Win? Win? We got out of Ireland and you think YOU won? If it wasn't for the fact that we will not give in to people who blow up little boys in supermarkets, we would have glady left the whole soggy dump years ago.

Isn't it just astonishing to have all these whinging Irishmen writing in to complain about English/British intolerance, which they know all about because they have lived there for years. Think carefully about that!

The Irish have a right to feel disgusted while they look back at the nasty and pointless English/British entanglement in Ireland. However they will have to eventually come to terms with the fact that only a tiny ruling elite bears responsibility for the lot of it. The common English folk knew little and cared less. This means when you go on about stuff that happened centuries ago we get the conclusion that you're whingers, grudge bearers and lacking in historical discrimination, (hence thinking killing English children and women who try to comfort dying soldiers is a worthwhile activity)as well as singing through the nose in that horrid way. If one came across an English person who continually bored one with dismal songs about the Royalist defeat at the battle of Edghill, and sang them at you as if you were personally responsible, then you would quickly come to understand why SOME Irish are viewed as tedious little shites.
