[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1024874, member: 45598"] Have they really? The Commission immediately backed down, blamed an administrative error and apologised after the article 16 blunder saying it wouldn't happen again. That's after years of negotiating to protect it. Nationalists motivations are anti-Britain in Ireland rather than anti-British, and rightly so, the disagreement stems from Irish land being stolen from the natives and given to British settlers starting with the plantations in c17 and only ending in early c20. There has been no reparations or any real initiative taken by the British gov to rectify that so the position shouldn't change until something is done about it. Presently most are happy to live in peace and not as oppressed second class citizens like throughout the 20th century and it's accepted it's not a worthy cause at the expense of that peace by the vast majority. But trying to tar the community as anti-British because of that is dangerous to everyone. [/QUOTE]
