Backlash against Times columnist claiming Ireland has 'tenuous claim to nationhood' and NI unionists not British

A columnist for the Times of London has come under fire after suggesting that Ireland is not a real country.

In her comment piece for Tuesday's edition Melanie Philips talks about moves by republicans in Northern Ireland and nationalists in Scotland to seek independence from the UK.

Under the headline 'Britain is the authentic nation in this battle' she describes Scotland and Northern Ireland as "the most troublesome bits of the United Kingdom".

However, it is her comments about the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland that have sparked the biggest reaction online.

Ms Philips writes that unionists in Northern Ireland are "not British".

She continues: "They're the bit that got tacked on to Great Britain to make the UK.

"Does that mean Westminster should tear up the Good Friday agreement and bid farewell to Northern Ireland. No, because it has an obligation to the unionists; and because the claim to unite Ireland is tenuous since Ireland itself has a tenuous claim to nationhood, having seceded from Britain as the Irish Free State in 1922."

The column has caused a big reaction online with many taking to Twitter to lambaste the writer.

Irish ambassador to the UK Daniel Mulhall wrote: "As Ambassador I cannot ignore @MelanieLatest's outlandish claim @thetimes that Irish nationhood is 'tenuous'. 100 years of independence.

"Irish nationhood based on strong sense of identity, distinctive culture & shared values and interests. Nothing 'tenuous'."

Another tweeter wrote: "That awkward moment when other countries find out about Melanie Philips."

Independent.ie has attempted to contact Ms Philips for a comment.

Unreal.  Israel is totally legitimate, yet Ireland is questionable?  Fuckin' Jews, man.

  "ROSEBURG, Ore. —Investigators including cyber-experts and hate crime
   specialists peered Friday into the life of a 26-year-old gunman whose
   massacre across an Oregon campus may have been driven by religious rage
   and a fascination with the twisted notoriety of high-profile killers.
   
   What is known so far about the attacker — identified by a U.S. law
   enforcement official as Chris Harper Mercer — appear only as loose
   strands that suggested an interest in firearms and the infamy gained by
   mass shooters.

   Witnesses also said he seemed to seek specific revenge against
   Christians, and police examined Web posts that hinted of wider
   antipathy toward organized faith.

   But authorities still struggled to build a clearer picture at what
   drove the California-raised Mercer to stalk rural Umpqua Community
   College — armed with three pistols and a semiautomatic rifle — and
   methodically pick off students and professors Thursday on the fourth
   day of the fall semester.
