fans in the trenches with me
I would be suffocated by all the white flags
We are going to fight the bloody battle to the very end

We shall defend our island
On the land and on the sea
We shall fight them on the beaches
On the hills and in the fields
We shall fight them in the streets
Blue genie **** off back in the lamp
Welsh people tend to suffer from a lack of confidence, hence the mass panic
I think its a lack of identity and self esteem also.
One minute they're Welsh, the next they're British. In fairness what have you to be proud of? Rugby and an infatuation with 'your' royal family. It borders on a cult
Its an open and shut case with the English and Scottish.
An open and shut case with the Scottish? Their 2 biggest teams are more confused and deluded than anyone! Celtic are followed by Catholics who fly the tri colour (not a saltire in view at Parkhead) and Rangers are followed by numbskulls who love the Royal family and fly the UJ(not a saltire in view at Ibrox)
The Irish spent yrs fighting against each other and is split into the Sth and the North.
In Wales, especially Cardiff we have always been a welcoming, cosmopolitan city, where what religion you are has never mattered, andracism and hatred has never been tolerated.
The reason so many of us are a bit down and negative about the City is, most of us have plenty of experience of how they can quite easily grab defeat from the jaws of victory.!!
Ireland was Catholics v Protestants? Its about Politics.
The Anglucan church was an arm of the state. It collected revenues for the state (tithes).
RC's were.....oh jeez look up catholic emancipation .
Let's have a geographical lesson. There are 4 points on the compass. Using your logic, the most northerly part of Ireland is in the south ( Co. Donegal)
'Religion came into it because of politics. Its not about Christianity. The Catholic / Nationalist people were put down by the Government, part of which was the Anglican church.
Some look upon it as a religious divide, its not. It was and always has been about equality, freedom and opportunity etc.
As for protestants being Unionist - check out Wolf Tone, Charles Stuart Parnell, Douglas Hyde etc. Many Republicans and Nationalist s were Anglican/non conformist. As for the Loyalist side, what do you reckon?
Not everything is black and white - unless you're a loyalist/orangeman of course.
By the way, check out who attacks Europeans/Refugees etc in Belfast. Its the narrow minded bigots who claim to be 'British'.
Also, look up the term 'Republican'
Its a dirty word over there.
