I don't have a problem with the Irish: but I'm always amused by those Scots who pretend to be Irish. <br /><br />Your last paragraph only advertises your tendency to see everything in black and white. Did you know that the occupiers of the GPO in O'Connell St in 1916 were booed by their countrymen and women in the streets of Dublin after they were arrested? So much for the Irish fighting the British every step of the way.

And I note that you did not challenge any of the points I made. Are you one of those who sit in pubs singing about Scottish freedom and watching braveheart?

Ireland's long running wars with Britain created tensions between Irish Catholics and Protestants but even then De Valera was responsible for legislation which guarded the rights of all Irish citizens including Jews and Protestants. <br /><br />I detect a certain animosity to the Irish in your comment and that is not uncommon among the snp’s sinister ethnic brand of nationalism. It is also fuelled by deeply ingrained anti Irish/Catholic sectarianism and racism in Scotland. This is further exacerbated by the historical fact that the Irish fought the British invader every step of the way and paid the price in blood while the Scots. took to the pubs and sang songs about freedom and watched ‘braveheart’ <br />Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-52387684276714064512012-12-27T12:03:55.986+00:002012-12-27T12:03:55.986+00:00The usual incoherent nonsense.

If you can't give an example, perhaps you might admit that you made that up. After all, it's not as though an independent Scotland would be likely to follow the example of someone like De Valera in the way he allowed the intimidation and expulsion of Protestants and Jews from the Irish Free State, is it? That's an example of the type of ethnic nationalism I'd expect you to despise, yes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
