Uh, you know Ireland hasn't been part of the UK since 1922, right?
Well yes, but actually no.
Northern Ireland is not Ireland.
Then why is it named "Ireland"?
It's named Northern Ireland.
Speaking about Ireland, you guys should totally watch this movie. It literally speaks about how things are going nowadays.
I literally live here.

You know the two biggest parties in the United States? You know, the ones with English names.
