Have you any idea how many Irish Catholics died in the two world wars in the armed forces? I suspect if you've met Irish people who don't like you, it's probably because you are a complete wanker and they see you for what you are.<br /><br />I have no problem at all with Irish Protestants and your description of them is equally off the mark. I have a friend who worked in the Northern Irish Office for the MOD at the height of the troubles. He told me the story of how a young Catholic civil servant got married. Rev Ian Paisley was the only politician who gave him a card and a present. <br /><br />The reason that peace broke out in Ireland is because everyone was heartily sick of violence. <br /><br />The way you stereotype people just shows your lack of intellect. Desparation drives people of all creeds and colours to extreme action. I suppose you have equally stupid views about Jews, Blacks, Muslims, chinese, Polish and the French. <br /><br />As to the german au pairs you shagged, I hope they weren't too traumatised and hope they did't form the opinion that all Englishmen were rcist ignorant twats.Rog Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722474464197237668.post-44443810714695978262011-03-18T22:50:15.947+00:002011-03-18T22:50:15.947+00:00Rog, there is absolutely nothing racist about it a...Rog, there is absolutely nothing racist about it and until 1970 I had no particular feelings one way or another concerning the Irish, except that it was probably better to have them on your side in a fight. But you see, when a small minority of them started blowing the arms and legs off English men, women and children, and when it became absolutely clear that they had the silent support of most of their wretched countrymen (see Kevin Myers, passim), well, I began to get the idea that they didn't much like the English. I suppose if I was as stuffed full of contemporary silliness as you, Rog, I might even suggest that <i>they</i> were racists! (Heavens to Betsy, say it ain't so!)<br /><br />Anyway, as I said before, by and large your average Proddie is grim, stern, dull but trustworthy, and your average Fenian is a smiling, charmer to share a pint with but you would be well advised not to trust him further than you can piss into a gale.<br /><br />Now, why don't you trot along to your local nick and inform on me, Rog, it's an old Irish custom, after all.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, I had similar feelings about the Germans for similar reasons but then, in my youth I came across (if you'll excuse the expression) one or two charming German au pair girls and learned 'piece 'n' love, man'!

The point about Kevin Barry was that if he was as untrustworthy as you make "Fenians" out to be, he would have sold out his comrades to get let off.<br /><br />On reflection, in the sober light of day, there is an even more pertinant point. Many young men such as Kevin have lost their lives due to ignorance and prejudice of the type you display here. Your comments are clearly inciteful and full of hate. Personally I couldn't be bothered, but if you continually make such racist and inflammatory remarks, sooner or later someone will report you to the old bill and you'll have your collar felt. <br /><br />You may think being racist is big and clever, it really isn't it just confirms the fact that you are a moron.Rog Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722474464197237668.post-31262325648042726162011-03-18T14:23:22.871+00:002011-03-18T14:23:22.871+00:00Oh, I see, you mean the Irish problem came about b...Oh, I see, you mean the Irish problem came about because of what those ghastly French rotters did to our 'Arold - the rotters!
