  1. I typed in the title and couldn’t find the Quora link. What were the answers like? Surely some entertainment to be found there

  2. Looks like he’s an English lad pretending to be Irish. He has another answer explaining how the vast majority of Irish people in the South prefer partition…

    I don’t know, in the last few months I’ve been noticing this tactic more and more.

  3. Typical moronic English view of the world. God forbid his ilk would look inwards at his own country’s democratic deficit.

  4. As much as I strongly disagree with the guy and think the EU is the best ting to ever happen to Ireland full stop.

    His opnion was actually shared by my grand mother at the time of Ireland joining the EU and after. she was born in 1918 and rembered the last British troops leaving Ireland (all be it a foggy child hood memory) but still it’s interesting to see that some people alive during the time actually did hold that veiw even if it was ABIT daft

    She also loved Dev so ya know take of that what you will

  5. Gonna rant, but Quora is full of this shit, people asking “questions” which are really just troll statements to fan anger and hate in the little insular communities on there.

    “If black people only make up 30% of the population, why are they in 99% of ads” was one I read the other day. The yanks in the answers didn’t take two lines to devolve into an “inferior race” circlejerk.

  6. Sothern Ireland? It’s just Ireland or the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland but there is no such country as Southern Ireland, Fuckin ignorant pricks

  7. The difference is, the E.U. treats Ireland as part of the club – the Brits treated us as ass-wipes. I wonder if you’re smart enough to figure out stuff like that?

  8. On Quora, there are a lot of anti-EU trolls trying to stir up resentment. I don’t wear a tin foil hat but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of Putin’s misinformation campaign is behind some of it.

  9. I’d vote for a unified Ireland if the referendum came up tomorrow. Not that I particularly care if the North joins the Republic, but it’s one of those cultural things where the expectation is just to vote yes, despite the political turmoil that will follow for decades thereafter.

  10. He also doesn’t seem to know that we joined the EEC because the UK joined the EEC we had to as the UK was our main trading partner.

    Also before 1916 there had been a peaceful push for home rule in Ireland supported by Protestant and Catholic parties.

  11. No one from Ireland calls it ‘southern ireland’, this lads obviously some kinda shit stirrer from elsewhere.

  12. He fails to realise that one ‘union’ was forced onto Ireland and its people and the European union was…wait for it…voted for by the Irish people. The Irish people did not vote to be apart of the British empire/UK they did however democratically vote to be apart of the EEC now the EU. One union was an oppressive monster, the other union is a friend that promotes peace and cultural identity.

    European Union any day hands down.
