    Republic of Ireland is a term used to describe the type of independent state Éire/Ireland is. The Irish president and many presidents have been to the North of Ireland. As a nationalist I’m still very well aware that the north of Ireland is part of the UK so again she’s wrong. It’s the first visit to Great Britain.

    • @phillipwilloughby5013
      @phillipwilloughby5013 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@gingerbaker4390 No not foreign. It was the Irish Volunteers, the Irish Citizen Army, and the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
      They created Ireland's Proclamation of Independence and the seven men who signed it were all executed and that compelled the Irish people to establish the Irish Republic. The Irish cherish their Proclamation of Independence like the Americans cherish their Declaration of Independence.
      And Ireland never wanted to be part of the UK and were forced into it in 1801. And as the Irish Declaration of Independence says (yes there is an Irish Declaration of Independence too) "English rule in Ireland is, and always has been, based upon force, and fraud, and maintained by military occupation against the declared will of the people.".

      The vile comments made by so many Irish over the events of yesterday make tuay all too clear.
      Enjoy your wallowing and bitter hate filled lives whilst the rest of us embrace the future and forgiveness on BOTH sides - a concept strangely alien to Ireland who purport to be religious lol.

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
    Mark 1.15
    15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
