@RuairiAodh@outlookspu34121@MatthewJDalby All of the islands that for the British Isles, including the Isle of Ireland, form an Archipelago, which means there is Geography that’s groups them.
I’m also well aware RoI isn’t British, it is its own sovereign nation. But it’s still forms part of the British Isles
@RuairiAodh@outlookspu34121@MatthewJDalby British Isles is a geographic term, not a political one, and includes both Great Britain and Ireland alongside the Isle of Man, Hebrides and the northern isles.
RoI is not part of the United Kingdom, but it objectively is part of the British Isles
@outlookspu34121@MatthewJDalby Great Britain - Scotland, England and Wales (the main island)
Isle of Ireland - RoI an NI
United Kingdom (of GB & NI) - Great Britain and Northern Ireland
British Isles - Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland
@Sahyadri_Putra@CSgtBourne If you read sources not written and parroted by radical revisionists, stopped trying to be a victim and blame Britain for the destruction of your own country by your own people. The whole country would be much further ahead. The only biased and braindead one here is you
@Sahyadri_Putra@CSgtBourne For a start the Bengali famine killed no where near 20 million. Even the most liberal estimates put the top end at 3.8m.
But more importantly it was caused by stagnant rice production, a rising population and WW2. As we were too busy fighting the real holocaust.
@Sahyadri_Putra@CSgtBourne Nothing I said was racist. And I’m also Scottish not English.
No holocaust happened in India and to insinuate so is not only an egregious rewriting of history, it’s incredibly disrespectful to victims of THE holocaust
@Sahyadri_Putra@CSgtBourne Ah India, another vile twisted and bitter country who have been taught fictional history.
The Indian people ruined their own country. Now piss off
Antonio Rattin, one of Argentina's greatest midfielders, had died at the age of 89.
He refused to leave the pitch after being dismissed in the quarter-final of the 1966 World Cup, saying he did not understand the German referee - this led Fifa to introduce the yellow and red card system at the next World Cup in 1970 to avoid communication problems between referees and players from different countries.
@BowTiedCrow India has 1.5 billion people and plays 1 sport. It’s very good at that sport. But over the three formats it’s not any better than Australia, South Africa, England or New Zealand. All of which are significantly smaller than India, and all have other more popular sports
@DrizzyDraught@e10pat There’s 130,000 professional football players currently. That’s 130,000 people making a living solely from playing the sport.
There’s:
- 15,000 in basketball
- 3,500 in American Football
- 10,000 in baseball
You have a much higher chance of making a career out of soccer
