yes its a weird business. oscar Wilde apparently was a great supporter of the English in the Boer War - (The war my Grandad - a Dublin man fought in, as well as the first world war).

Quite why Ocsar shuld have felt anything but hatred for the British establishment, after what they had done to him - I really can't work out.

i think maybe these issues are more confused than zealots of either side would have us think.
