"The animosity you harbour is all yours." That is about as comforting as listening to a hip-hop version of 'Sailing By', Guest. 'In real life' you can be magnanimous as you want to be, about the Irish. The prejudice is nearly always 'anonymous'; a fact that in and of itself does not bother me (various permutations of 'Ohh-Ahh' would nearly suffice, however), but it just goes to show how unwilling the average Brit is to admit it. It's nearly a guilt complex, some of you have.
