| I know, John, it can be hard for some to hold onto complex and apparently contradictory thoughts and opinions at the same time. I'm not sure what you are referring to about me being a self-proclaimed supporter of the IRA; if anyone cares what I think, I have never supported the IRA's actions, but I do sympathise with their aims for a United Ireland, on condition, of course, that it is what the people of Ireland choose, including the Unionists. How do I live amongst the English, you ask. Very easily really, I have found London to be a city full of the most decent, tolerant, vibrant and resourceful people I have met. It was a beacon of opportunity and tolerance that drew people like me to come here to find opportunities and open doors where they didn't exist back home; this was the eighties when the Church and self-interested politics and small minded sectarianism was in the ascendency. Fortunately that has changed now. Unfortunately, things have changed for the worse here, but I live in hope. I'll let you try and figure out the reference to comfort breaks! Have a great day! |
