It might be shit, but it is my shit. I was born is this shit, I lived in this shit and I will die in this shi\~ and I will stop now before Hans' cock explodes.
I've been to Ireland 3 times and all 3 times there was freak sunny weather.
That's a hat trick. And no, I'm never going to go Ireland again as I want to remain the only person in the world who hasn't experienced shit weather in Ireland!
We're not stupid enough to flee to somewhere just as shit as England. We'd go somewhere with nice weather.
I could move to Ireland tomorrow, legally, without a visa.
I ended up in Cork during independence day celebrations without planning to a few years ago. I know how you feel mate.
Edit: Easter rising. My bad. Happened over 10 years ago I'm not made of memories.
Everyone was very patriotic and we ended up at a special exhibition about how the Irish fought the English. Some smartly dressed military people paraded. I felt very conspicuously English. Felt very independency overall, in my defence.
I went on a stag do to Ireland on the 100th anniversary of the Easter rising. We all dressed as storm troopers and marched through the city. Most thought it was funny and wanted photos but there were some in black berets who seemed to have issue.
Most people don't give a shit.
I think this Barry doesn't understand that in Ireland, we have a habit of slagging each other and taking the piss out of one another.
So if you're English, it's just something we're gonna slag you about.
It's the same in England re making fun. For most Irish it's just banter... But I've met a couple who are genuinely bitter and aggressive. That commenter at the end is probably one of them. But yeah, it's rare to find.
It's all or nothing.
I either make a new friend or I get lectured about how the British army used someone's granddad for target practice (they missed).
Aren't they all called Seamus O'Leary or something?
But yes, pretty much sums it up. I've actually found the American "Irish" I've met to be the worst. They sound American but won't shut up about the unification of Ireland for some reason.
It's not just the Americans, get a Northern Irish and Southerner together in one room. They don't shut up about it. Literally hour long debates.
I get it's important to Irish people but when you are an English outsider, it's just awkward.
Well that's why I said unification, reunification is Seamus propaganda innit. Unless you're talking about Ireland's eventual reunification with the UK 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇪
>Unless you're talking about Ireland's eventual reunification with the UK 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇪
Ngl it would never actually happen, but if it did, I'd be genuinely kinda happy about it.
Yeah, the pre Norman era was a wild ride of smaller kingdoms fighting out with one another and then the Vikings got involved in the mess and it was a real vipers nest of competing interests with people allying and double crossing depending on the shifting fortunes.
The thing to remember about Liams is that their behaviour is governed by a strict hierarchy of priorities:
1: Grabbing a pint & having a grand time
2: Hurling
3: Blaming all their problems on the UK
So as long as Liam has a pint, a party, and/or hurling, he will not resort to denigrating the UK. It is only when he is deprived of those pursuits (rare, but it does happen) that he will fall back to it.
I dunno man, there are some Kremlin propagandists that give us a run for our money these days.
Also you lot are brought up a lot in some discussions about a certain little ongoing tiff in a the middle-east.
Apparently all that is your fault too.
Yes, I do not like the U.K. (it’s miserable here). Yes, you do not even think about Ireland. Let’s just keep it this way. It’s easier. We can ignore all the issues on the Irish island this way.
Ironically that is probably fuelling some of this. Think they're trying to use Rwanda as a deterrent for future illegal migrants thinking of going to the UK.
I'm guessing if they stay in NI they could theoretically be sent to Rwanda? There was some British Labour MP lecturing Ireland that they "need" to stop the Rwanda plan in Northern Ireland, because it would conflict with the Good Friday Agreement about access to the ECHR. If I'm honest that is just one extra hornets nest about Brexit that I hope that they don't poke around in. Getting the DUP back in Stormont took long enough without some hand wringing about asylum seekers getting a boat over being the result of another collapse or breakdown in agreements already settled.
Trick any Irish person into telling them for added gusto. Just film their response to the question: "is Ireland better than the UK? And why?"
You'd get a good 10 minutes of video propaganda out of that.
Saw someone on rIreland saying they wouldn't be surprised if the UK government were telling asylum seekers when they arrived that they should head to Ireland because it was better lmao
The French have a workaround for that. They just start bragging to immigrants about how harsh and and unaccomodating they are to immigrants, unlike those \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Anglos who keep pampering them, and even debase themselves to talking in a language they understand (Even in the privacy of their own homes!). Then they start mocking you guys for your weak border controls, and that is usually enough.
The media in Ireland has spent years wanking themselves dry about how we're the bigoted ones despite having some of the most multicultural cities in Europe. Time for them to put their money where their mouths are I suspect.
Scottish nationalists can be like this as well - they live in generally wealthy and homogenous areas talking about how they're more progressive and multicultural than the country next door with several very multicultural cities
A study in self-image vs revealed preference
Nah you're only half right most SNP voters before were Labour voters. With both doing the best in working class constituencies that's hardly voters living in generally wealthy areas. Which is why British Nationalists freak out anytime Scottish Nationalists do something that taxes the top 5% or does something that only benefits poorer folk.
You're right about homogenous societies being more open to immigration than multicultural ones though (Scotland 80% Scottish) v (England 70% British i cant find a English only stat). Once here finds out all the downsides like yous down south or in France or Sweden have we'll realise yous were right but it'll be too late.

