Have you told Ireland that?
Check the Sinn Fein vote in the South. It's low (slightly higher now that every other party has disclaimed NI, and SF seems to have disavowed terrorism). You think the south wants a large minority of murderous, drugrunning thugs and bigots becoming parasitic on its economy?

Transplanted Brits, right?
Wrong... mainly Scots (ancestral Picts, in fact, blood brothers to those in NI) with a few Dutch - hence 'Orangemen'.

We were the first (in 1775).
Think you'd have done better as a Spanish colony? Cast your eyes southwards...

And it took you another 130 years to find a way out?
It was 70 years before enough of us had the vote to make a difference. Then we had to hammer sense into the inbred, which isn't fast.
But also true, even we weren't perfect. We advance by knowing this and admitting it <hint>.

vrai = true

We'll piss off whomever we please, thank, ou.
Then go well covered, for soon you shall find them pissing on thee...
