Thank God this is being brought out in the open. The English Public School atmosphere of bullying has a very long and inbred history.

The thing is with this banter is that it is all one way. If he were to insult them back on the basis of their ancestry, they would whine like a big bunch of crybabies. However, the Irish haven't built up an effective stereotype of the English to insult them in the same way. Not so the Australians and New Zealanders, who are incredibly disparaging of the English and have a whole load of stereotypes that they use to belittle the English. It's also difficult if you are the only person in the workplace who is Irish, for instance, amongst a whole load of people who share the same non-Irish (for instance) background). That way they can form a large clique and victimise the odd one out. However, this is not restricted to Irish people. I have heard of people who have moved to Manchester from Essex, and being the only non-Mancunian in the workplace, were subject to the most appalling bullying because of it, so much so that they had to get out and move back down south again. It's not just racism, regionalism is alive and well in England.

Those Dutch banks need to be investigated for complicity in drug running through the Dutch islands in the Caribbean. Bought off police and judges. ... As for the "pig under the bed" nonsense, I would have answered: Those fetish brothels you run in the Netherlands for Dutch and Geraan weirdos pay a premium for pigs raised in the bedroom. That phrase drives their Dutch clients wild."

McNair-Wilson said, “at no stage did the claimant raise a claim of direct discrimination while he worked there”.Of course not, has this entity no knowledge of abuse? Oh yes, the stupid Irish and the pigs under the bed banter still goes on in London.The trick is to say I have 10 pigs under my bed in Swiss Cottage, would you like to come see?
