There's a reason so many of them are here.

Yep me too. I am seeing things i thought i'd never see in Ireland. Where i am is okayish , there is talk of an old  hotel being turned into an ipas centre; tourism is massive here so hopefully a big pushback, but most people here seem very pro FF/FG and compliant.
​​​​​​
​​ . . .  My plan has always been to leave and retire somewhere a bit warmer, but ive still got a few more years to go before that and want to stay here working until then.

I agree with all that. I,ve lived in Kerry for 30 years now..the first 25 were hard at times but it never crossed my mind to leave. The last 5 have gotten worse and worse and leaving is definitely on the cards now. 

I'm on holiday in Majorca now leaving for home tonight,back to Ireland a country I used to love,but it's turned into a proper Kip, with ipas fuckers in every town how small it is.Entrepenure of the year is a cսnt that takes over a hotel and fills it with black males 20/30 walking around the place with fuck all to do.We need to get to fuck out of Europe,our government are a shower of yes  men and women answering to Europe.
Rant over boys,but I'd get to fuck out of Ireland if I was younger.

That's an interesting point.

 As always we needed cheap labour to build our roads and railways etc and so imported Irish people. As you can guess they weren't the most educated example of the Island and hence got the thick Irish stigma.

Of course they had good cause to complain as when the Anglo-Irish owners said stop growing the crops you are currently surviving on and grow potatoes and they were forced to comply. Then the blight came and they staved without any aid from the British Government. Remember these Irish where also citizens of Great Britain then. The Union Jack flying over every municipal town and castle in the country. 

Yeah they have a right to be angry how the Brits treated them.

Dunno about that. I think Kneecap's recent statement is illustrative of how they like to couch their hostility to us, "We don't hate the English, we fucking love the English people, we just hate their Government." The English government is the British government. 

But I think it's all bollocks. They just resent a bigger more successful neighbouring state putting them in the shade, and all the arguments they recite are just retrofitting that sentiment. Not that they don't have valid grievances, of course, just they would be footnotes in history if they weren't stewing in resentment from living in our shadow.

see New Zealander's attitudes to Aussies; Canadian's to Yanks; Greeks to Turks. Etc etc. Yes, I know they all different stories but it's the same dynamic.

My experience of the Irish were that they were  more anti-arrogant English cսnt than anti-British.

The English abroad are amongst the worst

My Mums family come from Oysterhaven (Near Kinsale) lovely place and people. No Anti English down there, that I've ever seen anyway. 

I spent 3 months working there back in 1997. My client was An Post (The post office).  My hotel was in Lower Baggot Street.on the south side. Pretty central. I have to say I didn't like it at all. A bit of a depressing town and hugely overrated. 

Not too much ant-English stuff and my team was predominatley Irish. I got a lot more anti-English comments in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Had a lot of Irish friends over the years and visited often. They have their charms and I love Cork and the countryside around it. But I prefer the North. 

Immigration is hitting them hard. I remember last time I was there seeing rural towns with many Africans wandering about. Dublin has become like London. That was well over decade ago, so no idea how bad it’s got now. Happened so quickly it must have been quite distressing for many. As they saw themselves as victims of anti-immigrant sentiment from their experiences in England, they had a culture of championing the immigrant and were reluctant to criticise what was going on in their own country. Perhaps that’s how it happened so quickly. Think that’s changing now and they are resisting it. 

As for identity, it seems to be mainly about them being anti-British. If Britain disappeared there would be huge identity crisis in the country. They would no longer know who they were. They’re dependent on us. 

I have also heard it said that the Irish throw themselves into whatever belief is currently fashionable. That’s why they were such devout Catholics. When they lost their faith they threw themselves into Woke harder than any other nation did. 

Also, always wondered if Liverpool’s victim culture came from its high number of Irish immigrants. 

In general I like them. We all have our faults and they probably have no more than us if we are objective about it.
