I'm a foreigner in your book. I'm going nowhere.

Keep living your fantasies. The rest of us, the real people of Northern Ireland, not the people you read about in textbooks .... we, whether Protestant, Catholic or Dissenter, continue to get on with the most important thing which is living and working together in a Northern Ireland for all of us.

Yesterday, our main city of Belfast basked in glorious sunshine and during the day I caught up with friends of all religious backgrounds and political opinions, and none, on one of my (unfortunately not as frequent as I would like) visits back home.

I don't give a **** about the Royal Wedding ... the Royal family don't represent anything of me. However, I'm strongly Northern Irish - it's at the core of who I am and more important, for me, than any form of gender identity or personal identity.

Any challenge to that and I'll come down on it massively - your posts don't represent a challenge as they are the sort of stuff an idiotic 13 year old boy with a box of kleenex tissues would write but they are provocative so I respond.

Bit of advice - if you want to post something about Northern Ireland again, better than you understand at least a small bit of what you write about. We are a complex people and we don't suffer idiots gladly.
