For anyone that ever wondered why the Irish hated the British establishment so much and fought so hard for independence from them, now you know why!

@clemfandango619 22 дня назад

Yeah, but you give a lot of mixed signals: hating the English, but speak their language and desire to live in their societies.

I know this sounds off topic, but I’ve just started watching Peaky Blinders ( late to the party) and I had poor family from Ireland living there at that time, and I am marvelling that I’m here at all ! Such resilience and determination our ancestors had ! Feel like I should be thankful to them , more often !

@willslingwood 11 дней назад

Resilience is right! It wasn’t stamina or any kind of wilful strength, just the sheer human quality of going on, going on. This is written into the DNA of anybody who’s ancestors suffered greatly for many generations in the past few hundred years, it takes a a long time to overcome this generational trauma… and shows that we have MUCH more in common with today’s refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants than we have with the wealthy elite that so many of us, sadly, aspire to be like.

Landlords in the UK are doing similar today. Turf people out regardless because they cannot afford extortionate rents. My friend has just ended up homeless and is in a homeless hostel. He lost his job and then got kicked out as the landlord increased his rent by another £250pm.

If any good has come out of all these documentaries and the knowledge that has been past on it’s that now the English have some idea why they are hated the World over. They used to walk around with their heads in the sky with all the airs and graces, oblivious to what they and their country had done, the pain and suffering they had caused. Now they might just start to see the wee Irish aren’t what they thought we were. All we were doing was looking for a way out. A way for them to leave us be

@MB-hc9tk 3 дня назад

Heartbreaking but also makes you wonder just how many British people have Irish heritage and don’t realise it …the figure they gave in my sons history book was an estimated figure of 250000 Irish people went to England as part of the diaspora during famine (or genocide times whatever way you want to look at it ) but perhaps even more. Having spoke to British friends over the years many did not know a fraction of what went on. I’m not sure if any of it at all is taught in British schools as part of their history ( considering Ireland was part of the uk at the time I feel it should be seen as part of their history too ) perhaps then people would be more understanding.

You mean all the people who pick food crops in Britain, without whom you wouldn't have produce to buy. Those "recent arrivals" from Eastern Europe before Brexit started businesses at a rate higher than native-born Brits, worked hard and supported themselves very well. They were a huge benefit to the British economy. Your attitude is straightforward bigotry.
