People seem to be looking for enemies in the wrong places.
That "tweet" was fairly plainly a bit of gentle leg-pulling between two people that might at one time have been either side of a sectarian divide. I find it encouraging that they can engage in that kind of friendly banter.
As for those of you who are about to drown in self-righteous indignation, you might do well to remember the enormous progress made in this area since the 90s. Also, it's not like Britain has suffered terribly at the hands of the Irish over the centuries- although there has been suffering on both sides, the balance sheet weighs heavily on the Irish side.
At least do yourselves the favour of reading a balanced history book or two before you turn purple and start spouting on how "evil" anybody is.
Anyway, fuck it. I'm not getting dragged into this tired old shit just because Henry VIII wanted to get his leg over (or wherever you want the starting point to be). All people of the British Isles are facing far greater threats than each other at the moment.
