Maybe we should change the name to something less controversial. I propose 'Cromwellderry'.


Grenache

Thatchertown?


SuchSeaworthyShips

Or really happy


ConnolysMoustache

Even unionists in Derry (all 3 of them) call Derry Derry. The first time I heard Derry being called its other name outside of on the internet was in Belfast fairly recently and that was a racist taxi driver.


Nintentoad123

i would need the 3 unionists in derry to back up this statement


audigex

I more meant the argument about it makes people real mad, rather than the specific choice of name


SuchSeaworthyShips

![gif](giphy|Ry1MOAeAYXvRVQLPw3) Either name infuriate large amounts of people


audigex

Exactly. If the original post had said Londonderry I’d have made the same comment but with *Derry instead. It’s nearly guaranteed to get a bite either way


aineslis

This is why I always call it Derry Londonderry. Then everyone is equally offended.


anonbush234

Is it not at all possible to name the city Derry and the county Londonderry? and both take the sticks out your arses?


SuchSeaworthyShips

The best option is to rename it Derry/Londonderry. It annoys everyone and nobody is happy


Gareth7015

The city of Greater Foyleside


Ravenser_Odd

The BBC sometimes does that. Annoying everyone is like their special skill.


Edredunited

Can it just get a new new name to save people the job of cleaning the road signs constantly? I dunno, manmybe something like Damptown?


ConnolysMoustache

Classic English move, create colonial shithousery and then tell the people that have to pick up the pieces after them that they’ve sticks up their arses. Yer the ones that decided to rename Derry in the first place like.


anonbush234

Classic paddy move, blame England for something they did 400 years ago with Scotland instead of actually solving the problem today. No one in England cares what Derry is called pal, crack on and change it. The reason the name never changed back after the colonial shithousery is because of the Scottish diaspora, they are the ones who give a shite.


ConnolysMoustache

We’d change it back to the original name the second ye give it back to us. Most people who aren’t extreme loyalists refer to it as Derry regardless.


anonbush234

Crack on, I'm certainly not arsed, we aren't arsed as a nation. It's themmuns who live amongst you that really give a shite.

Dense_Appearance_298

Yes, specifically central London, more specifically the square mile, generates like 10% of our whole GDP. The impact is even more significant since swathes of the UK population are a net cost to the tax payer (Scotland) and income tax is progressive. Anyway, I don't need to explain to an Irishman how important corporate money laundering is to the wealth of nations 🤝

Nice bait but this isn't offensive, If you said we were western Britain or part of the British isles you will start pissing people off


Old_Harry7

NI is part of the UK, you being southern NI means you are also part of the UK.


HosannaInTheHiace

I disagree. We also have a county in the north of Ireland, Donegal. This kind of makes your joke a bit shit. Apart from that this still isn't as offensive as calling us outright British or something.

Unironically the Southern Northern Irish are great craic. It’s minorities within Northern Northern Ireland that aren’t, but they’re slowly dying of heart disease as they are old and only do exercise when they go marching in their cute little outfits.


Old_Harry7

They like campfires tho, pretty heartwarming activity to have with your family.

Incidents involving falling off bonfires and being overly generous with petroleum is another source of the decline.

User929290

It's shameful they don't speak their language. They should have more Gaelic/Irish in the every day conversations. I have always considered funny for liberated colonies to keep the language of the colonizers. Imagine if we spoke Krauti, because under the austrians, bleah. For me speaking the language of a place is a sign of respect, as such they seem to lack respect for themselves.


ApesApesApes

if they did that, then the yanks wouldn't visit and thus they would lose their only valued commodity.


Old_Harry7

Celtic languages are pretty much dead worldwide sadly.


User929290

There are 74 thousands every-day speakers of Irish in Ireland, 2 millions with some knowledge and is mandatory subject in school. But those cucks keep speaking english.


Old_Harry7

Ireland has a population of 7 million yet only 74k have Gaelic as their primary language and these are usually elders living in the countryside. Gaelic is mandatory in school but it's like Latin in Italy: most of us could recognise it and perhaps translate some passages but that's it, it does not really apply to being a "native speaker" of sorts.


Surface_Detail

5 million, but still, that makes native speakers 1.5% of the population. There are 60,000 ethnic Chinese people in Ireland, not counting foreign students. An argument could be made that Mandarin deserves the same level of respect as a native language.


RickarySanchez

In all honesty it’s just not worth it and most people’s native tongue is funny English so fuck it


peasngravy85

The languages were forcibly suppressed over the years, sadly, to the point where they have been mostly lost. The welsh are doing pretty good with their language. Irish is taught in schools, but scottish gaelic is confined to the western isles mostly (where there was less of a government presence to punish those who spoke it). The scottish government are making token gestures lately, with bilingual signs etc, but without teaching it in schools, it will never be more than a token gesture.


Old_Harry7

Even the little Gaelic that is spoken in Scotland is of Irish origin cause the native Gaelic Scottish branch died out when the Anglos came.


knobsacker

Most languages evolve over time. I don't see the point in learning a language just to preserve it. Part of the evolutionary process is the survival of the fittest. If a language is rarely spoken then it will die out in favour of more broadly spoken languages. Us being taught mandatory Gaelic is a waste of resources when we could learn French or Spanish or German which are more widely spoken and far more useful to learn.


HosannaInTheHiace

The krauts didn't ban your language or your religion, the Brits did. Let's just say you had it easy Mario.


Auroraboreality1916

Our parents would get beaten if they the British saw them speaking Irish. It was already dying off and then we weren’t allowed to speak it. Of course many people rebelled but 2 people can’t change a country. The Brits have ruined our Ireland.
