It’s always telling when someone can’t call Ireland by it’s proper name. I stopped reading there.
And change the name of the country to West Britain???
Jesus, this is what our ancestors starved and fought for?
A bit early (or late) for an April Fools.
TLDR version: Cancel Irish independence and rejoin the UK.
In fairness to the fellow, if your only objective is to make Irish unification desirable by Unionists, this would be a way to do it.
If you remember that Irish unification on these terms would also require the consent of Ireland and of NI nationalists, it’s utter bollocks of course, which is why it’s amusing.
To paraphrase Frankie Boyle…
Joining the Commonwealth is like joining the WhatsApp group set up by your abuser.
No thanks.
So…finally leave the brits by being more British?
Wait am meant to know irish? Should I be unemployed
We should give up our flag, and replace it with one that is a mirror image of the Union Jack

Living here in England… in my opinion most British people don’t want to know about Ireland. They don’t know the history so they don’t understand why the issues exist, they think that the DUP are coarse, ranting, and unreasonable, they don’t like Irish republicans, Ireland doesn’t affect them directly so on a day to day basis they don’t really care, they just want the problems to go away, most not that bothered how the problems are dealt with, as long as there isn’t a return to violence. The anglicisation of Ireland – effectively what the proposals represent – would probably be broadly acceptable here if it solved the problems. Isn’t it Ireland’s turn to say ‘never, never, never’?
Why are we reposting comment sections from another website? This one provides enough shite opinions to keep things flowing
Never not at it.
“From the basement”
Yeah that checks out.
did jacob reese mog write this on his alt account?
Shouldn’t they put a “This is Satire” label on drivel like that?
Completely unhinged
I personally don’t want a United Ireland just for the sake of it.
If Northern Ireland want to join us, it must be on our terms. It would be a complete middle finger to those who have toiled for us to be free for us to bend the knee to British culture.
Britain started the longest war in their modern history in the North and only after would they even consider coming to the table with Irish Republican interests. Only recently have they recognised the Irish language. They have 0 respect for Catholics in the North.
Give the North the choice: they can stay in a Union with Britain who give 0 fucks about them or they can join us, but they do not get to call the shots.
This is just rejoining the UK with extra steps
As a disinterested subreddit member (American Jew,) I ask why is it incumbent on the political and demographic majority to jump through hoops to placate an intransigent minority?
It’s one thing to be respectful toward the eclipsed Unionists but it’s another to set more and higher barriers to will of the people.
Scrap the constitution. Genius. Why didn’t we think of that.
It’s strange that in these people’s heads the republic is the only side that should have to make any concessions at all. They expect us to grovel and accept terrible conditions for nothing in return.
In other words, become British.
Idiots!
Not that I agree with joining the commonwealth or any of that malarkey. But if theres ever going to be a United Ireland those kerb painters are going to have to be placated somehow.
We’ll need to offer them a few concessions along the way.
Maybe unlimited Pallets?

Why should we scrap the constitution? Why should the majority be held hostage by a far right lunatic fringe, who when they had power were more than happy to use to take away the rights of Catholics?
Hey, I’ve got a better idea that would 1. Give all of Ireland a real connection to the UK, 2. Have governing documents broadly acceptable to everyone, 3. Provide centralised supports for NI residents, 4. Guarantee freedom of movement, and 5. and 6. give NI students broader options to study in other places.
I call it “Brentry”…
