I have had an article published this week in The Irish World one of the main newspapers for the Irish community living in Britain. I have outlined why I think voting on June 4th is important for the Irish community but also highlighted the pernicious attempt by the BNP to co-opt Irish votes. It was not that long ago that the Irish were 'scum' to these people and I well remember the very deep based anti-Irish discrimination which existed in this country up until River Dance and the Celtic Tiger made Ireland fashionable. The Irish have been emigrants and immigrants for centuries and it is important to remember that.
