@tsu8003 American's aren't pretending to be Irish, they're Amercian - when they say they are Irish they are referring to their heritage, as you well know. The very reason these people are American is because of a previous time the British shafted the Irish, and they don't forget that. 'Pathetic', indeed.
Your defense of the British empire is laughable, ignorant and not unexpected. The letters of British commander Jeffery Amherst indicated genocidal intent when he authorized the deliberate use of disease-infected blankets as a biological weapon against indigenous populations during the 1763 Pontiac's Rebellion, saying, "You will do well to try to Innoculate the Indians by means of Blanketts, as well as to try every other method that can serve to extirpate this execreble race", and instructing his subordinates, "I need only add, I wish to hear of no prisoners should any of the villains be met with arms."
At one point during the famine in Ireland, a member of the British establishment boasted in the newspapers that a native Irishman will soon be as rare on the western coast of Ireland as a native American is on Manhattan island.
And there you have it, that's your 'Great' empire for you.
Lying arsehole.

@Porkcylinder It looks like my post did not go down well. Hold a mirror up to certain English and this is the kind of response you are going to get. Let's take a look:
'yes that’s right if you want to play semantics and skew the facts you can make figures say anything you want but I thought you were a real person not some c*nting robot or politician.'
You think I'm a bot? Facts are fact mate, the proportion of the Irish population that was born in Britain (mainly England) is higher than the proportion of the UK population that was born in Ireland. It was not always like that, but is has been since about 2000. It has been increasing since Brexit.
'You’re in no position to make your sneaky thinly veiled threats anymore Great Britain is leaving and if need be on WTO'
Nobody cares. Seriously, since Ireland won on the backstop issue, nobody cares what the English do to themselves, it is not our issue. You voted for it, you live by it.
'We don’t need to take advice from anyone least of all the Irish.'
You badly need advising, but England is in the thrall of an incoherent nationalism that makes it think it needs nobody. We will be there to pick you up when the penny drops.
'We know you’re just trying to agitate to break up the UK along with you spiteful chums in Brussels . '
Oh please, the English are doing that by themselves. The British Demos is in decline, and we know from the last GE in December that it was won by English, Scottish and Irish nationalisms. With the English dictating the futures of the Scots and the Irish because they are comfortable with democratic deficits when it suits them, it will in time lead to the break up of the UK. People just aren't into that level of weapons-grade hypocrisy anymore. The English need to grow a pair, admit they are a nation, and become independent of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You cannot hide behind your neighbour's forever. Think of how much money you would save!!
'Sorry boys it ain’t happening get used to it.'
It started with devolution over 20 years ago. Brexit is just the second stage, the English acting out in response.

@Unknown-pi5ll #so you admit 70 million Irish people still haven’t returned to Ireland .'
I'm beginning to see why The Sun is the biggest selling newspaper in the UK.
'If Ireland is so great they would returned by now'
Why? They made the countries they emigrated to great. But many of them are Irish passport holders
'Actually they left because of the potato famine which was a natural disaster it was caused by A disease called late blight it’s destroyed the leaves and edible roots of the potato plants'
About 2 million left during the famine. While the failure of the potato crop was natural, the famine was caused by the British government's response to it, wedding as they were to placing Irish people ahead of the economic doctrine.
'We saved as many ethnic Irish people as we can from genocide by allowing them to escape to America and move in the UK mostly Scotland because of that there is 14,000,000 ethnic Irish people currently living in the UK mostly Scotland .'
Genocide? I never mentioned that the British government committed genocide, that's your doing. However, the famine was characterized by the response of the British government. In the summer of 1846 the British government fed three million people efficiently and cheaply, but then withdrew it, declared the famine over and allowed the Irish to starve. The British government did not 'allow' people to escape, and most of those who did, did so using their own resources.
The famine in Ireland was manmade.
