Seeing as I have already said if you want to define what an average Brit is feel free to start another thread I would rather you answer the question "have we actualy decided if the average citizen of England, Scotland and Wales is anti-Irish?".

The thread title is 'Are we anti-Irish' after all. I was the originator I think I can safely define 'we' as the average citizen of England, Scotland and Wales. I do consider myself such.

I think I can safely say that we are not.

After the statement "MOST PEOPLE I KNOW hate the 'British'", however, can we also safely say that the average Irishman is anti-British? With your definition of 'British' being not one who lives on the UK mainland but one who sticks to the remnants of British Imperialism can we also presume that the average Irishman holds the same opinion? Therefore is it true to say that the average Irishman hates a group of bigots who live in the past?

If so we are in total agreement and must begin to wonder what we are discussing...

:D
