No country wants to look bad, I imagine. Look up Bloody Sunday 1920 if you're interested, though it's a dark period for both nations. Nobody really comes out of it smelling like roses.

That's a hilarious period of history to discuss in my hometown. Clonmel is all about Irish nationalism until you mention Cromwell, then it's suddenly the most royalist town in all of the British Isles.

So the Jacobites haven't entirely perished. Ireland could have dug up a descendant of that doomed royal house and made him or her its monarch,, but they didn't. A missed chance, if you ask me.

And be invaded. Again. I mean we literally just have to sit here to be conquered every century or two but let's not paint a bullseye on our back. Damn our sexy, sexy strategic value and soil.

I like to think that we as a continent moved beyond such operations. Your value as a member of True Europe shall only increase after the treacherous Anglo-Saxons execute their vile Brexit.

It's going to be a colossal boom period, that is true. The lion's share of foreign investment that would otherwise go to the UK, oh my.
