The short answer is power.

Longer answer is raw materials to support the ideas of the enlightenment - Britain was primarily an economic empire like the Romans and it fathered modern capitalism and the industrial revolution - and a one-world philosophy to make the planet agree with our ethics and morality(Western people carry this philosophy right up until this very day).

That's a bad joke btw. I did have IRA sympathies along with my Dad and his Dad before him. Being a nationalist(and not a imperialist)I tend to support most forms of popular nationalism even when they went against our empire. I would also have been on Gandhi's nationalist side against British imperialism.

Yet in this day and age I don't support a united Ireland because even Catholics in Northern Ireland do not want this.

We speak Irish as well,and to be honest i would much prefer to spend an evening with our English friends across the water than with you.

I use to stick up for you when Glatlol use to give you such a hard time,i now understand why she did that.Your a right real Royal pain.

Your very annoying and ignorant as well,especially concerning Ireland.