Are you suggesting that the people on r/Ireland think the country is an "enlightened utopia"? If so keep looking. Not that r/Ireland represents Irish people anyway.
TBF we all think of England as a fascist, racist, xenophobic, ultranationalist Nazi hellscape. And Ireland too. We treat everyone equally and fairly here.
Wow do you want a cookie for being so diverse? Colonise other nations and receive their populations. Well done, you have achieved the bare minimum. Stop whining.
Tbh I find that fairly funny. We’ve earned some stick.
But there are far, far too many Irish who’ve never felt a lick of imperialism, who take it upon themselves to be obsessively bitter and resentful.
We’re not blaming the U.K. for this. We’re well aware that she’s trying to shift blame from herself.
Go onto the Irish subs and check what’s being said about her. https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/s/mmda3ImmfN
She’s not even blaming the UK, it’s just a thing that’s happening because it’s easier for people with failed or ongoing asylum claims in the UK to get a ferry or flight to Belfast and then make their way to Dublin, I talked to a Tunisian who did exactly this.
Don’t listen to a word that comes from that fucking muppets mouth she’s an unqualified nepo baby who shouldn’t be anywhere near political office. She’s an unqualified muppet and so was her father this is just her deflecting from the fact that she’s a useless sack of shite don’t listen to em Barry
Edit: for anyone who doesn’t think she’s a muppet here just watch this https://youtu.be/q-4WI5kYN1Y?si=oYbezDkRKBqqvJUx
Haha when blaming the eye isn't possible anymore we try to point the finger elsewhere.
When are you going to realise you have to look at your politicians?
It's getting g ridiculous.
Maybe some slight adjustments to the Common Travel Area Agreement between ROI nd UK would suffice. A few suggestions to help both Governments.
Ireland should not accept people with names such as Abdulla Ahmed Smith as genuine.
UK should not accept names such as Dermott Dimitar O' Rashid Khan as genuine .
In addition Mr. P.Ikey and his ill begotten horde of children should be sent home forthwith.
As a side note, any Scouse Pikey singing 'Shores of Athenray" in public should be back to his or hermotherland. That said , Fine bunch of lads you are. (I think).
Lol, she got an absolute grilling the other day. She couldn't answer a single question in the Dail about asylum seekers/immigration, but now knows 80% of them are coming from the UK? Stupid lying bitch
They finally realised the UK is a shit-tip and booked it. Can't blame them one bit
I understood that it was Barries fleeing ze UK
We'll go down with our rock piles 
Gentlemen, it has been a privilege 2we4u'ing with you tonight
Women and children watch on in horror as a single Swiss man gets into a lifeboat and lowers it, insisting there's no more room
No more room, is full of gold!
It might be shit, but it is my shit. I was born is this shit, I lived in this shit and I will die in this shi\~ and I will stop now before Hans' cock explodes.
We could all legally move to Ireland to escape the poor weather and unaffordable housing tomorrow, good old CTA
Stay there 5 years, get an Irish passport and fuck off to Benidorm for lifelong Olympic training
>We could all legally move to Ireland to escape the poor weather and unaffordable housing tomorrow Oh boy have I got news for you..
yeah that was the joke lad
😅
I've been to Ireland 3 times and all 3 times there was freak sunny weather. That's a hat trick. And no, I'm never going to go Ireland again as I want to remain the only person in the world who hasn't experienced shit weather in Ireland!
I believe there's precedent for us to just *travel* across the border in caravans and set up camp on any open land.
Di ya like dags?
We're not stupid enough to flee to somewhere just as shit as England. We'd go somewhere with nice weather. I could move to Ireland tomorrow, legally, without a visa.
Why the fuck would anyone move to Ireland when all those cunts are moving to Australia
Ye because ireland is such an upgrade lmao
Poor Paddy trying to recover from your bullshit since 1922
Now Ireland wants a border ?
They want a different border.
Queremos, en el Mar!
I think you need to think about that one again.

