  1. well said, u cd have also told her that around 4,000 british settlers were killed by the irish in ireland in the 1600s in a genocide and that the irish invaded and colonised what we now call scotland (scoti = an irish tribe)

  5.  @musashidanmcgrath  Scoti is a Latin name for the Gaels, it doesnt mean raiders. The romans didn't refer to north african radiers or germanic radiers for example as Scoti

  6.  @musashidanmcgrath  you're definitely at the very high end of the scale of estimates with 40% and many of those who died died of famine and disease. We can safely say though that cromwell didn't much like the irish. you didnt mention that his actions were in large part a retaliation for the 1641 genocide that i mentioned (historians put the scale of that genocide at 4k to 12k and it most definitely was a genocide by any modern definition of the word) though you can certainly understand that the irish had grounds to be pissed off with the settlers/colonisers...

  7.  @paulneville7154  well if you're happy with the mass murder of women and children, burnings, drownings etc mebbes you shd let ur priest know next time ur at confession

  8. nah, the english only have around 20 per cent anglo saxon dna, they are overwhelmingly ancient british

  9.  @ko0974  no one knows which part of britain he came from tho i gather irish do indulge in the wales story for obvious reasons

  10. no one knows which part of britain patrick came from

  11.  @turloughtracey3789  when you say welsh you probably mean ancient british (the english are themselves overwhelmingly ancient british in ancestry having only around 20 per cent anglo saxon dna). it doesnt really matter though i suspect irish ppl are a lot happier referring to him as welsh rather than english or british.

  12. and the normans were frenchified vikings not english

  13. lets take into account the thousands of brit settlers in ulster genocided by the irish in the 1640s and call it quits

  14. the irish slave trade pre dated the vikings by centuries, patrick was abducted in the dark ages @MrLeadb1 
    1
  15. the romans had been in britain for around 400 years at the time of patrick's birth by which poing there was a romano british culture of romanised britons, unlikely he was a pureblood ethnic italian
    1
  16.  @Ionlytellthetruth  but was he referring to roman citizenship? many many non ethnic italians throughout the empire such as St Paul had roman citizenship
    1
  17. unlikely he was scottish as he was part of the dying days of roman britain, and they never conquered what we now call scotland of course
    1
  18. @richiec9077 well you never know, but they withdrew behind hadrian's wall in 162 and were still there in the dying days of the roman presence when patrick, whose father was a roman official, was abducted so the scottish connection is probably a bit fanciful
    1
  19. the did invade and colonise what we now call scotland (scoti = irish tribe) snuffing out the pictish language in the process and they did commit genocide against thousands of brit settlers in ulster in the 1640s and the dark ages slave trade was a lot more one sided than you think. By the way, unless you're talking about cromwell the word you're looking for is british not english

  20.  @Unborn-Stillborn  i did make a reply to someone else but it appears to have been deleted, though to be honest i didn't think your feeble reply to me was worth replying to and your last childish message confirms that. Read about the Irish Rebellion of 1641, 4k to 12k men, women and children killed by gen.ocidal mobs. And then grow up a little.

  24. they werent slaves they were indentured servants or convicts sentenced to hard labour in the colonies, plenty of brits , now australians, suffered the same fate

  25.  @Pablo__D  crikey mate, ur venting a bit there!

  26. so centuries of the irish slaving british coasts, long before the vikings came, is all the fault of the wicked brits is it?
    1
  27.  @paddyt4043  well the brits were british (the roman province of britannia had existed since 43AD and i wd think most of their original pre roman tribal identity had been wiped out) and the ancestry of modern english ppl is around 80% ancient british. Pretty sure the slave raids were mainly from the irish to the british but i cd be wrong on that. As for your last sentiment, i cdnt agree more, apart from protestants in norther ireland the vast majority of british ppl cdnt care tuppence about these ancient grudges, im sure simon is just stirring the pot a little here for fun

  28. i think the word you're looking for is british

  31. exactly the other day someone claimed around 12 per cent of london in the 1300s was black. these ppl are political activists @alexdavis1541

  32. the abduction of patrick was done by the english??
    1
  33. there's no moving on for us to do, simon is just making a dry point, no one cares a toss here, unlike the irish, about this kind of ancient history and for the record the british, not the english, wanted to give up the whole of ireland in the 20s but the protestants absolutely refused to the point where they were willing to fight the irish.

  34.  @Ionlytellthetruth  would that be the same irish who the brit st patrick introduced literacy to?
    1
  35. i believe it was patrick , the brit, who brought christianity to ireland in the first place and latin words were separated by a dot, though the space was a great innovation saving time and ink as it did
    1
  36.  @Ionlytellthetruth  the english are the ancient britons, only around 20% of their DNA is anglo saxon, its a myth that the anglo saxons slaughtered or drove out all the ancient british from what we now call england. as for being roman.. well the romans had been in britannia for around 350 -400 years when patrick was around and roman citizenship was commonly given to good citizens who worked with the romans, it doesnt necessarilly mean patrick was ethnically italian and in fact probably wasnt
    1
  37. no one knows where in britain patrick came from tho irish ppl like to tell themselves he came from wales cos they cant bear the thought he came from england.

  38. nah the english are overwhelmingly ancient british having only around 20 per cent anglo saxon dna

  42.  @peadarocoileain902  well he did have one or two things to do in england first like defeat the king's armies and take his head off... there were other reasons for cromwell's invasion of ireland, retaliation for 1641 was only one of them but was definitely a significant factor for cromwell and many others who supported the campaign.
    1
  43.  @peadarocoileain902  you did indeed say it but retaliation can take the form of a general attack on an ethnic group or cultural group or nation, it doesn't have to be against the exact people who did the offending deed
