What I meant was the troubles started in the late 60s due to the british government treating the irish in N.I as second class citizens. The good friday agreement in 1998 supposedly put an end to the conflict but the brits have gone right back to the same way again. They only look after areas where people vote for pro-british parties and the irish communities are left behind. Hopefully Brexit will lead to us leaving the UK and joining the republic but either way it's going to get real bad in the next few years.
Nah, I disagree about Northern Irelanders being treated like second class citizens; the loyalists I've met are more English than the English; I think it's just down to a massive split on independene in the country.
I think you're right about Brexit; Northern Ireland leaving the union is bound to happen, and something like Brexit will probably speed it up. I'd be staggered if the North wasn't part of the Republic in under 50 years tops.
Yeah loyalists are looked after because they vote for pro british parties.
The area I grew up in in the late 90s was more like an eastern European ghetto than the UK or Ireland. Even nowadays it's hardly changed apart from the fact that cops can drive through without being bricked every time.
No way. The people causing all this shit call themselves socialists but they clearly only care about money and power. They put up Soviet flags in the streets

"got no one nowhere"? Britain held Ireland for multiple centuries and conquered a quarter of the world with a strong government...

Yeah? Fair enough, dude, that does sound pretty grim.
Communism doesn't work, dude. You can have a strong government type that isn't communist, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
