I look forward to LoonyLeopards review on the non up the English hole support in contemporary sport achievements once they research the history on oppression, famine, occupation and general rule over lands they criminally stole, occupied, neglected but leeched off of in the far and recent past and would have continued if not for a civil wars or intervention. But maybe we’re just well jel innit!

I understand the history taught in English schools is selective so a certain amount of confusion is forgiven but start researching for yourself on the reality of British cough cough English rule and policies near and far in the beloved empire. It’s DEFINITELY not jealousy

Even to the point a lot of English think it's hilarious to shout potato at Irish people, or the micro aggressions of refusing to pronounce our names properly, mock our language, or generally making jokes about 'Why don't you just rejoin us' remember some of us here are old enough to be searched by uk soldiers as kids when we went Christmas shopping in NI.
It's really not jealousy hun, if thats your take away you really really need to check out the history or even listen to how some English people speak to and about Irish people.

It’s weird as I know loads of Irish people who left Ireland to come and live in England so they can’t all hate us!

Yeah Suze I lived in London for a bit and spent more time than I should have explaining how Dublin wasn’t off the “mainland” and how we weren’t saved ffs. Most people were decent but the idiots always made themselves known and were exceptionally confused in the Irish/ UK matter when it was always f.ing clear and obvious geographically and politically. I think people. Bottom line is English people are taught they’re the good guys always. No room for anything else. Think they know the history (ooh it wasn’t good for a few years because of some dramatic people in Belfast who just didn’t like the idea of our monarch) but they don’t know the how and why. In this day and age it’s a few searches and cross references to get started.

Ah now here, this is as set up as The Hills. Every convo is basically scripted or you can see they’re exhausted by having to rephrase things until it’s what the producers want. AND WE STILL DONT GIVE A FLAP

I attribute the disjointed sentences in the above to typing and attending to a demanding geriatric cat that could not give a flying duck about why anyone outside of England would care as much as they do and that’s a lesson for us all.
