[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 534796, member: 22777"] Well we'll have to agree to differ on this one. Resentment towards the British in Ireland stems from Cromwell through to the battle of the Boyne onto the 1798 rising, the potato famine and on to the shootings of the 1916 leaders before we even reach the war for independence. In any case, the reason that England will always ship most of the blame for the like of that is the same reason that the Celtic countries will each view England as their biggest rival. Big fish in a small pond. When you're a 50 million odd nation surrounded by countries 1/10th your size and have been the dominant force in the region throughout history you can't expect any different. [/QUOTE]
