Thread Name: Which Irish Troubles Songs are Offensive
Subject: RE: Which Irish Troubles Songs are Offensive
Mick,
Your comment was about songs the English sing.
We never sing Orange songs.
I sing many Irish songs, but I do not even know any Orange songs.
Any English Mudcatter will confirm that you never hear Orange songs in England.
West of Scotland maybe, and possibly parts of Liverpool, but even there never in folk venues.
You were wrong about the English singing plenty of songs offensive to Irish people.
They do not sing any such.


" Because to debate that, I would have to acknowledge that the English had a right to the six counties."
I would never acknowledge that either Mick.
England neither has nor had any such right.
As soon as they stop voting for British rule we are out, and that day can not come soon enough for us.

Nowhere in my posts was I defending Unionists.
I am not part of the Irish sectarian divide.
I am neutral.
