That is a can of worms that you really do not want.

Given the enthusiasm for all things Ulster Scot amongst elements of the Unionist community, a United Kingdom of Scotland and Northern Ireland sounds like it could be a runner.

The days of the oppressors telling the Irish where to go are over.

Laddie.

I thought you thought they weren’t. I thought the point was that we were still oppressing you which is why you are still (probably quite rightly) trying to get us to fuck off.

Glad to know that I can stop feeling guilty about it now then. Leaves more capacity to feel guilty about all the other shit stuff we’ve done.

I’d give the Scottish independence today if they promised to take Northern Ireland as part of the deal.

Although then the Welsh would be stuck on their own with us…

Thank you, but no. We have enough sectarian bollocks of our own without importing more.

Watch: Huge Portadown bonfire collapse – people took unnecessary risks by being too close, says unionist

A Portadown councillor has said it was a “miracle” no one was killed in a bonfire collapse in the Co Armagh town.

Derry, aka Free Derry.

Part of the occupied 6 counties in Ireland, the Irish Isles.

As a teen, me and my pals boycotted the 12th and went to the woods to get wasted instead - occasionally bursting into traditional song:

“Oh it was black and it was beautiful
And was bought in East Ardoyne.
It was smoked in Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen & the Boyne.
Oh my father smoked it in his youth
In the bygone days of yore
So it’s on the 12th I love to smoke
The hash my father scored”

A vast improvement on the original.

I on the other hand will happily sneer at the Bonfire Berks. Plastic patriots, the lot of 'em. They'd run a mile if they were asked to actually live in Britain along with the majority of their "fellow" Brits, who in addition to not painting their street kerbs in flag colours, could also be non-white, or LGBT, or non-Protestant. Plenty of Brits take the piss out of the Royals, which certainly fills my heart with national pride. When I look across the Irish sea towards this country's biggest colony, I don't recognise the land I gaze upon. I find all the flags and sectarian bonfire bullshit to be far more foreign to me than women in hijabs or exotic foods in the shops. The great irony is that it is Britain's imperial past which has lead to this, a past which is often hailed by the same Colonel Blimp types who decry the present.

Ulster Loyalism has much more to do with ‘not being Irish’ than it does being British. It’s a hyper-nationalist identity moulded through centuries of hatred, bigotry and discrimination.

No it’s 10 times more ridiculous than that. Then on the 12th you get to see the “Cosplay Brits’ Parade” with their stupid fucking bowler hats.

Borrowed this from the “Bandwidth” thread

I do wonder what version of Englabd/Britain they're after though.
I've lived here all myself and I've never seen it.
My aunt lives in the states, and owned an English Tea Rooms for years, I wonder of its so.ethibg similar to that.
Just without the Catholics, Gays, black people, etc.

One thing I've always meant to ask, where do they get all the pallets? There must be hundreds of pallets in some of those bonfires.

They could move to Larkhall, they wouldn't realise they had left Ireland.

Pallet makers, obvs. I used to order them for my factory, £1.20 each, 100 at a time
