Subject: RE: BS: Racist Capital of Europe
I think you are absolutely right in your analysis of the Belfast situation, Divis Sweeney. But I think, as regards Lewes, that you should not ignore that what they are recalling is the disgusting burning alive of a group of Protestants by Catholics a little over 400 years ago, one of the seriously repellent bits of English history. Most things in England get forgiven and forgotten quite quickly, but that one has stuck in Lewes memory. And who can blame them?
