But all did not go smoothly with Cromwell’s extermination plan, as Irish slaves revolted in Barbados in 1649. They were hanged, drawn and quartered and their heads were put on pikes, prominently displayed around Bridgetown as a warning to others. Cromwell then fought two quick wars against the Dutch in 1651, and thereafter monopolized the slave trade. Four years later he seized Jamaica from Spain, which then became the center of the English slave trade in the Caribbean

1st Do this Britian

Only Scottish independence can solve the ‘English Question’
Scots for Independence
The Campaign for Scottish Independence
Campaign for an English Parliament — You thought England already had a parliament? They seek one separate from Scotland, Wales, Ulster, etc

2nd Drop this Britian
and Ireland, and the dominions thereunto belonging, or any part of the same,

The act of settlement, 1701
And it was thereby further enacted, that all and every person and persons that then were, or afterwards should be reconciled to, or shall hold communion with the see or Church of Rome, or should profess the popish religion, or marry a papist, should be excluded, and are by that Act made for ever incapable to inherit, possess, or enjoy the Crown and government of this realm, guardian.co.uk/uk/2000/dec/06/monarchy

3rd Change the name so people know how offensive it really is:

Here are a few sugestions

The Swastika Act of 1701
The KKK Act of 1701
The Neo-Nazi Act of 1701
The burn a cross on your lawn Act of 1701

When thats done get back to me then we will work on the hard stuff
 
On 14 August 1652, Cromwell began his Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland, ordering that the Irish were to be transported overseas, starting with 12,000 Irish prisoners sold to Barbados. The infamous “Connaught or Hell” proclamation was issued on 1 May 1654, where all Irish were ordered to be removed from their lands and relocated west of the Shannon or be transported to the West Indies

Ireland was never a very powerful ‘country’ - even the idea of ‘country’ beyond a few centuries ago, is anachronistic.

Compared to Rome, maybe not, but Ireland once had the ability and inclination to be aggressive and was relatively prosperous compared to most of the world. During that period Irish art and design were amazing. Rome was more powerful, and more aggressive, and famous for its cruelty, which seem to go together in most cases. I wonder if power is the only factor in cruelty, or one of many factors. I wasn’t trying to get into the topic of what constitutes a country in the current sense. I want to start a new thread for each subject here but where would they belong?

Rome wasn’t a ‘country’.

Didn’t I just express my lack of interest in the definition of country?
After all, country isn’t country anymore.😃

Well, I’d suggest that this sort of thing ends up in a kind of chaos of ‘apples and oranges’.

Here is a solution - Reinstate The Republic of Cromwell

then we can do away with both the Monarchy & COE rule

Cromwell believed in religious toleration for some, tolerated Jews and non-Anglican Protestants

I have already responded to this by pointing out that Cromwell was a military dictator and persecuted Catholics as well as Anglicans.

Try posting something new (*and *in your own words if you can possibly manage it!).
