[MrGnaes]

[becalmned]

I did nothing son.no excuses, fuck off you typical bigmouth irish prick,coudn't fight for shit.go and put a balaclava on, plant a bomb under someones car then run away and hide.

@becalmned Ireland was neutral with a massive bias towards the allies, i only wish the Germans invaded Britain and gave ye cunts a taste of your own medicine. They call them Huns because they allowed the swastika to fly at football games or maybe its because of the connections between the royal family and the nazis? Take your pick

[becalmned]

@swaaahtome I take it your definition for the word "hun" meaning german right? the slang word for them in ww1.by the way who's side were ireland on against the "huns" in ww2?

[swaaahtome]

The cheek of those ugly huns to sing whiskey in the jar, dumb fucks should stick to their own shitty songs.

[bouse23]

the band seemed good but they were playing an irish song (from munster no less) and ive seen more people dancing on a table

[PadhraicMulholland]

[Acertainfurrysomeone]

2:35-2:50

Irish instrument, Irish dancing, Scottish flags, Scottish kilts.

Get your own culture.

Ulster Scots has been traditionaly sidelined by Unionism and Loyalism. It was seen as of low prestige and there are anecdotes forom older people about being hit in school when speaking it. Not a sign of it being valued by British imperialism in Ireland. It has never been able to achieve a state recognition until recently becasue it has very little relevance to the political interests of the rulers of the British presence in Ulster, but that doesnt make it ridiculous, its a rare old tung :p
