What do mean it's not funny? It's not like I'm asking you to commit genocide. I'm simply asking for linguistic assimilation. For example their could still be an independent Ireland in this timeline, but English will be the mother tongue for all of the Irish.

Linguistic assimilation and genocide are not mutually exclusive.
If the French Revolution never happens and nationalism never rises, you can probably get no Welsh, or Irish/Scottish Gaelic revival. Combine this with early Catholic Emancipation, and the challenge is fulfilled, though you'll still have Irish and Scottish English.
