Okay guys here we go: a thread of me asking English people on Tinder what they know about Northern Ireland
First guy hasnât told me anything about NI so far except that Sligo has been added to the six counties so that was news to me!
Hahahaahhaha he UNMATCHED me for telling him Sligo isnât in the North, Iâm out
And his name was Cavan like I had so much faith in him and he does this smh
Apologies to those who identify as Irish and not British in the North bc youâve just been called jolly good folk who want to stay part of Britain
Guy 2 just asked me do I identify as British or Irish..... he knows Iâm from Dublin.....
Guy number 3: he was able to recognize that the tricolour is not the flag of Northern Ireland so? Promising? Again doesnât really have a clue whatâs going on at all. Always the IRA and never the UVF or the British Army, interesting
Yeah guy 3 seems to sum up the problem pretty well. Everyone has been saying they were never educated about NI and never have educated themselves about it
Guy 4 sums up another thing a lot of the people are saying about NI, that tensions are to do with north vs south as opposed to happening in the north but heâs got a better idea than most. Still no idea whatâs happening now though
Well that guy kinda redeemed himself with this but then I told him what Bloody Sunday actually was and he responds with just âripâ
Okay guy 6 everyone- first thing, my apologies to everyone from Cork, youâre officially from âCork Countyâ now
is that some kind of American township? And also heâs v vague so Iâm gonna get some more out of him on the North

Guy 6 defo just doesnât have a clue and is chancing his arm so Iâm not gonna get anything more out of him I think, now next one
I asked that guy about why he needed a security brief and this is why:
Always to do with the IRA!!! The UVF and the British Army donât exist according to every single one of these guys

Hmmmm guy 8 is probably the best so far, I know itâs v simplified but like? Heâs not wrong *really* so Iâll give him that
Omg âI know that Northern Ireland and Ireland hate each other because theyâre not in the same countryâ ..... where do you even start with this one??? 


*1921 hahahahaha youâd swear Iâm not a history student wanting to be a historian in the future
Guy 13, unlucky 13 is definitely true here because wow. Again no mention of the UVF or the British Army and he is âtoo busy with life really to even watch the news or look into it furtherâ *sighs*
Oh my god itâs got to be written in the English history school books that the IRA caused partition and the Troubles because EVERY person is saying this
Guy 18 knows a âfair bit about whatâs happening now with all the prods and Catholicsâ but will not elaborate which makes me wonder he may not know a fair bit after all
Richard sent in multiple texts so is already exhibiting chaos, and also what he says, although along the right lines, is still chaotic
Still only mentions IRA, and Ireland is only in the EU *now* so that was news to me, the nearly 50 years in the EU meant nothing I guess

Guy 23 going along the lines of what a lot of the guys are saying, that the north is exclusively pro-British, but not a bad go at it
At least heâs honest but itâs so mad how so many of these guys know next to nothing about the North
Thought Iâd go back and ask a couple more guys about the North and now I regret it because people like this are driving me insane
âthe rest of Ireland was just stubborn afâ

âNorth Irelandâ, instead of Northern Ireland, has been a big thing in these messages, it amazes me
But he was v polite so I appreciate that
But he was v polite so I appreciate that
(Iâm nearly done I swear, these ones are just too good not to share)
I think he meant the famine oh my god

I canât cope
I think he meant the famine oh my god
