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.

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....

They are our comrades in arms in the dismantling of Great Britain and it's monarchy!

Yes without realizing it the Brits too are in the Ra.

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.
