Thread Name: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
Subject: RE: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
Peter that family I had my information from lived in Chatham Kent, the man worked for British Rail, his young family of school going age still retained their Irish accents as they hadn`t long moved. When he was in Ireland on holiday I spoke to the two young girls, they told me it was hell, constant bullying in the playground, the father approached the headmaster and while he tried to help, it still went on, the father eventually was transferred to London and the new Catholic School was a big improvement.

Peter I listened to my English workmates and their prejudice against the Blacks was an eye-opener for me, I had no problem, due to the fact that I played football and Cricket for the firm.

Here in the north of Ireland the eastern Europeans,Portogese, Filipinos,and Chinese are the victims of Loyalists gangs who won`t allow anyone but Protestants in their areas, as a result the Cathilic districts in the town are now very much multi-racial, I hope the migrants are left in peace, so far they are settling in ok.
