I'm sure he can answer for himself.

 

[Roy Bloom]

Vinty said is Ireland within the British Isles true or false he didn't say it was part of Great Britain.

Vinty has been hopping from one foot to the other.

He claimed that NI was in UK prior to it being designated as NI. Which is nonsense. It was in Ireland. Although Ireland had been ruled by the British, it was still Ireland.

N.Ireland wasn't 'created' , the 6 counties were in the UK before partition and remained in the UK after partition.
It was the Irish free state that was created to please Irish nationalists.
You should have paid more attention at school and might have learned something.
Who are these immigrants you refer to in your post.

The he claimed that Ireland was originally British, which is total nonsense.

Ireland was originally British, it is in the British Isles.
The earliest maps of the British Isles show clearly that Ireland was inhabited by British speaking people, the place and river names were P Celtic or pre Celtic.
Stop harping on about the past and accept the world has changed.
All this crap about 'Native Irish' is nonsense, there are no more native Irish than there are native Anglo Saxons or native Welsh.
Ulster has always been British in one form or another, nothing will ever change that.

Then he admitted to making his own version of history.

History is a craft, not a science.
Everyone has the right to craft their version of their own history.

I'm sure he can answer for himself.

But not necessarily truthfully or sensibly.

He was very much on the mark how history is crafted.
So many examples of that happening in the hands of the wokists modern day.

Sure, you can nake up your own version of history, even if it is fantasy.

And conversely you can base it in reality.

Ok.

Tell us how you see the history of Ireland

I've no skin in the debate, all I did was point out what seemed the bleeding obvious.

The wokist anti slavery mob that you are so against?

Not necessarily on a given topic you seem to be eager to debate.
I could highlight words that have fallen favour of being used in modern day parlance.

 

[Roy Bloom]

And conversely you can base it in reality.

Then it's not your version.

 

[gant]

Then it's not your version.

Or the same could be said of you given your ability to spin the written word.

Post 124 is no skin in the debate?

Ok, now you ARE confused.

I thought wokism might not be considered a tenuous link, well done for making it so. Now that is a play on the written word.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Don't know what you are now on about. Do you?

You've either got skin in the debate or you haven't. Which is it?
