Did anyone witness the conversation between her and john on live feed?

John asked if southern ireland was uk and she got very offended and was like "No i hate it when people say that, its not uk" I was actually quite offended and i dunno why.

I know theres alot of polotics and s h i t in ireland but i didnt think someone would feel that strongly about not wanting to be british and she got quite angry about it

I have a feeling she is gonna be hated

I get a bit offended when people call me British, even though I am. I prefer English.

But yeah, I'd definitely be annoyed if people called me British when I wasn't.

daniel-lewis-1985 · 10-06-2010, 11:57 AM

Its the way she said it she looked very angry and that just made me think "woah"

Because we fought long and hard to get our country back from Britain and we are not British. I don't see why you would have a problem with that! 800 years you know!

No doubt we English "deserved" the IRA attrocities? Don't think Steve would see it that way - he was only 19 when they blew his legs off.

Seriously though, live and let live! The flag couldnt be that bothersome, its just Green White and Gold! Very inoffensive colours.

I hate that awkward feeling when an English person offers you soup!!!

Northern Ireland is part of the UK but is not part of Great Britain.

The UK, under the Act Of Union of 1800, consisted of Great Britain and (all of) Ireland.

So we were once in the UK. And all the better for it. All the best town planing are architecture are a legacy of British rule. So is the parliament and the judiciary.

Dublin is as British a town as you'll find anywhere in the UK.

Steve was a soldier. He signed up for it and put himself into the army. When you join the army you risk your life, it's the nature of the job. There were casualties on both sides you know.
