They are English! Some of them still think Empires are a good idea ( NF, BNP etc)
Daily Mail... ... stick it up the Royal brown! Sorry but... why is it that in Belguim, half.. if not, OVER half, speak French & yet don't buy French papers? Yet, we Irish buy English papers more, than we do our own. We are the only nation that seems to prefer to buy a different country's paper. Where does it end?!

Well Belgium is an interesting case in point... It is now less than half though for many years they were the majority there.Originally Posted by Patronizer
The French speaking Belgians realise that the French look down on them. ( French version of Paddy jokes told about Walloons) {Walloons = French speaking Belgians}
So they would get more news about their issues in Flemish papers than they would in French ones. Hence they buy French-language Belgian papers.
Good info... would they be tabloids do ya know now?

I'm only jesting now BTW but de Valera did say it about five years ago, didn't he - er - want to placate the Unionists or something.
Now, where's that songbook with the words "Rule Brittania gone".
While I'm at it, does anyone know where the expression "I dearly love a Lord" come from - Shakespeare??
