cough Highland clearances?

The UK doesn't talk much about its internal ethnic structure, but there are still traces of discrimination against people with the "wrong" accents.

The Troubles isn't usually called a war of colonialism, but it has the hallmarks: different languages and religious beliefs between groups which largely didn't intermarry? Long history of supremacy of one group over the other, including formally in law?

I mean, there's still Norf, Saf, London, and Westminster apart from them. There's some horrible stuff going on under the watch of one or the other, but unless we're using one of these fruity 21st century definitions of genocide, I'm just not seeing one going on right now in the UK, nor for the last 500 years or more.

Ignoring Ireland for a moment, that is.
