For those of you who are content to remain a region of Britain.........

For those of you in the North who are content to remain a region of Britain ( and every opinion poll ever took on the matter suggests that there are a huge number), consider what good old BBC Northern Ireland are doing for you on St Patrick's Day.

Our National Day is being celebrated by BBC NI by not showing a single programme that has got anything to do with Ireland, St Patrick, Northern Ireland even, Irish Music, Culture, Heritage, even an Irish Film.  Nada, Nothing, Nil, Zilch.

Here are a selection of some of the things that they are showing on St Patrick's Day,

- Dads Army
-Escape to the Country (Norfolk)
- How God made the English (A Chosen People?)
- Arena: The Dreams of William Golding.
and last but not least

- CROMWELL (Epic retelling of the clash between Oliver Cromwell & Charles I)

I'm not taking the piss about the Cromwell one, they are actually showing this on St Patrick's Day.

I went to a SF Uniting Ireland conference recently, and was quite disapointed because their route to a united Ireland was quite vague, and wishy washy.  I wish that someone at SF HQ would sit down and draw up a list of 10 things that the ordinary man on the street can do.  Ordinary people like me and you can do to bring a united Ireland closer, quicker.

But on the other hand, do the BBC show lots of Klu Klux Klan programmes on the glorious twelfth?

Nah, what I find amusing is the insistance by unionists that our national flag is banned on St Patricks day, in case it might offend those of a british persuasion. But there cant be enough butcher aprons being waved in your face on the twelfth.

Britain is an island, and no part of the island of Ireland has ever been a part of Britain, no matter how magical it can be.

I think an unwillingness to accept the outcome of the democratic wishes of Irish people is exactly what characterises Unionists.

Who do you want to be governed by?

Correct.
(Great) Britain = England, Scotland & Wales
UK = Britain & Northern Ireland/D'north/Occupied 6/Ulster x 0.6666666666666666666667

De black north?

+ 1, I am sick to death of explaining to people that while Northern Ireland/6 counties of Ireland or 15% of Ireland is in the United Kingdom no part of Ireland is or ever has been part of Britain/Great Britain.

Back to Castlebar! (The 1798 Republic's capital), Kilkenny!, Tara perhaps!
