I am amazed, firstly, that such intemperate, intolerant comments are being subscribed to this topic and, secondly, that those who moderate this website seem content allow them to remain in place without any form of redaction being applied .

This is a sad demonstration that, despite all that has happened down the years, sectarianism survives in a largely undiluted form. Furthermore it indicates that the hatred of 'those who aren't like us' has continued to bubble away, just below the surface, and it has only taken the surge of Britain's recent populist movement to cause it to rise to the surface again and acquire a perverted 'respectability'.
