"Hang on a minute, scobey. I'm Irish. I'd just like to confirm that Dáil Éireann is bursting at the seams to proclaim Ireland as part of this ""British Isles"" thingmebobs. At this very moment Irish politicians from Jackie Healy-Rae to Brian Cowen are on the verge of requesting that Ireland be allowed join the British Empire - oops, the British Commonwealth. We, the Irish people, are just absolutely gagging to be British. Feck Tom Barry, Dan Breen, Seán Tracy, Pádraig Mac Piarais, Michael Collins and the very, very many others who stood up against the largest empire in the world. We, the Irish people, are just on the verge of crawling on our knees to the English Crown and liberating ourselves by proclaiming all the dead Irish who died for our freedom as traitors and the British as our freedom fighters. We've withstood Humphrey Gilbert, Oliver Cromwell and the Black and Tans but now we are about to cave in - just now. Get a fucking grip, lads: get a fucking grip. Even for Brits, you are thick as two planks about who the Irish people are and what they feel towards the ""civilising"" British. No change there, then. Censor this, but it does not mean that these views stop to exist or that you British, by your primacy on this board, legitimise your own views by denying the Irish theirs. Ireland will be free, and the British will go back to Britain.
