Punisher Max Kitchen Irish arc touches a little about the subject.

Ennis' first work was about Troubles.

Hellblazer #60, also by Ennis, who is the only guy who writes about the Troubles, is almost entirely set in the Crown Bar in Belfast. Because of the timeframe, it is technically set in the Troubles, but it's more about Kit Ryan returning to Belfast and trying to get over John Constantine.

>Mandatory up the Ra.

What troubles

Basically, everything Ennis writes has a story arc about it.

Even Hitman. Especially Hitman.

Fugg even that arc in Hellblazer

An IRA thread? Don't mind if I do

The

BRITS OUT

What the troubles accomplished?

The civil right movement for Catholics in Northern Ireland allowed them to vote and own land for the first time, it also opened the doors to a more inclusive political landscape, so now republicans and socialists etc have a voice in the government.

Or they would, had the government not gone tits up last week.

Is Ireland basically the UK's middle-east on the doorstep?

>those skates
MUH HEART

No, that's France.

Not specifically about the Troubles, but one of the main characters grew up during that time, and there are lots of flashbacks
Also, an all-round excellent comic

I don't know shit about crap. Is there a real chance of Ireland leaving the UK after Brexit? Or is southern Ireland leaving the UK possible?

Only NI is part of the UK.
Real Ireland is already part of the EU, but isn't subject to their rapefugee quotas.

So is there any chance of Northern Ireland leaving the UK and re-unifying Ireland?

I know no one here is an expert, but if you're any kind of Irish or in the UK I'm assuming you have some insight

Seconding what everyone in this thread is saying, read things written by Garth Ennis. He ALWAYS puts The Troubles into what he writes.

>fight for 30 years to achieve political settlement that's basically worse than what would have happened without semtex
>claim to be fighting the old war but not really fooling anybody
>push protection scams, prostitution, people and weapons trafficking, and drugs on your own because you need money for soviet surplus
>unification finally comes around not because of anything you or SF did but because the tories are morons

fuck the ra

never did anyone any good, just painted on people's houses and beat up schoolkiddies for being the wrong religion

fucking inbreed halfwit sandniggers the lot of you

I'd say so yeah. Nobody wants to go back to a hard border and NI is finally beginning to realise the tories don't give a fuck about them.

Not this century. It's more likely that the EU supercedes the existing states of europe and NI and Ireland both join as separate states than any reunification that way, or that they unite under a caliphate than a straight East/West germany combination.

I know nothing about this issue but I know not to listen to you because your points are all Sup Forums-tier name calling and obvious strawmanning.

...

The unionists took a beating in the last election. A united ireland wont happen in the short term but its looking closer than ever

The last bit sure, but even Christopher Hitchens noted how much of a sectarian hell hole Ireland was devolving into.

Yes absolutely.

The EU operates without internal borders and as part of it, the UK and EIRE have no reason to have a border.

That means, essentially, since the EU is about ever-closer integration on standards and laws, that they're becoming the same place with different government hubs, but the NI government was jointly supported by both EIRE and UK under the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.

Brexit either means nothing - and freedom of movement, goods, and services continues as now without the UK having any legal right to put up borders - or it means a hard border between NI and EIRE again, as before 1998.

NI voted, narrowly, to leave the EU - but dissatisfaction with the way Brexit is being planned it literally isn't being planned and the people responsible for doing so walk out whenever confronted with the truth of how difficult the job they're refusing to do properly is may mean that NI has its own referendum in a year or so as a means of placating both sides. They could then choose to reunify with EIRE - wouldn't solve the old problems, but transfer main responsibility for them to Dublin from London. Or maybe to Holyrood - it's possible that if the Scots go too they'll want to go as a bloc with NI.

tl;dr if Brexit happens as the current government's stated intentions - rather than promises, which are contradictory - then NI will probably become either a shithole full of constant and massive sectarian violence, or it'll leave the UK. Plenty of foreign powers would readily fund that - the US has historically done so (and was doing so right up until the GFA), Russia would now have an interest in funding sectarian groups on both sides.

All EU countries have refugee quotas based on population. Ireland is about 1/12 the size of the UK and so takes fewer, but takes them largely without complaint, because the Irish aren't meatheads who think they can survive in isolation.

The funniest thing about it is that it is the LAST thing that Whitehall wants.

Because now they can all go "Fucking Whitehall running us, we're supposed to have our own assembly." Which would be a valid point if their MPs didn't forget how to government.

Cuck post.

>Potato Niggers vote to stay in the UK
>Brexit happens
>mfw Potato Niggers now want a second vote

May I suggest Scotland and NI somehow unite, so Scotland can rejoin the EU once NI reunites with Ireland?

Thanks for being informative and not a memey shitposter

>decide to buy car
>car bursts in into flames while driving down the street
>guess I'll get a different car

What is the meme here?

who would want to be in the EU when it's run by jokers

>it literally isn't being planned and the people responsible for doing so walk out whenever confronted with the truth of how difficult the job they're refusing to do properly is

I still can't believe UKers tolerate this shit.

Trump had his "Man, healthcare is really hard" gaffe but he and Bannon didn't say "Lol nvmd good luck" the night after winning the election

Scot here.

We have no connection with NI that would justify a union, and Spain has already made clear theres no way that they'll allow an independent Scotland to rejoin the EU.

26 + 6 =1

In my lifetime no less. It's like a dream.

There's 800,000 Brits living there and 300,000 Spaniards in the UK. That could be used to force them to accept the rejoining. Also, Gibraltar.

You underestimate how much they dont want Catalonia, the Basque Country, etc to get any ideas.

>Basque Country
Nah, they gave up long ago.
>Catalonia
Barking dogs.

Having a country successfully go independent and be 'legitimized' by the EU would inevitably re-invigorate Regionalist movements.

Not the same situation.

It was on the field of battle
Of hope we were bereft
But by the time that it was over
There were no more Catholics left

We looked up to King William
On his chin, a royal cleft
And by the time that it was over
There were no more Catholics left

His strategy was strong
His strategy was deft
By the time that it was over
There were no more Catholics left

The battle now victorious
We foiled their papist theft
When the time was over
There were no more Catholics left

NO MORE CATHOLICS
NO MORE CATHOLICS
NO MORE CATHOLICS
NO MORE CATHOLICS

>Having a country successfully go independent and be 'legitimized' by the EU would inevitably re-invigorate Regionalist movements.


Spain's fears were that it would set a precedent for countries WITHIN the EU. Since Brexit that is not a problem.
