There are a couple of notes we would like to make on the Queen's visit to Ireland.
She and the government are making a very obvious effort to create a harmony
between England and Ireland. Naturally, there are not many people alive now
who were around during the troubles of the early part of the twentieth century.
And hundreds of years of British rule over the Irish are now consigned by and large
to history. We are speaking about the dominance by the English going back and
beyond the time of the first Queen Elizabeth. That being said, it is apparently still
hugely dangerous for the monarch to visit, judging by the distance kept between the
people and the Queen, and the emptiness of the streets.
