  1. There are no 'British settlers' in Northern Ireland. The Scots are actually Irish settlers who in ancient times were known as the Scotti. The Irish Scotti invaded Alba and changed the name from Alba to the Land of the Scotti, or Scotland. So those 'settlers' in Ireland were just the irish returning home. However, all the peoples of these islands are related, as we all moved around them, long before they became seperate nations .

  2. ​ @ivanconnolly7332  The Irish population has been pretty consistent for hundreds of years. Therefore, it's rather disgraceful that you should compare the real and ongoing genocide of the Palestinians to your no existent imaginary one.

  3. The first King to settle people in Ulster was the Scottish King James VI in the 17th century long before Elizabeth the first . You missed out the Viking colonisation of Ireland. Dublin was founded by them as a slave market for English slaves. The English were then also colonised by the Norse Vikings under the leadership of King Canute and later by the Norman's and it was the Normans who colonies Ireland, not the previous conquered English. William's conquest of England was a very brutal affair that only started in 1066 in the following years he instigated the genocidal Harrowing of the North. Though one good thing William the Conqueror did in the 12th century was to ban slavery in England.

  5. ​​ @patrickcarey7692  I wasn't 'ring roading' Patrick, I was just updating some of your previous historical statements. Because our present 21st century is built on previous centuries, so it's all relevant and no time has ever been really wasted.

  6. The only thing rediculous about Brext was the need to have it. We should never have been taken into the EEC/EU dictatorship by Heath illegally in the first place.
