The IRA killed Brits. And Brits killed them. And even amongst the anti-monarchist left here in Scotland, if somebody calls you a "Brit", meaning somebody who is far too keen on the United Kingdom with England and far too ready to do what London wants, they are definitely not being friendly. So maybe not so harmless after all. Dave Coull (not a Brit)
