I would actually class myself as a patriot and a nationalist in the sense it is used in Irish politics at times but there is a worrying strand of scapegoating re-emerging in European politics.  Nationalism in the sense of disenfranchising other people does not appeal to me in the slightest. 

I don't subscribe to any notions of a 'pure Irish' or 'pure English' race. I find such ideas odd and we seem to be seeing the ideas of Herrenvolk revisited in many places on social media.
