GUEST,I aint English, am a Yorkshireman - PM
Re: that has nothing to do with me and the majority of english, scottish, welsh, yorkshiremen and even lancastrians.

Well I think it has. You are the people who elected the government, and as such are responsible for the actions of that government and all it's agencies. The army being one such agency. The german people were punished because they elected Hitler. the Japanese were punished for the actions of their government etc.

I as a republican do not hate the english. I hate the idea that 2 world wars were fought for one principle - DEMOCRACY and the rights of small nations. The majority of Welsh people want to belong to the British Empire (or whats left of it) - the majority of Scots want to belong also to Britain - and that is fine and dandy, because that is Democracy,   but the majority of Irish DO NOT. and that is what I detest about the english, they are willing to go to war to defend democracy and do nothing to right a wrong at their very doorstep/ And before you come back about the majority in the 6 counties - they are not the majority on the island of Ireland, they never were and they never will be.
