The Brit gave up (looong ago) on trying to annex the northen counties. They realized there would never be an end to conflict as long as they laid claim to lands that did not belong to them.
The Brits had the luxury of being able to give up on the colonial experiment, in the I/P conflict Israel *is* the colonial experiment. There is no comparison.
The brits gave up trying to steal Irish land long ago. There is no comparison.
The northern counties are *not* british soil and the brits don't want it. There is no comparison.
The british populace came to grips with the baser instincts surrounding conquest and colonization. There is no comparison.
The brits actually made the connection between colonialism in Ireland and getting their collective asses blown to hell. There is no comparison.
If Tinnypriv sees your nonsense he won't be as gentle as I am...be glad he hasn't seen it yet.
