The Curator BS: Are we anti-Irish? (538* d) RE: BS: Are we anti-Irish? 29 Aug 05


I was living in Worcester in October 1974 when an active service unit was busy in the West End of London. Something the British stuck the wrong people in prison for. Anyway the guy I was staying with advised me to think about getting back to Ireland as soon as possible due to the anti Irish feeling throughout England.I saw it first hand and it was nasty. Irish families that had lived there for years became targets. None that I was aware of were Republicans. I can accept the English feeling towards the units that were operating in London, Birmingham and Manchester at that time, but to wreck Irish owned corner shops and public houses showed me more about their mentality than ours. I see it's again occuring again against the muslims. This natinality and culture has brought wealth to this country, and the nation that brought us combat 18 and the National Front are again making life miserable for non W.A.S.P.'s. I know many English men and women that lived long and happy lives in the North of Ireland throughout the troubles without a word said against them. In fact many were friends of mine. But then again we are Irish !
