Brits as a group are neither pro, nor anti, Irish. Individuals may tend in either direction, based on their personal experience in dealing with Irish people.

Many Brits are undoubtedly anti IRA, but the IRA form a very small percentage of the Irish nation.

I don't know who it was, but sombody once said "All generalisations are wrong, even this one".

Hold that thought, it's a good'un.
