ORIGINAL: Aneirin I saw that on the news yesterday too, and I was wondering then, the Irish must really be the most intolerant people in our isles. Just look at the history, recent years and beyond, persecution because of belief, nationality and whatever. The irish I always understood to be easy going, but that obviously is not the case as is being seen. Perhaps it is their ancestry, even more of the celtic idea, a nation of brawlers who see any that come as invaders to be fought off. Maybe this latest group to be persecuted is just another excuse to get back to the old ways, best resigned to the past. But whatever descriptive word can be applied to those of that island, you can add intolerant, racist and sectarian to the mix. Those that oppose those words will do well to fight them where they stand. The world, and that includes Ireland is a world of migration, people have migrated away and to most parts of the world. The perpetrators here are not "Irish" they are "British" (ie they are worshippers of the crown and all it stands for), they do not identify with anything Irish and they wave the Union flag, Wake up and smell the dew, this is a VERY British problem, stop trying to fob it off elsewhere. I suppose the mainland Brits want to disown them for awhile ... so for now ... The Six Counties are suddenly "Irish" ... how very fucking convenient! Pirate
