I know, Jan. But my point is, how could there have been hatred against the Irish? The British soldiers in Antrim and Ulster were officially there to protect the Catholics against any discrimination, at least that is what they said at the start. Hence my comparison to Afghanistan.
If what Keith wrote were true, surely this mentality would reflect in today's situation, and people in Britain would be hating Afghans, and yet there are many Afghans living in Britain, and no-one shouts hatred at them.
If Keith writes a book about British history and British sentiments, I'll also write one to counter it and give an opposite version
