We need our own Julie Burchill to fight this anti-culchie discrimination

You're all banjo playing, inbred, car robbing, junkie, boggers to my mind.

my Da is from west Dublin. every single one of his relatives are Dubs. his male ancestors back to 1804 were born in Dublin (we don't know who the fuck they were before that).
my arrival ended that line.

I've often longed to be called a culchie but all I ever get is nordie.

I've always hated that word. I'm not offended but it, it's just a stupid word and it makes people sound stupid with their stupid southern accents

Complete ignorance of their own country. Unsurprisingly.

It's kinda a litmus test for knowing you are talking to a moron.

Classic nordies

Dipped my toe in the responses to a tweet from the Indo or Sindo about the rise of the far right in Ireland over the weekend.

Interesting to see the views of people who are very not my group. Lots of "not far right, just right by far" type responses by people raging about the liberal left media (again, the independent group), totally at odds with the framing of it from people I'd know and tend to agree with who'd have a lot to say about neoliberal tory rags.

The far left is running, and ruining this country apparently.

I am a Dub, but I am kinda down with this
We shouldn't other the nordies any more than the Brits already have

They're us, we're them

They just talk funny

And you fantastically missed the point. As much as I agree with what you're saying for the most part. The Irish of the free state outside of the province of Ulster and perhaps north Louth have othered the people of Northern Ireland (and Ulster) as much as if not more than the British have. Like most Brits see everyone from NI as Irish.

I'm a Dub but don't really consider myself a proper Dub because I have culchie parents.
I've never taken out a loan / many loans from the credit union either.

Nah, I get it

The Brits drew the line, and ran off
And the south played along
All during the 80s and 90s - as far as my memory stretches - the south acted as if all the fighting was happening somewhere else
Somewhere other than just up the road on our island like

Mainland Brits don't have a clue, mostly because they don't give a shit

Sorry I didn't explain the point that you missed, thought I'd let you try again. It was about being called a nordie when you're not from Northern Ireland.

oh

I suppose the one saving grace of partition was it made DOnegal somehow even more remote

Aye behind Pete there's myself, Johnny and Ann Post calling the shots. Say nothing to nobody about that.
