The Irish rebellion was a reaction to 400 years of British oppression of the Irish nation and people.

The past few years I have begun to suspect that my ancestor was part of Lord Cromwell's New Model Army that invaded and colonized Ireland. My family name originally came from Cheshire but all the documentation of his voyage to America indicated my ancestor left the British Isles from Ireland.

That could be. The truth is, there’s a lot of Irish blood in England and a lot of English blood in Ireland. The constituent nations of the British Isles can and should work together on common interests regardless of what kind of political divisions and configurations they have. And it doesn’t have to have anything to do with the European Union, an organization that both the UK and Ireland should withdraw from as soon as possible.
It’s a little ironic that the German government is in a tizzy about the British-Irish border when it is simultaneously allowing a massive Muslim invasion of its own country.
