jenkins
ive always considered the irish as a part of us. civil war across europe will unite us all
Ryan Reed
may i direct you to and ya limey cunt
Blake Morgan
By the time of the Reformation Papal permission was no longer necessary. By feudal reality, Ireland was a Crown Dominion by then.
Christopher Robinson
Honestly OP I'm surprised to see an Irish person saying that, especially on Jow Forums considering most Irish people here are still butthurt about the whole thing.
Ryder Butler
Sounds like redcoats need their ass kicked again Never forget there are more Irish in the US than Ireland, fucking bong nigger
Charles Ortiz
>Irish Flag >Bong
Hmmm
Carson Robinson
Fuck off West Brit. "Some sort of nation of Rebels" They Irish have rebelled dozens of times against the foreign rule of absentee landlords and thieving anglo filth. Never again will we be under the British jackboot no matter how much you want us to be. The Irish who fought in the Great War done so because they were either unionist UVF or they were Irish Nationalist who feared yet another foreign occupier (Germany).
Brandon Thomas
dublin was always home to a unionist aristocracy. That posters ancestors didn't starve in the dublin lockout.
Cooper Gray
Nice flag
Ryder Murphy
>Own goal
Jason Wood
>Never again will we be under the British jackboot
Kek, you're posting with a British flag.
Jace Scott
The Irish are brilliant. I've worked on building sites all over the place and the Irish have never given a fuck about where anyone is from.
Jack Lopez
You’re under it now. GTFO you cretin turd.
Nolan Thomas
Go down to your local right now and say that shit loudly to get a gauge on the level of public support for your proposals
Ayden Collins
What do you produce in Ireland?
Easton Robinson
>I'm proud to be Irish, and I'm proud to be British
Logan Walker
I'm OP and I don't really believe any of that, just curious to see what reaction it would get
Eli Evans
Great craic and Guinness. Also have more multinationals headquartered here than any other county
Zachary Torres
Ireland has done exceptionally well outside the UK. Way better than e.g. Austria has done outside of Germany. Joining the UK would probably be the most stupid thing ever,
Cameron Perry
Gimme hug ya daft cunt
Carson King
What ireland needs to understand is that they will be used by the eu as a stick to beat us with, much like the auld allience between france and the scots. Irelabd under the united kingdom would be as wales is, basically left alone. If it stays in the eu it will be the lever by which the rest of the isles become balkanized. The eu arn't your damn friends - theyre fucking using you and has done way more than the uk to undermind your democratic process. I dont understand how you can be an irish republican and for the eu.
James Martinez
what does it matter? we're all governed by the same cunts from the same circles for the most part, doesn't matter whether the pantomime takes place in london or dublin. i like 'west brits' though, you are decent people for the most part.
David Nelson
Why can't you just join the UK and we'll all go off and join another trading union and get out from under EU legislation?
Brody Reed
Look at the pull the DUP have right now with UK government, it's not like you'd have no voice and be exchanging being ruled by Brussels for London.
Blake Sanchez
You do know the ira was against ireland joining the eu?
Nathan Kelly
Absolutely excellent thread. Ireland should absolutely return to the United Kingdom.
RULE BRITANNIA BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES BRITONS NEVER NEVER NEVER SHALL BE SLAVES!!!
oh actually no I was looking at Irish. Still not far off considering we have London and Birmingham.
Joshua Scott
Our population is 4.7 million, vs your 66. You have more shitskins than our entire population. No way we're letting you in
Nolan Gonzalez
The Eu are going to make you embrace brown people.
Chase Phillips
I still think keeping 87.2% white British after making an empire around the globe and then joining the EU, 87.2% is actually pretty good all things considered.
John Lewis
I've revealed already that I don't really believe what I posted. But the here's the hard part: I absolutely would be in favour of the United Kingdom, if it was to be a Union if equals. But instead it has historically been English cultural imperialism. You destroyed our noblehoof and our laws, robbed us of our traditions, our language, all that made us a nation to begin with. You weren't satisfied until we were made into nothing more than little clones of yourselves. If you only you had treated us as your equals rather than Barbarians to be civilised, your brothers, rather than your subjects, there never would have been any rebellions to begin with. Ireland and England to this day could be the greatest allies. But you chose this division and conflict, not us.
