'Unionist' has always been a term of abuse down here.
It shows up the Nationalist and Republican waffle about 'mutual respect' in a future
'United Ireland' as ballsology.
It shows Irish Nationalism as narrow-minded, racist and bigoted.
No Brits ( West or otherwise ) and Northern Unionists welcome here.
Well, don't worry. The people of Northern Ireland don't want a United Ireland -
so it won't be happening.
The abuse and bitter rantings of Shinners and other assorted pub patriots are a
complete waste of time and immature fantasy......
"down here" is where Henry?
You're not Irish.
Eh, it's the term 'Londonderry' not the term 'Unionist' that is being discussed. I have complete respect for unionists but I'm not going to use colonialist terms like 'Londonderry' to show respect. It's outrageous for a Minister in the Irish government to stand up in the Dáil and refer to the Irish city of Derry as 'Londonderry'. If he was a northern unionist I guess it would be somewhat understandable. The fact is that the Irish Parliament is a symbol of Irish freedom from colonial rule. Colonialist labels and terms have no place in it.
I'm Irish, if it's any of your business.
I take it you're German - with a Nazi namesake....
It's not racist or bigoted to want independence and justice. Granted though you do seem to know a fair bit about bigotry.
Of course with parity of esteem and all that our side should insist that Dublinderry should have as much official exposure as the other official name eh?-anyone ..anyone-no?
Read the title of the thread, fool.
I've always thought the 'Londonderry Air' a lovely tune.....
