Irish nationalists are spreading a meme featuring a scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation. In it, the android Data lists political achievements achieved through violence.

One of them is the Irish unification of 2024. The episode, titled A Noble Cause, aired in the United States in 1990, and a BBC investigation has found that it was never broadcast in the UK or Ireland. The BBC is only aware of having broadcast that episode - uncut - once, in prime time at 2.39 in the morning on September 29, 2007.
