Letting go of the hatred.

[Thai Tommy]

Motherwell late 60's early 70's were a closed shop for Catholics in the steelworks, locomotive yards and pits.
Left OLHS with all my 'O' levels only the Nationalised SSEB would give me a job. Used those skills to travel and work around the world, met many who took me as one of them, the bile, the WATP attitude has hardened me. Do not hate them for the treatment, they were never aware of the shit they were dishing out.
Just never forgive them nor allow them to try and explain themselves. They will one day have a Damascus moment, pray chronic diaherrea accompanies them.

Spelling not really the important aspect of the rather runny subject matter here.....just as long as you can SMELL it you'll be fine . Answer is no. I'm considered something of an expert on verbal diarrhoea! Speak it fluently.

Diarrhoea runs in his family.
It’s in his genes.

Harsh harsh you say!! I want it to be run with red hot chilli peppers through ripped and ravaged piles, after 10 minutes I want the red hot and to sensitive to touch occur.

My Fenians! Thank you all, the amount of thoughtful response to my OP is both humbling and refreshing.
Each and every one of us has the 'right' to hatred and it is extremely difficult to choose the hard right over the easy wrong. But I'm determined to make that effort in future. I've lived abroad for multiple years and I gave up weed some time ago because I couldn't handle the paranoia any more. Chemically-induced emotions are also the easy wrong. I've always gone for the easy wrong but I find myself now in middle age reflecting on how lucky I am to still be alive and a functioning member of the human race. It's OK looking back and blaming circumstances etc; you can rationalise anything but that can also become a crutch. At some point you need to throw away the crutches, shoulder chips and excuses.
It's never too late to choose to be a better human. Being a better human is and has always been the Celtic Way!
I intend to live to the standard of a true Celt in future and I welcome guidance from those who feel I have deviated from that standard in anything I write here in future.

Can't disagree with a word of that JS. Still feel the hackles rise at the mention of her name. One of the most active, and angry, periods of my life. Maybe a discussion for another day.

“Ice cream and jelly when thatcher dies gonna pass the parcel because your not alive” burn in hell you evil bitch

As I marvel at the next generation of my family, the first not to be brought up in conflict as second class citizens since the dispossession of our ancestors I am often minded of this quote. To think a young lad in his 20s, in the most adverse conditions imaginable, could have such insightful hope for a future he knew he would never see but gave his all to realise only inspires me to rise above.
We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons. Especially now Britain's liquidation mechanism has been largely dismantled.
