I believe Ireland will be the last stronghold in Europe in the fight against islamic jihad. If it comes down to it, you may see the migration of the “Wild Geese” back to their ancestral home to defend it.

I hope you are joking.

If not, then:

The Ulster Protestants have been in Ireland since 1607, BEFORE the Mayflower landed in America.And if you know your Irish history, the settlers from Scotland were themselves descended in part from the ancient Cruthin/Pretani who settled ancient Ulster from what is now Western and South Western Scotland, whose descendants under King Fergus ruled an empire which until 500ad ruled Ulster and parts of (what is now)Western Scotland, and famously came back to Scotland in around 500ad.

So through shared history and at least 400 years of settlement in Ireland, the Protestants and British have every right to stay where they are thanks...follow the ‘logic’ of that famoua argument,and you will have every white North American coming back to Britain, Ireland and Europe.

Sorry, but all these Irish Americans who say the Protestants or British should ‘leave Ireland’ ignore two things:

a—the real history, not the psuedo-romantic tosh spoken of in Boston bars...

b—what the people of NI and SI want.Any future is theirs, Catholic and Protestant. And the VAST majority of Catholic NI’ers want NI to remain part of Britain and do so every election. Donr let the Sein Fein/IRA PR fool you....

The peoples of Ireland and Britain have moved the Irish debate on. It seems only the Irish Americans are stuck in some timewarp decades if not centuries behind us...

There is no such thing as a ‘native Irish’.....even the Celts were invaders,the Vikings, Danes, Normans, English...all the Irish have the blood of invaders and conquerors.
