Celtic Union/Keltic Yooonyon/Éireannaich agus Albannaich Aonaidh

[Ralph]

Anyay, I thought that that nations derived from ethnic and genetic ties were yesterday's thing?


On a slightly serious note, I have always found that this 'Celt' or 'Celtic' crap more than a little disturbing.
If anyone said the same about being Anglo Saxon, that there was some mystical aura about it, or that the race was more in touch with nature or some sort of shit and more worthy than others then the hate crime unit of the local plod ( which would probably be the biggest and best funded unit) would be round kicking in their doors looking for copies of Mein Kampf and old VHS's of Jim Davidson.

Its smacks of over compensating and a virile grievance culture.

+1

It's complete (& slightly sinister) nonsense.

Sinister

As has already been pointed out, if someone started yammering on about an Anglo Saxon union in the way you have a Celtic union they'd be dismissed as far right fruit loop. Blood & soil nationalism is an intellectually vapid dead end.

[The Tick]

Not so much sinister, just a load of bollocks.

Why have Cornwall and Brittany also been left out (as indeed was Wales) of this proposed tryst, incidentally?

[Petingo]

I'd probably be up for it.

A) Wouldn't have to listen to GSTQ/The Queen.

B) It might fix the North(ern) ((of)) Ireland issue - probably not, but a halfway-hoose for the Prods of NI and Yes City/Glasgow.

C) We (Scotland) might qualify for a football tournament.

D) We pretty much look the same. Pale, dark or red hair, beady eyed, life expectancy of 61 - or maybe that's just us.

E) Deise and I can come up with a Gáidh-leg hybrid tongue and force it down everyone throats, even Bas and earn tons o'ca$(we'll be using that probably too)h.

F) Scottish/Irish dancing, Hurling/Shinty, Bagpipe/Uilleanpipe, Whisky/Whiskey, MacDonald/McDonald, Smyth/Smith, Lawnsaidh/Lawnsaigh. We can find a way to spell, dance, drink it, one way.

G) All those 'proud' Scots and white settlers can decide which way they want their bread buttered too. Back down the road/over the sea or commit to this new union and be proud.

H) Saves all the fuss of Brexit too.

Let's get it going.

P.S. we can even put Ulster-Jock second in our official languages act.

As ever Kev, their is nowt new under the sun


In antiquity, long before the Sassenach invaded Scotland and the Normans went to Ireland, there existed a Kingdom of Dalriada.

This kingdom was a prototype "Celtic Union" consisting of County Antrim in north eastern Ireland and a couple of western Scottish counties

BTW.....I am all for your suggestion......neither Scotland nor Northern Ireland voted in favour of the Brexit madness and it is grossly unfair that those two regions are to be subject to the diktat of right wing English xenophobes.

And the good people in the People's Republic of Liverpool voted to remain as well.

So it is only right, fitting and proper that the very Keltic city of Liverpool, the least English city below Hadrian's Wall and east of Offa's Dyke, is admitted to your fledgling nation

Of course, ol' Pet. We won't forget our Liverpudlians. Liverpool can be our Macau/Hong Kong.

Just one thing, Kev.....to the outside world a "Liverpudlian" means a citizen of the People's Republic.

But down here the term "Liverpudlian" means a supporter of the football team of that ilk.....the majority of the population support the other lot, are called "Evertonians" and would never in a hundred years refer to themselves as "Liverpudlians"

BTW.....we have the biggest Chinatown in Europe so the city of Liverpool as the Celtic Union's Hong Kong gets a big thumbs up from me

[Royal24s]

Of course, there is no more Celtic ancestry in any part of the U.K than anywhere else in fact so the concept is bollocks really. At this point of history, illusions of being Celtic nations are entirely imaginary and more to do with some quasi socialist victim mentality than bloodlines.

By the way, the Celts , who don't actually exist anymore, were a pretty backward and very cruel bunch who originated in modern Austria rather than Cardiff or anywhere.

If you're gonna really proceed with this farcical idea, Pet, then theres only one tune accceptable, a tune every Belfast kid learns at their Ma's knee......

Aha.

Don't forget both my grannies are from Belfast, Bas.

I knew that tune before I could even walk....

There was another one about "My Aunt Jane" calling me in and giving me "half a bap"

[rorymac]

Ol'Pet to jet in to win us North Belfast and our first MLA with a campaign of song, dance, story, oratory tales from so'Cal and beyond for the CAKYEAA party.

Let us eat cake, vote CAKYEAA.

[m4 colin]

I have often mused that the Celts might have flowered into some great civilization if they had not been destroyed by the Romans.

Well Boys and Girls Nows yer chance!
