Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Having to emigrate to Britain in 1960 and being embraced by the people and the system there with open arms I am simply appalled that there are people here opposed to such a visit. It is time to get real and step outside sectarian agendas and realise, as many in this country have, that GB offered hope, when there wasn't much here. I hope the Queen does come and I would be of the opinion that our country's best efforts will be deployed to make the visit memorable.
As someone who went to school in England for 50s and 60s I don't feel any way subordinate to the monarchy, I actually went to an English Republican school, one of whose past pupils was the author Hillier Belloc a well-known English republican. Many members of the British Parliament, the Scottish parliament and Welsh Parliament and the European Parliament are Republicans. We should protest not only for Irish Republicans but for English Republicans many of whom have come to live here in Ireland and are very welcome. I do not feel in any way subordinate to the British monarchy for having earned a living in England been brought up in England by Irish parents, anything they got they work for and it was equally to the benefit of England'.
You are more than welcome to her . Isn't there any way that you could keep the lovely old lady over in Ireland when she comes seeing that you like her so much ? She seems to be very popular with the Irish judging by your newspapers . You could build her a nice palace to live in over there and a few million quid a year to live on , she'd really like that I think . Tell you what , if you take her we'll throw the Duke of Edinburgh in as well free of charge . Can't be fairer that that , can I?
Sorry if it seems like I'm trying to palm her off on the Irish but we really don't want her in England anymore..
A bigot uses sectarianism to oppose a Monarchy , A Republican applies thee fundamental tenet of Republicanism that all are equal As opposed to a monarchist who's tenet is to honor an elite .
Irish Nationalist Republican's bear particular insulting presence of that Queen .
