Okay guys here we go: a thread of me asking English people on Tinder what they know about Northern Ireland
First guy hasnāt 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 isnāt in the North, Iām 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 youāve 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 Iām from Dublin.....
Guy number 3: he was able to recognize that the tricolour is not the flag of Northern Ireland so? Promising? Again doesnāt really have a clue whatās 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 heās got a better idea than most. Still no idea whatās 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 āripā
Okay guy 6 everyone- first thing, my apologies to everyone from Cork, youāre officially from āCork Countyā now

Guy 6 defo just doesnāt have a clue and is chancing his arm so Iām 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 donāt exist according to every single one of these guys

Hmmmm guy 8 is probably the best so far, I know itās v simplified but like? Heās not wrong *really* so Iāll give him that
Omg āI know that Northern Ireland and Ireland hate each other because theyāre not in the same countryā ..... where do you even start with this one???

*1921 hahahahaha youād swear Iām 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 ātoo busy with life really to even watch the news or look into it furtherā *sighs*
Oh my god itās got to be written in the English history school books that the IRA caused partition and the Troubles because EVERY person is saying this
No Tom that doesnāt help my experiment but thanks all the same for your thoughts

Guy 18 knows a āfair bit about whatās happening now with all the prods and Catholicsā 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 heās honest but itās so mad how so many of these guys know next to nothing about the North
Thought Iād go back and ask a couple more guys about the North and now I regret it because people like this are driving me insane

āNorth Irelandā, instead of Northern Ireland, has been a big thing in these messages, it amazes me
But he was v polite so I appreciate that
