This is an archive of all things British—English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh—and Anglo-Celtic, more broadly. DM for removal.

The Anglosphere was founded by the Anglo-Celtic race, and for the Anglo-Celtic race. It belongs to us, and us alone.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

@CestLaDenys One can criticise Catholicism, and criticise elements of Irish immigration to America. However, most go well beyond that, to the point where it is forced, and unnatural. It doesn't help that some Irish-Americans are very hostile towards Old Stock Americans, either.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

I cannot take seriously the 'advocates' of the Anglosphere who repeatedly attack the Irish nation.

How can one advocate for the Anglosphere when one attacks its foundation? When one attacks one of its four mother nations?

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

@CestLaDenys Though, most of the anti-Irish attacks come from Americans.
Sadly, many do not understand their own history, and the role the Irish (of mostly the Protestant faith) played in the foundation of America and the rest of the Anglosphere.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

Too little is said about the integral contributions of the other British nations, when it comes to the foundation and growth of the Anglosphere.
The lack of knowledge on this topic undermines the Anglosphere, and leads to people thinking it was just an English project.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

The integral role played by the Welsh in the foundation of the Anglosphere is, sadly, unknown.

@UbermenschMind This, more or less. Deeper into the British Isles, and widened to include more of Germany and France, though.

@Albrochier Even as they remained loyal to the Union, the Irishness of the unionists was never under question.

@Albrochier In the end, they both fought for Ireland.
Pearse, Redmond and Carson were all Irishmen with three opposing views of what was best for Ireland.
One can honour both the Union and Confederacy in America, and both the Cavalier and Roundhead in England, so Ireland should do the same.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

With all the pan-Germanicist LARP making its way through the Anglosphere, I would like to take the moment to remind us all that the English are more similar, both racially and culturally, to their Welsh, Scotch and Irish brothers, than they are to their Dutch and German cousins.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

The Highlanders of Scotland are often forgotten about. Yet, they always accompanied their countrymen from the Lowlands wherever they went.
They gave the Anglosphere John A. Macdonald, the father of Canada, as well as Lachlan Macquarie, the father of Australia.

Scotchmen—drawn from the remote, clannish peaks of the Highlands and the wind-scoured, isolated outer islands of the Hebrides and Shetland.
They came from the fertile stretches of Aberdeenshire and the Borders, alongside the industrious pioneers of the Lowlands and the Clyde.

[Royal Irish ☘️ @RoyalIrish_]

If there’s anything this island prides itself on more regardless of religion or constitutional question is the history of the indomitable fighting spirit. “No Surrender” or “Our day will come” signify this insatiable desire to keep up the fight no matter the opposing force.

@xcCameron_ @ZoomerHistorian It's all part of the greater British story, of our shared experience. What happens in Canada, Scotland or Australia concerns all members of the British race.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

@xcCameron_ @ZoomerHistorian This is like arguing a Yorkshireman shares no history with a Lancashireman, because something in Yorkshire might not have affected Lancashire. Same thing, just on a greater scale here.

[Monaghan In Exile ☘️ @Monaghanson]

@xcCameron_ @ZoomerHistorian Political arrangements do not replace the blood flowing in one's veins. You are British—and so are the Irish and Americans, too, regardless of any political separation.
