“I fly the flag of the Union from the rooftop of our house. I worked for Her Majesty’s Government to combat the relentless campaign of genocide conducted by the IRA against the Protestant people of Ulster over the course of three decades. I am anything but Irish. I am British. I am exclusively and non-negotiably British. I am not nor never have been nor never will be Irish.” – Eric in David Ireland’s Cyprus Avenue
