Why do protestant unionists in northern ireland insist they are “anglo saxon lowland scots” and not celtic irishmen?

      Do you have a point?

      Yer man asked me to explain the Plantations. I did. Now your making empty noises. I don’t have anything left to say and I don’t think you do either.

        all I want is for you to engage with one of my criticisms instead of disengaging like a coward when challenged on your objectionable views. if you’re such an authority on Irish nationalism that should be no problem for you?

          I didn’t know I was being criticised.

          I think I gave a fairly factual summary of “what were the plantations” which is what was asked.
