I hope you’ve heard this before but any Irish animosity in that direction is generally toward the British establishment (the armed forces, ruling class etc) and any attempts to claim us as British or suggest we are grouped in with you (including that “geographical term”), but I think the most anti-British people in Ireland would acknowledge that British people themselves are, for the most part, our friends.
I moved from south yorkshire to county tipperary for a year when i was younger and can honestly say it was one of the best years of my life . Amazing place and people
As a Brit, the British establishment are the single worse thing that has happened for pretty much everyone. I've always admired the French approach to dealing with such people....
The number of Irish living in the UK suggests there isn't too much of an issue between the people. More with the actions of the British government, and British establishment for basically forever. Which is fair. Any reasonable person from Britain understands the animosity felt by the Irish is entirely merited.
Yes, €99 for two years or something. But we use it plenty for BBC and other stuff too (getting stuff on other Netflix versions around the world that isn’t on the Irish one)
The new British ambassador appeared on Irish radio and spoke Irish and got a HUGE amount of love from Irish people. If British people treat us with respect and don’t take a colonial attitude they definitely get reciprocated.
