@IndyRichard@mastodon.scot A few days ago I said I'd grown up in England, but I was very lucky and had 2 excellent History teachers, and they, in turn, had an excellent syllabus to work with. So, unlike many 'English kids', I learned, in a non-partisan way, a lot about the Emancipation campaign in Ireland during the 19th C. Later, growing up with 'The Troubles' on the News almost every night of the week, and a brother-in-law in the Brit military I sooned learned the meaning of dumb insolence.
