Act of Settlement under threat

[Rhyfelwyr]

Interesting so the reverse would be a person can come to Ireland and claim British heritage for himself and through this distort the politics over here however but it's not allowed back in the homeplace.

hmm very interesting indeed

Cuchullain was defending Ulster from Irish attacks thousands of years ago, we were these first!

OK just kidding you know I'm not that unreasonable from the Irish issues I talked about with you before, the Ulster Plantations were a whole different kettle of fish to 19th century Irish immigration in the other direction. For a start the early plantations were built on the crappiest uninhabited land and improved, why would the locals get angry about that. Plus there was no culture war with the actual settlers, most people don't realise they actually came almost entirely from Galloway, the last bastion of Gaeldom below the Highland line, they intermarried and got on fine. Why should they have any less right to claim native status than the Old English that they used to say were more Gaelic than the Gaels, or the Norse that built half of the Republics towns, or the Belgae tribesmen, or the Goidils that supposedly came over with Mil of Spain?

Because if you really want to go all the way back, the earliest people would be... the Cruithin!

It is precisely this kind of silly rubbish about conspiracies and the like that make the rest of UK laugh at places like Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Me I am gonna stay in the 21st century it's way cooler here there is DVD's and computer games with cool graphics, oven chips and the wonder of wonders the Internet.

Just don't take my place, I love it here. The problem is some nationalists don't realise this isnt' the 13th century, we aren't fighting the English anymore, they need to take at look at their passport because it seems they are a citizens of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", looks like the Huns were the ones at home all along.
