Just a comment about the lack of culture of the English and the existance of Irish 'celtic' culture and tradition. Irish culture is not 'celtic' and culture and tradition between Ireland and England have cross polenated for nearly 1000 years. Perhaps it's time for the English to take a snapshot of their culture and reinvent it as the true English one (surely it is our'celtic' cousins who have reinvented tradition). Or then again the English could accept that their culture is not set in stone and accept what has survived and is relevant and what has been allowed to fall by the way side.

ps. I have not oppressed anyone. But I quite expect to have my opinions, culture and history oppressed by mudcats 'celtic commandos'
