She never said it was a terrible thing. You are completely overreacting. She is just tired of people assuming she British, probably. I would be too.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

[daniel-lewis-1985]

You should visit Ireland and not that stupid excuse of a country up north. The real Ireland, you will find a lot of people still have a very bitter taste in their mouths towards the English and UK. I personally am offended every time people confuse Ireland as being a part of the UK. Its easy to say what u are saying from within the confines of one of the most oppressive empires there has ever been. The **** your country put us through.

Of course she would be disgusted to be associated with the UK. Read a history book. You might learn a bit about why the UK really isnt that appealing.

Some upper-class colonial remnants, and some control-freaks in the government , might?

But 'we' ordinary working class folk that 'work with' and consider to be 'good friends with' DO NOT!!

I dont like..where this thread is headed....History would back up the Irish claim of ....a domineering , heartless , empire-building britain!...That..took whatever it desired from any neighbour or weaker nation that it could find in order to expand it's power on the world stage!

There can be no excuses!!.....Only apologies!......But would that heal any hurt?......I dont think so!....But you have mine anyway!

And is this really the place for this wound to be debated?...I think not.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

arsenalforever! You have completely just backed up why i got offended

"They live across the ocean and still think the own us"

This was exactly what i was trying to say you obviously have issues with us it showed last night and its defo showing with you now.

Get a grip

He doesn't have issues with the British. He has issues with the British who still think they own us. That is a perfectly fair viewpoint to hold.

I think you will find that it is you who is overreacting to everything, considering that's two Irish people in 24 hours who have merely enforced their independence, and you took it as being anti-British.

So yeah. It's you.

[Jase]

I missed it :/

['Conor]

shes right though?

[Chels]

I'd be pissed as well, it was like when I went to Mexico they kept reffering to us as English, I'm not *****ing English.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

wtf why is everybody getting so worked up about it, does it matter? the people who are getting offended are the 'dem bloody foreigners cumin ea takin us jobs an the dont even speak th'launguage' type

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Her overeaccction had made me overeact

[bansheewails]

see this is why history - world history and geography - should be made compulsory in schools! Then the daft Australian wouldn't make the mistake, would he!

['Conor]

[Big Brother Fan]

Like a true Cork bai. Gwan I sed.

[MrGaryy]

What the **** LOL I saw it too and to say she 'got really offended' is a bit of an over statement. She simply said that she would get angry if someone called her British, which is perfectly understandable considering the history. Not to mention, would you not be a bit offended if some said that you were say, Icelandic?

I was born in Glasgow but raised in London. I'm British; people in N-Ireland aren't even British but they're considered part of GB.

I think it's offensive how people in the RoI aren't allowed to vote in some of our competitions. Like this one for example. Caoimhe is from The Rep' yet her peeps wont be able to vote for her to win or w/e if she makes it that far, which IMHO takes the p***!

Aye. We used to be able to. And they still hold open auditions here. It's Big Brother for the geographical region of the British Isles, but we are left a bit in the dark.

We're not able to vote in American competitions because we're a different country. The Republic if Ireland is a different country so they can't vote in our competitions. It makes perfect sense to me. It's not discrimination.
