Why do the Brits hate the Irish?

Question

I always tought it was Irish who hates the Brits. Is it because you are terrorists that they dont like you? LOL

Could you enligten me?

Answer 1

Isnt interesting that you can call irish people terrorists and nothing is done but call a muslim a terrorist and you face the chop  

Answer 2

There is no such thing as 'British'.  This concept has been created and forced upon the world by upper-class English fools to give the impression that England is greater than it is.  The ordinary people of England are not at fault.

I think it's insulting to the people of Scotland, England and Wales to continue using that term.

Answer 3

You are a fud.End of story.

Answer 4

The Republic of Ireland, which is of course not part of the United Kingdom, has always felt some disdain towards the UK, mostly politically.

When you mention terrorism, I think you may be referring to Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK. Alot of terrorism in Northern Ireland due to the English involvement in Northern Ireland. The catholic base in Northern Ireland (the men named Paddy and Seamus) have always been against the Protestant British rule that began hundreds of years ago (the men named Thomas, Oliver, etc..) So in Nothern Ireland, you have the Catholics versus the Protestants (who came from England).

Now as far as the country of England is concerned, that is one angry island nation. There is even a book called "The Angry Island" if you would like to research the subject more.  

Answer 5

I've never come across anyone who hated the Irish even at the height of the IRAs bombing campaign, when Dad came in the sixties he met a few who disliked the Irish for taking their jobs but generally speaking we've always minded our own business in the UK & got on with it.  Irish people living in the UK generally speaking have a different view of the British because we live among them and we have a different perspective on the relationship between the UK and the Republic of Ireland.  

I think whoever has taught you this cr*p has a very simplistic view of things and both of you really need to open your eyes, read a newspaper or a history book and see how things really are.

Answer 6

I never met any Brits that disliked me because I was Irish.

However, in my time I have met a few particular obnoxious men who happened to be British and who decided that I didn't like them because they were British when in fact I only told them to get lost and leave me alone because they were drunk, obnoxious, rude and generally deluded as regards their own attractiveness. But then there are men like that from all countries in the world, not just Britain. Plenty like that in Ireland too ....

Answer 7

The only thing more stupid than the post above me is the question.

The relationship between Britain and Ireland has never been better.  There is a mutual respect there which is hard to find comparisons to.

Sure we like to beat each other in football but it's only head cases in Sinn Fein who chant the 'Brits out mantra' to justify murder and Brain dead BNP members who don’t like anybody who’s not a white Supremacist British bigot who hate people based on nationality.

Grow up.

Answer 8

It might have something to do with the fact that the English invaded and tried to conquer the Irish over and over again for a few hundred years.  

Answer 9

Not even a one million watt bulb could enlighten a mind as dull as yours  

Answer 10

Your question is asking why 60,000,000 hate the irish

Do you think 60,000,000 people all have the same opinion of one nation?

Come on, ask a sensible question please.

Answer 11

The word 'Brit' represents an English person, so you may as well say 'English'.

We are not terrorists, but we did have a problem at the borders and in Northern Ireland with thugs using religion as an excuse to vent their hatred.The problem is that England thought it would be a great idea invade Ireland and has left problems ever since.

I don't know if they English hate us, but we Irish don't exactly love them for the misery they caused us.I do know however that they did'nt like us in the '70's & 80's when IRA bombs came to England.Personally, I am not that sympathnic as my mom and her family had to live for decades with bomb scares,marches,riots & fear.England only took the Troubles seriously when the bombs began in England.

Answer 12

Now Adam, you aren't what's known as a class of a troll are you? Or maybe you're a WUMMER (Wind up merchant - we guessed you wouldn't know what WUMMER stood for)

We're not going to dignify your silly question with an answer, so oiche mhaith agus codladh samh.

Answer 13

I'll just pop another Valium and follow Podge and Rodges example of calm indifference. Well done boys.

Answer 14

The Brits don't have a problem with us and we are not terrorists. I would enlighten you but you're too ******* thick for it to work. Git.
