Really has raised its ugly head since the Queens death hasn't it. I've seen the Celtic mural and heard the Shamrock Rovers fans on YouTube etc. Really hard to understand it. I suppose when the Pope dies it starts all over again from the other side. I just don't get it. |  | | |  |

So you're saying Leitrim isn't feeling blue?
My wife's Irish and I have to say a lot of her family over there have offered their sympathies, been very empathetic actually and I've seen a few touching things on Instagram from them. They're mostly in the middle though, and I appreciate it's a very complicated legacy. Witnessing and growing up through those troubles 1st hand almost certainly will evoke certain opinions and emotions which is entirely understandable.
More widely I've never experienced anti English sentiment personally in Ireland, although I don't doubt it exists. My wifes Auntie did say I had stolen one of their lambs when we got married but I'm pretty sure she was joking. |
That’s because a large chunk of Irish nationalism is about freedom from oppressors and not so much celebrating being the oppressor. Despite disingenuous claims they are same arse with different cheeks.
Similar energy as those who scream anti-white sentiment is reverse racism.
No Irish republican I’ve ever met wanted to occupy and rule over English land. [Post edited 12 Sep 2022 16:03]

To be honest the Irish are very friendly to the English in general. They may like to pretend otherwise but we obviously have a lot in common. I personally quite enjoy the English/Irish craic, I've drunk in pubs all over North West and border area for 20 odd years and never had any trouble |  | | |

The only parts that would have done it are the same places that have Union Jack bunting lining the street year round and maybe some parts of Belfast.
I can’t expect any of the areas where hunger striker memorials adorn walls would have done it.
But as a regular here for 10 years who watched the Corbyn Smeary McSmearface saga first hand I can tell you large chunks of this forum have most their understanding and history of the troubles from BBC News in the 70s/80s, and still dine out on it decades later. |
Exactly, it's absolute nonsense that the occupants
of Republican, Socialist bars were singing her praises | | | |

Politicians maybe. But the occupants of Republican, Socialist bars, very unlikely. | | | |

I think it was very magnanimous of Michelle O'Neill. She's a grown up politician who wants to live in the future rather than the past.
Likewise, the Queen shook hands with Martin McGuinness, who may well have had a hand in the death of Lord Mountbatten.
With Irish unity inevitable in the next generation or so then people of both sides need to be more respectful of each other.
Up here, history has very little to do with sectarianism. It's just an excuse to be a hateful c**t. Whether you are a pissed up Orange walker of celtic fan singing IRA songs. [Post edited 12 Sep 2022 16:30]

"She's a grown up politician who wants to live in the future rather than the past", and ...
"... Martin McGuinness, who may well have had a hand in the death of Lord Mountbatten"
Does this mean you are not a grown up politician? |  | | |

By Glasser’s old benchmark that pro Senn Fein sentiment link he posted would make him a terrorist sympathiser. I wouldn’t dwell too much on what he posts. | |

I think Michelle is very clever and plays the game very well. I personally don't see the majority of Unionists backing down or in anyway trying to intergrate into a some kinda unified Ireland in the short term ( I hope I'm wrong)
Talking of Mountbattens death ( he was killed about 20 minutes from here), always rumours of serious collusion with the British state. (Apparently he had 'become embarrassing') [Post edited 12 Sep 2022 18:08]

Personally speaking the religious bigotry exhibited by both Celtic and Rangers is why I don’t want them in the English leagues. It’s vile. |
and has no place in football or sport in general, and should be impartial to ALL rivalries except perhaps other team(s) you have a healthy competitiveness in the chosen sport.
It should be accessible to all and victimise no one.
In an ideal world.... |  |

You really need to lose this obsession which continues to manifest itself with an attempt at a gotcha moment.
I made a reasonable and balanced point about reconciliation in the north of Ireland.
Firstly, I’m not a politician. Secondly, I was giving an example of the late Queen moving forward with forgiveness rather than living in the past.
I made my feelings on Martin McGuinness known at the time of his death. 4th reply in.

On that opening page of BlueFishes post there are a couple of racist pricks who thankfully aren’t around anymore. |  | | |

If you know the history of Ireland, it shouldn't be hard to see why a good proportion of the Irish are not enamoured with the English crown. |  |

Obsession may arse.
You literally commend one person for moving on and then make an unsubstantiated accusation against another about an event from a long long time ago. | | | |

You are obviously looking for a row and I'm not prepared to facilitate that.
Enjoy your evening. | |