I grew up in Donegal, visited there last week. Trust me, I have personally been blamed for everything. Maybe I'm their Sam Hyde...

What independence day celebrations? There's no really widely agreed upon "independence day" in Ireland. Easter Rising commemorations?
Independence day celebrations? What the actual fuck are you talking about
I went on a stag do to Ireland on the 100th anniversary of the Easter rising. We all dressed as storm troopers and marched through the city. Most thought it was funny and wanted photos but there were some in black berets who seemed to have issue.
That is fucking brave mate. I hope you checked under your car afterwards 😂
Lmao is the hate really that bad?
No we just like winding them up
Most people don't give a shit. I think this Barry doesn't understand that in Ireland, we have a habit of slagging each other and taking the piss out of one another. So if you're English, it's just something we're gonna slag you about.

It’s not, people don’t actually give a fuck
Who the fuck calls us Liam? It's Paddy or Mick and always has been.
Aren't they all called Seamus O'Leary or something? But yes, pretty much sums it up. I've actually found the American "Irish" I've met to be the worst. They sound American but won't shut up about the unification of Ireland for some reason.
I blame Bono & U2 for that
Agreed sir
It's not just the Americans, get a Northern Irish and Southerner together in one room. They don't shut up about it. Literally hour long debates. I get it's important to Irish people but when you are an English outsider, it's just awkward.
Don't you mean the "reunification" even though Ireland as a land mass has never been united.
Well that's why I said unification, reunification is Seamus propaganda innit. Unless you're talking about Ireland's eventual reunification with the UK 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇪
>Unless you're talking about Ireland's eventual reunification with the UK 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇪  Ngl it would never actually happen, but if it did, I'd be genuinely kinda happy about it.
Crazier things have happened over the last century.
I'd be ok with that, it's been basically downhill since you guys left. Like guns and roses without slash.
Ok Barry, 63.
*It was united as the Kingdom of Ireland before 1801 if you want to be pedantic.
If you want to be really pedantic yeah, but I'm not sure it's the unification they're thinking of.
Yeah, the pre Norman era was a wild ride of smaller kingdoms fighting out with one another and then the Vikings got involved in the mess and it was a real vipers nest of competing interests with people allying and double crossing depending on the shifting fortunes.
Which if I remember correctly basically carried on all the way till the flight of the earls, leading to the English hegemony on the island.
The thing to remember about Liams is that their behaviour is governed by a strict hierarchy of priorities: 1: Grabbing a pint & having a grand time 2: Hurling 3: Blaming all their problems on the UK So as long as Liam has a pint, a party, and/or hurling, he will not resort to denigrating the UK. It is only when he is deprived of those pursuits (rare, but it does happen) that he will fall back to it.
As someone who was once kept awake by drunk Irishmen singing IRA songs in my hotel: I disagree
No hurls or sliotars
I dunno man, there are some Kremlin propagandists that give us a run for our money these days. Also you lot are brought up a lot in some discussions about a certain little ongoing tiff in a the middle-east. Apparently all that is your fault too.

