“A repeal,” says the Times, “is not a matter to be argued on. It is a blow which despoils the Queen’s domestic territory, splinters her crown, undermines and then crushes her throne, exposes her to insult and outrage from all quarters of the earth and ocean; a repeal of the Union leaves England stripped of her vitality. Whetever might be the inconvenience or disadvantage, therefore, or even unwholesome restraint upon Ireland—although the Union secures the reverse of all these—but even were it gall to Ireland, England must guard her own life’s blood, and sternly tell the disaffected Irish: ‛You his shall have me for a sister or a subjugatrix; this is my ultimatum.’”
1869, The History of Ireland, pages 190–191The British attitude today remains as it was in 1843, when the greatest mass peaceful movement ever — that of Daniel O Connell’s five million registered repealers — was told by Elizabeth II’s great great grandmother that Ireland could have England either as a sister or as a subjugatrix, because the Union was there to stay.
