Can't we all just admit that there's a little part of all of us that is bigoted/prejudiced and just face up to it. Human nature. Have yet to hear one person on here admit it when it's so obviously the case. We'll be chasing our tails ad infinitum if not. You're right. We are all a little bigoted bu...

So you are saying Earl should apologise for the actions of the Ulster Protestant community from 150 years ago!

There wasn't one cause - multiple factors resulted in the famine. Sorry - that's crap & shows a remarkable lack of knowledge even for you. There was one cause for the famine - failure of the primary food source. There were multiple causes for so many people dying because of it - that is the issue. ...

He didn't say it was no big deal, he said there was other things also done by the Empire which were larger possibly worse which therefore grabs more attention. Where does he say it's no big deal? Holocaust grabs far more attention than many other histroical genocides, it doesn't make Irish famine, ...

I've had this out with various Britishers over the years - by all means support your military, but don't expect people from another country to. We've enough ex servicemen of our own that need support, thank you very much. What if a mainlander came out with this then: I've had this out with various ...

Dear Earl, Whilst I may be a WUM you are a genuinely nasty individual. This thread is just another which proves what a horrible bigot you are. Very few if any Irish posters like you, in fact most detest you for your despicable views. I say this in all honesty, wise the fudge up, open your mind a li...

Don't forget that during the famine, most northern Prods were actively lobbying to the British government to withhold relief and humanitarian aid that could have saved millions of lives, as they saw the famine as a golden opportunity to kill off 'Popery' on the island and convert the surviving popu...

Lino. UK history will cover UK events, that much is a given, Ireland is no longer in the UK and events like the Famine while huge in Irish context wasn't anywhere near as big in the history of British Empire where colonies had famines that killed 10s of millions. It's like the independence of India...

Ultimately for "Nordie Prods" as you've so delightfully named us, it wasn't . And in the overall scheme of the UK's history it certainly isn't . We covered it in school just as we covered the Norman Conquest and the Plantations. It should of. Therein lies the resentment. 1. Ulster's Protestant popu...

I know your game earl in the general scheme of things but this is sickening apologism. Apologism? Where, I'm stating facts about British history. The Famine was a huge tragedy in Irish history, but that isn't the same as being huge in British History . Jesus Christ. :uhoh:[/quote] There is nothing ...

Far more important to me to understand the world we live in than what annoyed some country hicks in the far outskirts of western Europe :thumbup: Winnie don't forget that your ancestors chose to move to this far outskirt because they were too poor and unable to cut it on the British mainland, so ag...

To be honest we need to keep James in football as long as possible he is that bitter and stupid he would be aprine target for the dissidents to recruit. On a similar vain there are certain estate agents who are also that bitter and stupid do we must hope the housing market keeps secure. Interesting...

It should be a matter of personal choice to wear one or not, getting into a frenzy every time a public figure fails to do so is beyond pathetic. Exactly, especially in the case of people like McClean who may not consider himself British or BOD/Kearney who aren't British. But lots of British people ...
