What the hell happens here?

What's the deal with Northern Ireland?
Do they truly see themselves as British or do they wish to join the republic?
If they held a referendum asking to leave the UK would it be honored?
What do they think about the EU?

Redpill me about this place.

Southern irelanders chimp out at the prospect of a land border. British peace keeping force tries to stop them, gets chimped on.

The violence is from the south then? Are the northerners cool with a hard border?

It's complicated. Basically broadly speaking the North are protestant and the South are Catholic. But, there is still many Catholic in the North and many protestants in the South.
naturally, as these two groups worship the same sky God in ever so slightly different ways, they want to kill each other.
A natural solution to this would have been to allow freely all catholics to live in the South, completely separate from the protestant North. But the Irish can't fathom the idea of moving 2 miles down the road to live in peace and harmony with their fellow faith and instead stick strongly to their ancestral potato fields even though everyone around them wants to murder them.

Why does the UK even want Northern Ireland? I doubt they're a net economic contributor. Is it really just the Anglican church that keeps them loyal?

Then what's it about? I genuinely want to know.

U must be blind,they would NEVER kill one another because of fking religion

>as these two groups worship the same sky God in ever so slightly different ways
Roman heretics do not worship God, they hate Him.

British soldiers spontaneously explode there

most based part of the UK but unfortunately it is right next to ireland which is the worst part of the UK

>If they held a referendum
They can do that anytime they like

noticed

British doing what British do best, stealing land, occupying it and then oppressing natives, then the natives get mad, start guerrilla war so the British can call them terrorists and baby killers

Found the shit skin

We don't...

Your state was just made up as a buffer to Germany. You literally wouldn't exist without the UK.

We want our country back.

Well, at first it was out of desire to protect white people from violent southern who kept trying to kill them.
Now, I think we just do it to Keep Southern Ireland upset.

Why? I mean really. What's there that you want so much...

Why doesn't the UK just hand the north over? It doesn't seem like England wants them and Ireland does. Simple solution.

Some paddies want to ignore the right to self determination. They think that because they have American friends they can get away with this stance. I'm not too sure the septics are as friendly anymore. Loyalists all seem to be idiots too. Both sides saddled their horse to an issue that seems irrelevant now, it generally makes then look like LARPing faggots from the outside.

I traveled to Scotland a couple years ago and met a northern Irishman. He asked me where I was from (NJ) and and when I told him he loudly said "oh that's near Philadelphia, bunch of COONS out there"

I laughed

thats belgium you dolt

Genius solution. Maybe you should pursue a career in diplomacy.

The North don't want to.

>British education

They were ready to kill for Falkland Islands so why not for NIR.

This post is probably the only thing actually more retarded than the politics of NI

Mate VOC were much worse than The East India Company.

Because 50% of the population are protestant loyalists who want to stay British

~10% of the Catholic population used to identify as British, although that might have changed recently due to Brexit

>Ireland wants them
No, they don't. Northern Ireland is a net drain on resources. Ireland couldn't afford to keep northern Ireland, but because of Britain's large economy it can afford to keep them. As soon as the north gets handed over, and the Irish Republic can't afford to pay for all their shit, the Loyalists will chimp the fuck out and start blowing busses full of Catholics up again. It's better for the people living there to keep it how it is currently.

Its about ethnic groups my guy. We tried to colonise Ireland but nobody wanted to stay because it's a shit place to grow things. Only the Scottish stayed who became the bulk of the protestant population in the north. The protestants are naturally alien to Ireland and are /ourguys/ because they are British if you go far back enough on the family tree