Brayden Howard
Yep. Needs to happen. (((They))) we’re behind the (((Easter a Uprising))) anyway. You’d have to be completely blue pilled not to have realized that by now!!!
Nolan Collins
Double win... all the Irish Americans leave and DNC voter base shrinks by 30%. How great would it be if Massachusetts only have 2 electoral votes!
Colton Gray
England's is probably around 70.
>including NI
Anthony Martinez
>Also have more multinationals headquartered here than any other county
So you’re like Delaware?
Jacob Ward

Camden Morales

Easton Clark
Your choice here is between wealthy tech bindis who watch football from the UK or FOBs with 6 wives and a Quran via Merkel.
Hunter Harris
I'm an Irish lad up north. I like English people and Scots and the Welsh too. All good dudes. But it wud be best if Ireland was reunited. Also Id like Ireland to somehow subsume the unionist culture into itself and enter a new phase. Then we'd be able to join the commonwealth again. If America was involved then it could get interdasting.
Nathan Miller
Ireland has always been used as a trojan horse by foreign powers on the British Isles as a buffer to Britain's disproportionate global power. Ireland will only be able to consider re-joining the UK when the UK is no longer a major power and foreign parties are no longer interested.
Foreign parties who have pushed, supported and encouraged Irish separatism:
- Catholic Church and rival Catholic nations such as Spain and France - United States with its large Irish population - Germany during WWI and WWII - Soviet Union and other Communist nations and groups - and now the EU
Even if most Irish voted to re-join the UK in a referendum, foreign powers simply wouldn't allow it or would push an artificial republican coup and any British intervention would be denounced as an invasion
Colton Thompson
No thank you, Ireland is sprinting past Sweden in the race to kill their nation, We are in a terrible way as are many other western nations, but Ireland has out-Swedened Sweden in only 15 years and their progress is accelerating, nah, you're fucked and if we are to have any chance at all we'll have to sever all ties with the Irish land mass.
Robert Moore
White British need to have way more kids
Isaiah Diaz
Most of the immigrants in Ireland are Eastern European, and if they decide to stay, their kids will just identify as Irish. Literally nothing to worry about.
Cooper Adams
You are joking right? Oh god you don't know do you? You have no fucking idea, shit, lokk just forget about it, it's fine, seriously forget I said anything, go back to sleep it's all going to work out fine.
Lincoln Ross
I’m fine with this as long as I get a ginger wench of my own. A 5/10 at least too!
Julian Myers
this, everyone fuck off break up the union fuck the queen
You're probably more British than most people in London. As Ireland consists of four provinces, these Islands consist of four nations and we are a family of four. Come home my Irish brothers and sisters, you are family - always have and always will be.
Look at the stats yourself >Irish 84.5% >Other White 9.1% (European, British, probably some Americans) >Total White 94.3%
And those "Other White", their children will be born in Ireland, have Irish accents, will be given English or Irish names, will be Christian and will identify as Irish (same thing they do in Britain and all Western nations). The way people go on about Ireland you'd think it was 40% black muslim or something.
Jeremiah Cox
You don’t have a choice at the moment. Even outside the EU we’ve got our own freedom of movement laws.
Andrew Murphy
All major British Cities seem to becoming minority white shitholes like American cities
Brayden Peterson
>wants to be British Then fuck off you West Brit cunt.
Caleb Barnes
>the rest of the isles become balkanized Stop I can only get so erect. I'd cum instantly if Cornwall became independent too.
Xavier Jenkins
>Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom. QUICK VOTE IN PAJEET!
Michael White
We never voted him in, the party did when it changed leadership.
James Morales
Eire & Albion, together at last.
I'd unironically be fucking thrilled with this outcome, the Irish have a tremendous culture, and they're our closest brothers in Europe.
bluepilled as fuck. Can you not realise how many problems this would solve? UK would be so much easier to work if we had all of Ireland alongside us properly.
