These exchanges from the Facebook social network site and concluding comments show my thoughts, as someone who used to be a romantic Irish nationalist in youth and comes from a nationalist background.

Quite a few fake stories are circulating on the internet to try and stir up anti-Islamic sentiment. The worst one I've seen is the fake internet story claiming that teaching about the Holocaust has been banned in Britain. A complete lie. I write about the 'it seems impossible. . pps' in some detail on the views and the downloads section of my website.

The expenses scandal in Parliament, about second homes and expense claims, shows a lot about the attitude of Labour MPs and the Labour Party. So often for the party founded on principles, once its members are elected to power, they are content to become the establishment and to advance themselves. The party was founded on Socialist principles that I disagree with but principles nonetheless that were about advancing society. Yet the figures who run Labour now (whether New Labour or Old) appear as throughout the Tony Blair years to be more comfortable rubbing shoulders with right wing elites in Europe and America than with ordinary working people.
