But that said, both sides are as bad as each other.
Having spent much of my childhood in NI, the overbearing feeling I have is 'Why can't everyone get the fuck over themselves and move on with life?'.
I have very little time for people who are so preoccupied with historical events and rivalries instead of realising that they have one life and should try to make the most of their own, instead of worrying about others.

That's what we the British try to do in our own country day after day, just get on with it.
However it seems every single day of our lives in our part of the UK at least, there are attacks being made, either literally, or simply on our right to be who we are, in this case by Tesco. It's not us that's causing the problems here. So every day through our local media (be it the Belfast Telegraph or BBC Newsline), we're drawn into it, the propaganda war of the Irish insurgency here in the UK rages on, and you'd have to be blind to be lucky enough to avoid it.
The whole 'both sides are as bad as each other' argument just doesn't wash. The British didn't start the war.
