I'm guessing they just studied the Ladybird book.
From Cromwell, A Ladybird book:

Cromwell was also a good man. He was deeply religious, and neither greedy nor - except in Ireland - cruel. He was a good father to his children and the friend of all honest men.

It is a blot on the history of our country that when Charles II returned, Cromwell'sbody was taken from the tomb and his head set upon a pike for all to see. It was a mean

Someone who thinks the Plantation of Ulster was the only plantation in Ireland is also in no place to teach anyone about Irish history.

To all my American (and other) friends raving about how "educational" Mayor Mamdani's St. Patrick's Day message was:

Someone who has confused the Plantation of Ulster with "plantations in Ireland" is not, in fact, in a position to teach you anything about Irish history.

Never not at it. Zero respect for the idea of Ireland as an independent nation.
Some British people on Reddit who think Ireland should have remained in the UK, or should join a federal union with them. Possibly trolls, or possibly just this offensively ignorant.

Even that diagram is offensive. British Isles is an outdated colonial term. Irish people are not British and Ireland isn't a British isle. This diagram is better.
