When they lay of me Yorkie, provocation will be responded to.

It seems strange to me that The Curator should have said this when most of the "laying on" has come from him and one or two of his pals.

This whole thread has saddened me as it gives a very different picture of the Irish people than that which I have gained from my, all too infrequent visits to both parts of Ireland.

I wish it could all be solved. It won't be as long as a few people keep feeding the hatred as The Curator and others are committed to doing. The Curator took a shaky story from one news paper while ignoring the fact that there were other versions. He related a situation in Iraq to the very different situation in Ireland and used it to condemn every Englishman. How does he think that will bring peace to his country?
