As we approach Paddy's Day (bejayzus), I hope we can distinguish between the romanticised, forty-shades-of-green nostalgia from expatriate Irish-folk, and the blind, hateful stupidity of those hiding behind the Orange, White and Green.

These bastards didn't just kill two British squaddies in cold blood, (they dropped them with a few rounds, then unloaded into them on the ground), they even shot the Domino's Pizza Guys who were delivering to the barracks. The soldiers killed were about to deploy to The 'Stan.

I am pro-Republican. I believe we should find a way (it will take a long time) to enable self-government across the whole of Ireland without waking the beast of the British descendants living in Ulster.

Meanwhile, the 'better' me hopes we find the gumen and bring them to justice. The 'worse' me wants a few deep-cover boys from the Hereford Gun Club to find 'em.

I worked in Chelsea (not the London one) briefly, and I have 'been' to Southie, but I have no shortage of memories of Irish-Americans who happily shovelled money into the IRA's pcokets to keep the Leprechauns smiling, and never considered what the bullets they funded would do.

Is Ireland really worth fighting for?

I feel the same. Real IRA, a bunch of murdering Bank Robbers now ...

This also highlights why Northern Ireland exists in the first place. They hurt their own cause, not further it. You would have thought they would have seen that with the progress made since the the 1980's. Talking works, I hope the rest of the mechanism does not falter due to a few basketcases.

Oh true, yeah, I just can't consider them to be so much nostalgic and romanticized than bitter and pissed off--ready to fund their ancestral anger as much as their own. That's pretty much a stereotype, but whatever.

I agree with your general point.

You need to sleep with some young lass, smoke three boxes of cigarettes and play a few Eric Clapton tunes on your guitar. This is your penance.

So what's the color of the boathouse at Hereford?

Fuck the British descendants living in Ulster. What's the fear, exactly, that the Taoiseach is going to round them all up and put them in camps?
