Merely the truth.
Your nation has done many, many, many horrible things.

Concentration camps.
Most historians point to the boer war as the first real systematic use of concentration camps.

Ah the typical British response. Its all the EU. No my friend it ain't, it required decades of indpendence in advance to have the social structures to get into the EU, and make the funding work. Look at Spain and Portugal, hardly as successful as we've been.
Your country has proved throught history it can't run anything well, its probably lucky that you do what the Americans tell you now.

Look at the North.

Its also in the EU. Gets tons of Money.
And is still a backward blackhole.

At its heart is that Britishness breeds an inability to be entrepeneurial, to look to the state for solutions rather than find them yourself.

I also presume that you are attempting to make some typical Irish-terrorist - 'Oh how my country was so badly treated by the British' point that the concentration camps used in the Boer war somehow equates to the EXTERMINATION camps used by the NAZIs (many of who the Republic of Ireland gave shelter to after WWII to avoid capture by the allies).

Your Country has done many many hideous things and have many disgusting bed-fellows.




Really?

I said nothing about the Nazi's, nor did I equate them.
Your nation called them Concentration Camps. Would you rather I call them the Happy Fun Day Camps?
Just because there not quite as bad as the Nazi's doesn't make them okay.
But Im sure you'll try and argue that.

As to WW2. Personally I disagree with Ireland's policy on Neutrality but it was made for practical reasons. Siding with Britain would have been like Finland allowing the Soviets to take over without a fight. And Neutrality requires been even handed with bad people.

"Celtic Tiger"
See its called CAPITALISM. We sell goods to the US and they give us money. And yeah we get benefits from EU memberships, because we aren't EU hating racist English people, we make deals with other nations.

Your pointing out the glaringly obvious without noticing the North has had the exact same conditions and been run by the British, failed miserably.
But its understandable after being educated by the British education system that you fail to understand such concepts.

And Blair choose Iraq as an independent policy .

Been honest I have no real dislike of the English, your merely a nation in need of help.

Run by the British.
And as they proved elsewhere in the world they can run a good country badly.
