>Big context though is, despite the massive uproar on twitter about this. The phrase “The planter and the gael” is from a Protestant poet who believed in non-sectarianism. His work largely focused on identity and the history of Ulster.
The scale of how much of a big deal this isn’t is off the charts.
Anyone who gets upset by this is a man-child living in the 1800s

ok
I’m shocked a white American calling a unionist a “planter” didn’t spontaneously implode out of sheer hypocrisy.
US politicians trying to stoke up racial hatred here just like in the US. They should feck off.
Stephen Nolan was losing his shit about this on the beeb last night giving no context. It might as well have been Tucker Carlson.
F*ck Richard Neal and his support for Israel.
Based.
Fine, Gael and Gall it is then.
The ‘Land Thief’ and the Gael.
This guy looks so Irish that its jarring to hear him speak with an American accent.
… immigrants that hate immigrants yet are equal opportunity haters as they also hate indigenous.
I mean in what context is this inaccurate? They are planters
I wonder when HIS ancestors came to the US…
He’s not wrong.
It’s really simple. Call me an Ulster Scot, or Scot’s Irish, don’t call me a planter!
The term Planter and the Gael is a term coined by a poet….. a Protestant one. Was used as a poetic term for the green and orange people on the island and isn’t meant as a pejorative on either.
That’s exactly what they are, but they forget this or turn a blind eye the unionist people are the oddest group of folk on earth everyone is laughing
He’s being quite eloquent actually, and affable with it.
I’ve lived in Oxford for 26 years and I’ve been summarily referred to as a terrorist by allegedly educated people on a regular basis, told that I am hated for being Irish and Catholic, and assaulted for being Irish. Nobody here gives a fuck if you try to complain about any of that.
Well, in 2022 that’s just wrong.
Unless we can call him a colonial.
It was a plantation of Protestants but we’ve seen this plantation of groups globally
Is Fine Gael going to go ahead building the virtual Boris border?

I don’t know why, but Israel entered my mind.
They are planters. Unwelcome planters at that
