    Northern Ireland, which is actually the north of Ireland, isn’t even in Brittain.

    The official name is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

    Great Brittain, and Northern Ireland. Which they should give back to Ireland. Maybe add Scotland and Wales as an apology, I’m sure they would love to join the EU again and leave England.

    Also, looking at the Union Jack, the northern island cross is wrong, as well as the Scottish blue colour. So basically it’s just an English flag with an artist’s impression of their stolen terretories added to it, while forgetting Wales completely.

      my favourite part of the UK will always be how they wanted to show that they’ve claimed northern ireland, so what was the best they could come up with?

      Slap “london” in front of Derry, fucking beautiful. It’s not just stupid, it sounds like shit too!

        That’s how Londonderry got named? Are we sure the royals and drumpf aren’t related? That’s some Gulf of America/ Lake America crap right there.

          During the Plantation of Ulster by English and Scottish settlers, a new walled city was built across the River Foyle from the old site by the Irish Society, a consortium of the livery companies of the City of London.[13] In recognition of the London investors, the 1613 charter stated “that the said city or town of Derry, for ever hereafter be and shall be named and called the city of Londonderry”.

          honestly worse, they did it to suck off some fucking investors
