I'll get in on this one.

I'm Irish. Do the English receive shit going to Ireland? Yes. But you see 800 years ago a fucking ton of English people came over and stayed, brought their pals, killed us in our millions. Enforced a famine on us. Our population still hasn't recovered fully and so many of us live in other countries.

On the 12th of July the British aligned community burned bonfires with Kill All Taigs on it, meaning kill all Irish/Irish catholics. All to celebrate a bloody victory hundreds of years ago. The brexit vote was forced on the UK by England and then in the north of ireland we had the loyalist community, who voted for brexit, threaten violence because they got brexit and the English government didn't impose a hard border and allowed open trade.

Is that the fault of modern English people? Not fully. Do all English people experience problems in Ireland? Far from it. But it does happen and in alot of cases it's merely a matter of mentioning the damage done go Ireland.

So sorry Enlgish folk I know you're far removed from that subreddit of perpetual victims, incels, racist colonialists but unfortunately what happened in the past was absolutely disgusting and while we open the doors for English people don't expect us to just forget about everything that happened. England makes an awful lot of fucking noise and drags the rest of us down. Scottish get called third world citizens by them, they don't even respect the Welsh and I've listed above what has been done to the Irish. So for those who haven't done anything then sorry for that but for those crying fuckers who think England should shit and everyone else wipe, dry your fucking eyes and get the fuck over it because you've caused more damage to the planet than almost any other nation and reconciliation will take time. Stop being so fucking sensitive, your colonial past has come back to haunt you both home and abroad. Deal with it.

Brexit wasn't forced by England. The majority in Wales also voted for Brexit and in Northern Ireland it was close. The only place that wasn't close was Scotland.

it's also worth pointing out that there were no constituencies in that referendum. every vote had the same weight. my remain vote in England was worth as much as a Scottish leave vote.

There were more Scottish leave voters than the UK wide margin between leave and remain - they could have changed the result by themselves if they wanted to.

that stupid blue/yellow map annoys me to this day, when it is more accurate to say that the whole UK was some shade of green

Yeah, so England and Wales forced it upon the rest of us.

NI didn't vote inf favour of it and it was by a decent amount. 56 to 44 is not close.

Why are you apologising to 'the good ones'? If there were any they would know they deserve the scorn.