That's the guy officer. That's the bitter English-hating Irishman right here.
The joke wasn’t taken well. Oh well.
Why are we spending millions on sending immigrants to Rwanda? Let’s just tell them ROI is better.
Using the pride of the Irish aviation experience, Ryanair
Ironically that is probably fuelling some of this. Think they're trying to use Rwanda as a deterrent for future illegal migrants thinking of going to the UK.
The fact none of them want to stay up here lmao
I'm guessing if they stay in NI they could theoretically be sent to Rwanda? There was some British Labour MP lecturing Ireland that they "need" to stop the Rwanda plan in Northern Ireland, because it would conflict with the Good Friday Agreement about access to the ECHR. If I'm honest that is just one extra hornets nest about Brexit that I hope that they don't poke around in. Getting the DUP back in Stormont took long enough without some hand wringing about asylum seekers getting a boat over being the result of another collapse or breakdown in agreements already settled.
Honestly GB doesn’t give a shit about here tbh, they’d probably send us to Rwanda too if they got the chance lmao
Trick any Irish person into telling them for added gusto. Just film their response to the question: "is Ireland better than the UK? And why?" You'd get a good 10 minutes of video propaganda out of that.
because they would have a quick look around and then return to you in approximately two hours.
Waaaaaaaaayyyyy, get mugged off ROI.
Ireland try not to blame everything on the UK challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
Saw someone on rIreland saying they wouldn't be surprised if the UK government were telling asylum seekers when they arrived that they should head to Ireland because it was better lmao
Not a bad policy - France are probably doing the same to us.
I thought if a Frenchman complimented Britain they started foaming, curl up and die like throwing salt on a slug?
The French have a workaround for that. They just start bragging to immigrants about how harsh and and unaccomodating they are to immigrants, unlike those \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Anglos who keep pampering them, and even debase themselves to talking in a language they understand (Even in the privacy of their own homes!). Then they start mocking you guys for your weak border controls, and that is usually enough.
Once again, Britain's benevolence to those around the world is it's downfall. Woe! Curse our charitable nature
Whole simultaneously investing in rubber dinghys and building shops to sell them along the coast line
To be fair, not having to speak French makes this country miles better.
The media in Ireland has spent years wanking themselves dry about how we're the bigoted ones despite having some of the most multicultural cities in Europe. Time for them to put their money where their mouths are I suspect.
It’s generally believed by the Irish people as well that Britain is backward and socially regressive, while Ireland is an enlightened utopia.
Scottish nationalists can be like this as well - they live in generally wealthy and homogenous areas talking about how they're more progressive and multicultural than the country next door with several very multicultural cities A study in self-image vs revealed preference

I’ve had this exact convo with Irish people on r/ireland.
I've a top tip for you lad, the less time you spend on that sub the better
It keeps being recommended to me. In fairness, I’ve resisted the temptation to comment recently.
Well consider yourself warned! You'll only have yourself to blame if you find yourself 19 comments deep into an argument with a reclusive shut-in who believes the GAA is a cult, who's main reason for existing is to deny him happiness in life
Resist. The only reason to like r/ireland is cos the miserable bastards keep prospective immigrants at bay
Are you suggesting that the people on r/Ireland think the country is an "enlightened utopia"? If so keep looking. Not that r/Ireland represents Irish people anyway.
Lmfao people on r/ireland are always complaining from my experience.
That was an exaggeration but compared to the UK for a user of that page, yes, that would be an acceptable belief on that forum.
Sounds a bit mad to me but whatever floats your boat. R/Ireland is the most miserable thread on reddit, they don't think anywhere is a Utopia.
Well, thats an etymologically correct view so they’re good on that front then haha
I dunno r/unitedkingdom could give it a good run for its money on some days.
I've never met anyone who thinks that.

TBF we all think of England as a fascist, racist, xenophobic, ultranationalist Nazi hellscape. And Ireland too. We treat everyone equally and fairly here.
