I have. My family was from Ulster until our kind was not welcome there anymore.

I'm going to a big protest. Its happening in Savannah. We're going to protest Bush's policies by getting drunk and singing Red Haired Mary and Tim Finnegan's Wake. Hopefully that'll let the administration know precisely how we feel.

Agreed. My husband still has many relatives in Belfast, and while I don't pretend to understand all the intricacies of the conflict, I've seen the animosity firsthand.

Irish blood, English heart
this I'm made of
there is no one on earth
I'm afraid of
and no regime
can buy or sell me now

I've been dreaming of a time when
to be English
is not to be baneful
to be standing by the flag not feeling
shameful, racist or partial

Irish blood, English heart
this I'm made of
there is no one on earth
I'm afraid of
and I will die
with both of my hands untied

I've been dreaming of a time when
the English are sick to death of Labour
and Tories
and spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell
and denounce this royal line that still salutes him
and will salute him
forever
