 How about...( Warning: I'm Irish)

I'm quite tired of British nationalists trying to legislate for the Irish when they know full well we are superstitious popish natives/ taigs/ fenians for whom rationality is an alien concept. This, of course, contrasts us with the rational superior master race English (or is it British?) who have civilised the rest of us barbarians (how convenient for the British!).
How about this irrational idea from a fully fledged member of the Irish papistry whose family have been killed fighting for Irish freedom against the English/British since as long as family and local folklore allows, and for much, much longer according to the written English (that should comfort you people) historical record. How about you people desist from telling us, the Irish people, that we are mere Brits who haven't discovered this yet ( as so many of you have already argued here). Perhaps we are simply just accepting that the overwhelming majority of Irish people who come near this board dismiss your little pipe-dream notion that is the ""British Isles"" for being the British colonial project that it is? Shoving your modern concept of Britishness upon this article and using Greek sources from 2000 years ago to support it is British jingoism at its most extreme, particularly when it asserts that the Irish people against all the evidence are ""British"". Will any British people here (with the honourable exception of Snowded) have honesty about Irish feelings and Irish history on this issue? Trying to tell us Irish people that we are ""British"" does indeed make you people fanatics.   "
