For Caitlin and Lewis
and the silenced and repressed

The moment the very name of Ireland is mentioned the English seem to bid adieu to common feeling, common prudence and common sense and to act with the barbarity of tyrants and the fatuity of idiots.

Sydney Smith, English clergyman and essayist, 1771-1845

A desire to expiate what are seen as past sins, and a genuine surprise at the appalling record of much of British government in Ireland is understandable but it must be questioned whether it gets us any nearer understanding. Innocent and sometimes naively hilarious works of piety about the Fenians or Young Irelanders, written by amateur historians on the British left fall into a much cruder category They are joined by half-baked sociologists employed on profitably never-ending research into anti-Irish racism, determined to prove what they have already decided to be the case.

Roy Foster, Carroll Professor of Irish History, Oxford University, We Are All Revisionists Now, Irish Review, 1986, p.3

My Dear Mosley,

I have just returned from Northern Ireland. I was disappointed to hear that in some semi-official organ of the Blackshirt Movement there had been attacks upon the North of Ireland government. I think this is a very grave mistake. In the North of Ireland you might find the most valuable recruiting ground of anywhere in the United Kingdom. I am intensely interested in that country, as perhaps you know. My forebears came from there. I do not want my enthusiasm for your cause to be diminished by such an unnecessary and unfair attack

Yours faithfully,
Rothermere.

Lord Rothermere, proprietor of the Daily Mail, to Oswald Mosley, 12 April 1934, copied to Blackmore, Cabinet Secretary to the Unionist Government, in PRONI, CAB9F/123/7
