Britain WILL invade Ireland and bring her back into the fold, but this is simply because they have proven to be too much of a threat to British security - after their attempt at a Scottish rebellion we already had enough reason to declare war, but we did not, instead they were the ones who did so.
And now they will pay the price for their foolish acts - it seems the Irish are simply not intelligent enough to rule themselves without becoming a threat to Britain.
But if the Irish request peace now, and sign a MPP (which wouldn't include current wars) with Britain to guarantee they won't commit more acts of war against us, then we will even at this late stage grant them a reprieve.
So do not say that Britain is not merciful, or that Britain is out to get whatever she can. The simple fact is that Britain IS morally right, and nearly always is, as shown by our mercy, our nature not to land grab
