Why Do People Get So Mad When They Say Mcgregor Is The First UK Champ?

[damson]

Technically it's true right?

Ireland may wish to be part of the United Kingdom, but it's a smaller and less affluent country.

GDP per capita (PPP): UK - $39,511, Ireland - $49,195
GNI per capita (PPP): UK - $38,370, Ireland - $40,820
Human Development Index rank: UK - 14, Ireland - 11
Economist's quality of life index rank: UK - 27, Ireland - 12
OECD quality of life index rank: UK - 16, Ireland - 12

In short, Ireland is richer, more developed, and has a higher quality of life than the UK. Compare that to Wales and Northern Ireland, which are in the UK and among the poorest and most deprived places in Western Europe.

[bigpunch]

Technically it's true right?

from what I understand
Northern Ireland is part of the UK
Conor McGregor is from the Republic of Ireland

pls no bully if I'm wrong

 

[Selukrid612]

Ireland actually wants to be an independent country, it's Scotland that can't do it on it's own and needs England to look after them.

 

[Serana]

from what I understand
Northern Ireland is part of the UK
Conor McGregor is from the Republic of Ireland

pls no bully if I'm wrong

You're correct.

lol get a load of this nerd

 

[Scouseknight]

The Republic of Ireland (Eire) is NOT part of the United Kingdom - they're part of The British Isles though.

Here's how it works:

Great Britain = England, Scotland and Wales
United Kingdom = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
British Isles = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland

Saying he could be the first champion from The British Isles would be technically correct - but why not just say Ireland?

The problems with Ireland and Northern Ireland cause a lot of friction - hence the UK part hitting a nerve with the Irish.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Are there like 2 different Irish people, or just one nation divided in two countries ? I am asking Irish people from either side.
