It made me laugh to read Brendan’s experiences with the plummy mouthed activists trying to tell him his Irish parents were now the new landed property owners - the new Landlord class. Gosh, how fffing insulting can you get? My father came out of a two room stone cottage with nine other kids on the West Coast of Ireland, went to England at 15 and bought his first house at the grand old age of 21. He worked damn hard all his life digging holes and filling them up with concrete and died at the relatively young age of 72 because he was simply worn out. These young, middle-class Trots can convince themselves all they like, but the facts remain - it’s more than likely their ancestors who directly benefited from slavery, colonialism and the oppression of the working classes in their own country. If you asked them if Mommy and Daddy could kindly hand over their holdings to the State for redistribution then they’d soon change their tune.
