Interesting point- I can recall the odd Welshman [and they were
usually VERY odd...] but not an Ulsterman or indeed any son of Erin.

I do get the feeling that there WAS one, back in the 1800s.....

If not us, then someone else.

'Cunt' has a long and honourable history as part of English.
Why it's still taboo, I cannot say.

Can someone explain the following to me: it is a fact that the Conservatives got over 100,000 more votes in England in the 2005 general election than Labour did, yet Labour still win the election, and have more seats in Wesminster than anyone else, presumably because of the amount of people in Scotland who voted Labour thus meaning Labour got a majority nationally. So if the Scottish vote can do that and effect Westminster so much, then how comes the PM in London and the Westminster Govt has nothing to do with Scotland? The Lockerbie bomber issue was totally overseen, and his early release too, was done by the devolved Edinburgh Parliament, and the London Govt has nothing to do with it - even though 31 English people died in the Lockerbie bombing. How can this be? Scotland is very much to do with the London Parliament when it comes to the party who won the election in England NOT being the Government because of the Scots vote, yet on all matters Scottish England has no input. It's weird.

It's also a travesty of democracy.
